About

The *Raunächte*(also called "Rauhnächte" or "the Twelve Nights") are an ancient tradition, steeped in folklore, mythology, and spiritual significance, particularly in Germanic and Alpine regions. 

These nights, spanning from December 21 to January 2, are seen as a powerful and liminal period between the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one. This date is the traditional one, because the Raunächte have no connection to Christmas, but are connected to the winter solstice. 

But their importance can be understood through several key aspects, which I will explain to you in this pdf-book.
