Altars and rituals

February 12, 2026

One year after February is a fresh start, here I am, once again, listening to ethereal music. I enjoy this liminal time between reflecting on the past year and setting up for the new one. I believe in a new year full of the same routines. Growth through repetition. My numerology for 2026 leans towards a year of ambition and harvest, but my new year goals are my most down-to-earth ones yet because I crave a solid foundation. Year after year, I have been reinforcing my belief in the transformative power of small things. Give me a journal, a guided meditation, a yoga mat and a cup of coffee and I’m the happiest girl in the world. It was with these rituals in mind that I curated the following songs.

The playlist:

First Time — Lucy Dacus
