The pagan new year devotional is a traditional ceremony and celebration observed by many pagan and earth-based spiritual traditions. It is a time to honor and give thanks for the passing year, as well as to welcome the coming year with intention and purpose. During the pagan new year devotional, practitioners gather together in a sacred space, often outdoors or in a specially designated area, to connect with the natural world and the cycles of life. This ceremony is typically held at the winter solstice, which marks the longest night of the year and the return of the sun. The main purpose of the pagan new year devotional is to reflect on the past year and express gratitude for the blessings and lessons received. It is a time to acknowledge and release any lingering negativity or unresolved emotions from the past year, and to set intentions for the coming year.

It's basically a mini computer and HD display placed inside of a large, elegant, one-way mirrored frame. It's made “smart” by a mini computer (Raspberry Pi 4B - 4GB) running live internet modules (graphics or information) over WiFi. The HD display positioned behind the one-way mirror displays user-selected modules (partial list below). When the display is on, you can see both your reflection and custom-tailored information on the HD display screen.
