Year of the Wood Snake: Forecasts + Rituals

When is the year of the snake?
The Year of the Snake, part of the Lunar New Year, spans from January 29, 2025 to February 16, 2026. Across many cultures, the festivities center around honouring deities and seeking blessings for prosperity, health, and protection. Homes are thoroughly cleaned to sweep away misfortune and create space for good luck.

People also pay respect to both birth families and chosen families, while ancestral tributes are offered to honour lineage. A unique aspect of the celebration is the generosity extended to even stray animals, symbolizing a deep sense of gratitude and interconnectedness with all beings. These practices reflect a profound focus on community care, ensuring that not only human but more-than-human entities are included in the blessings of the season.

This blend of honouring the sacred, fostering human bonds, and expanding what is life-giving are themes in the 2-hour recording, focusing on thematic forecasts collectively and individual predictions based on Chinese astrological signs, as well as three occult practices, including instructions of how to do a binding spell.
