Holidays are more than leisure, food, and presents. They’re a chance to slow down, recharge, and remember what’s really important. What if you could add more depth to the season with creativity and mindfulness?
This year, step out of the routine. Say goodbye to the lists that never end and welcome something nourishing for the soul. Here’s how you can make your holiday season magical in a whole new way.
DIY Tarot Crafts
Tarot is not only for readings. The deck can be a tool for artistic expression, too. Each card is rich with imagery, symbolism, and stories. To use them creatively is a beautiful way to bond with their wisdom. And best of all? You don’t need to be an artist to do so.
Make Your Own Tarot Deck
Instead of buying a deck, why not create one? Grab some blank cards, paints, markers, or even shredded magazines for collage. Focus on a few cards rather than all 78. For example, paint your favorite Major Arcana cards.
Tarot-Inspired Ornaments
Include tarot as part of your holiday decorations. Create paper ornaments with tarot images. Draw your favorite card, scale it down, and hang it on the tree. Thread garlands of colorful card symbols along your living room. These little touches will fill your space with layers of magic.
Tarot Vision Boards to Guide Us
Pick a tarot card that will guide your holiday vision board. If you draw “The Star,” cover your board with pictures that embody hope, renewal, and healing, and so on. This turns a craft project into a roadmap for your next year.
Incorporating Nebula into Your Holiday Practices
If you want to weave technology into your spiritual journey, the Nebula app is a perfect companion. It’s like having a tarot deck and guidebook-sized friend in the palm of your hand. What’s especially magical about Nebula during the holidays is that it removes friction. You don’t need to pack your whole altar or lug your tarot deck over to Grandma’s house.
The rituals, reflections, and guidance are right in your phone — so your spiritual practice stays consistent, no matter how merry (or wild) the season gets. And there’s so much more aside from Tarot readings, just see the Nebula astrology review.
Chakra-Colour Scavenger Hunts
Colours are powerful. They shift moods, trigger memories, and stir emotions. In spirituality, colours are also intertwined with chakras, the energy centres of the body. Each =is linked to a particular colour: red for root, orange for sacral, yellow for solar plexus, green for heart, blue for throat, indigo for third eye, and violet for crown.
So what do you do to turn chakras into a holiday activity? Have a scavenger hunt!
Indoor Hunt
Search your home for items in every colour of the chakras. Red apples, an orange scarf, a yellow candle, and so on. Instantly, your everyday surroundings are transformed into the game.
Outdoor Adventure
Finish up and take a walk. Find chakra colours in nature or Christmas lights. Red berries, green pines, golden lights, or violet ribbons. Whatever is around you becomes a spiritual playground.
Group Challenge
Make it a family or friends event. Each participant seeks out or snaps a photo of one item for each colour. See what they found at the end. Everybody sees the world differently, and that only makes the game more fun.
Why is this more than just play? Because colours vibrate at energy centres in the body. When you’re looking for red, you’re also accessing stability grounding. When you’re looking at green, you’re tuning to compassion. Participating in the activity grounds you in these energies without your even realising it. It’s a holiday game that also feeds your soul.
Mindful Journaling
The holidays are boisterous. Between parties, prep work, and constant activities, you can lose your internal voice. Journaling is a gentle way to reclaim it. In a plain notebook with a pencil, you can catch moments of calm.
Tarot Prompt
Pull a tarot card. Ask yourself: What is the message of this card for me this season? If you pull “The Hermit,” maybe you need more time alone. If you pull “The Sun,” maybe happiness is lighting your way. Write down your thoughts.
Gratitude Prompt
Name three things you are grateful for today. They don’t have to be big. A blanket around your shoulders. The smell of fresh-baked cookies. A loved one’s laughter. Gratitude grounds you in the present, helping worries dissipate.
Color Prompt
Select one colour of the chakra that you found on your scavenger hunt. Consider what it symbolises. If you notice a lot of green, it is about love and bonding. If violet caught your eye, write about your spiritual desires.
Journaling during the holidays is more than recording memories. It eases stress, clears the mind, and strengthens your spiritual practice. Plus, looking back on your words later can reveal how much you’ve grown.
Conclusion
Spirituality does not necessarily have to be somber—it can be playful. Holidays are routines and traditions, but they can be invitations to play, discover, and reflect, too. With DIY tarot crafts, you are spiritualizing art. With chakra scavenger hunts, you are playing while connecting with the energy of your body. With mindful journaling, you are gaining inner wisdom in the midst of holiday chaos.
These activities invite curiosity, playfulness, and a little courage to try something new. So this year, grab your paints, grab your journal, and start your scavenger hunt!
