Between the 15th of November and the 6th of December is celebrated the coming of the winter and the renewing of the year. This cycle of holiday rituals was named An-Dar (becoming by phonetic modification the old name of the month of December, Undrea), meaning "the end of the year" or Neikoy, "the old one".

It is marked by four important ritual moments: The Day of the Light, also known as Vovidenia, the Day of the Great Filip, the Day of the Lame Filip (a most fierce wolf divinity) on the 21st of November; the Night of the Wolves, also known as The Night of the Spirits, the night between the 29th and the 30th of November; The Day of the Wolf God, the 30th of November; and The Day of the Old Man, on the 6th of December. During this time important rituals and spells are casted, as it is a most potent time of the year for magic, the counterpart of the "Night of the Fairies", midsummer.

After the coming of Christianity, these days have been associated in the christian calendar with the "day of the entrance of the Holy Virgin in the temple", the Night of St. Andrew (or the Night of the Undead - corresponding to Western Europe's Halloween), and the Day of St. Andrew, and, respectively, the day of St. Nicholas.

The Day of the Light celebrates the survival of Life through winter, the fact that no matter what, the Light cannot be smothered by the cold and the dark. It's a celebration of the sight, of the new beginnings, the beginning of leaving behind what was dark and ugly and opening the eyes towards the Light. People would wipe their eyes with bunches of magical plants dipped in blessed water, to have a clear sight and purify them of all the bad things they have seen over the year, and also to be able to see magic omens and sights.

Offerings are made for the souls of the ones who have died in darkness (i.e. by drowning).

On the eve of the Day of the Light long thin candles are lit and twisted inthe shape of a circle and by their light is blessed and "watched" all night water that will be used in healings. Spells to "see the Fate" are casted, and generally divination spells and rituals, for it is the night when the veil is thinned enough for foreseeing. It is the best time in the whole year to do divination.

From the 6th of December until the 24th of December, there is a series of days of preparation for the coming of the "Time Outside of Time" .
