The Day of the Illuminated Path marks the beginning of The Season of New Beginnings (February 1st – March 19th).

The year starts with the Season of New Beginnings. During this time of year, Kindred Stars guides us down new paths and reminds us to focus on setting intentions for the year by starting new things or rededicating ourselves to things that brought us joy, healing, growth, and love in the last year. 

On The Day of the Illuminated Path (February 1st), we come together to celebrate the new year by cleaning, cleansing, and purifying ourselves and our homes to clear away the things that brought us sorrow and hardship in the previous year and to make way for something new. Candles, incense, oils, or other flames should be lit in the pentakirion after the sun goes down. 

After the home and your body are cleansed, a ritual may be performed to set your intentions for the new year.
