Hello my dear friends, this poem I wrote myself is meant to take you into the magic of the Rauhnights, the mystical time between the years when anything is possible!

The magic of the Rauhnights lies between the years, even when we think our lives have come to a standstill! Yet these twelve special nights are filled with pure magic, and once you have experienced their enchantment, you will never forget it!

The old has passed, the new awaits, the nights between the years are a truly special time! For each of the coming months there is one particular night, as if Creation itself had woven something truly special into each one!

On Christmas Eve the magic begins in the most wonderful way; whoever dreams beautifully on this night will see their dreams grow! The invisible boundaries between reality and fantasy begin to fade, and once you have experienced it, you will never forget the magic of the Rauhnights!

The old year has served faithfully and may now depart in peace. With gratitude and love, we come to understand the message of the past. Let go of what has been; the time was beautiful, and even if it was not, we should still move forward with gratitude!

For everything has its season in life, as past and future gently intertwine. Keep the beauty of those moments within your hearts, and let the mist of the Rauhnights carry away your worries and your pain!

Let the sparkling night sky be a faithful witness for you all as, during these extraordinary nights, your hearts are washed clean once again! The Wild Hunt rides majestically across the heavens as the boundaries between the worlds grow thin and the stars glow with magic!

Yet we humans are well protected by the heavenly powers. No matter how fiercely the Wild Hunt may thunder through the skies, its wailing cannot harm us. So we remain devoted in our trust as we gaze with reverence upon the star-filled heavens!

For every single star springs directly from our hearts, allowing us to leave behind the sorrow and worries of the old year. Twelve unwritten new months lie before us—let us celebrate this new beginning with gingerbread and warm punch! Let us look ahead with joyful anticipation, for light has always triumphed over darkness!

For we can always place our trust in the infinite universe; we need only look between the years! The magic of the Rauhnights touches our hearts deeply as we stoke the fire in the stove with joyful anticipation!

Twelve eventful months—how quickly a year passes! If we truly allow it, our wishes can become reality. For each of us holds our own future in our hands, so that it is not the Wild Hunt that prevails, but our hearts and our minds.

My very best wishes for the coming New Year. Simply believe with all your heart, and your dreams will come true!
