Starting today, the Vodice. For the Bulgarians in ancient times the days of Voditsi-5,6,7 January were the three most magical days of the year. The holiday dates back to Before Christ and was accepted as a symbol of life and creation. We honor water, and the sky dissolves These are powerful days, cleansing us from past experiences. They are also called days of magic, during which time we can empower ourselves with grace. *January 5 is the first day of Vodica, a day on which our ancestors made silent and called water. January 6 *is the day of masculine energy, when boys and men bathe in cold spring water for health and strength. *And the third and final day of the Water Festival-7 January-is associated with female energy, when women and maidens bathe in cold water for health and fertility. Thus purified, the two energies merge strong into the new year. The Feast of Vodice has its origins long before Christ and is not coincidentally intertwined with Epiphany. Now is a wonderful time to name the new cycle we are entering. Even if we don't believe in rituals, magic and the magical, we need to believe in ourselves. Desire with all your might that which would bring you fulfillment. There is always one thing in our lives whose realization imperceptibly remodels and harmonizes everything else. In time there will be another-"Where you have succeeded, you will not succeed." but you find what is now. If you hesitate, follow the feeling of awe and enthusiasm, they are exceptional guides. The wisdom coming from the past,is not accidental. To know ourselves, we must know our roots. By knowing our traditions, we gain the strength of our ancestors. And this gives us strength in intentions, deeds and fulfillment!" shared from the internet
