I hope everyone is content, with their loved ones and safe.
My heart goes out to all those who cannot have that. I haven't spoken a lot about politics on my blog but I want everyone to know that I am Pro-Palestine, that Black Lives Matter and everyone should have a roof over their head and food on the table. There are many problems in the world, pointedly in Congo and Yemen.
I want to take the time to keep these people in my thoughts and hopefully bring awareness.
I'm also sending love to those who don't feel comfortable with their family right now. Who are in their rooms because it's all too much. I want you to know that you've got this. It will get better.
As the winter solstice, Yule represents the darkest and longest night of the year, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Witches view Yule as a time of introspection, renewal, and spiritual rebirth.
In essence, Yule serves as a spiritual reminder of the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth, encouraging everyone to align themselves with the rhythms of the natural world and find spiritual meaning in the changing seasons.
Rituals to celebrate
🕯️ Light a candle or burn a Yule log to reflect on the warmth and hope that light brings during the dark season.
🌲 Decorate your altar and your home with evergreen branches, holly, mistletoe, and other symbols of life and continuity.
❄️ Take a silent walk in nature to connect with the winter landscape.
🎁 Engage in acts of kindness or community service to share the abundance in your life.
The Yule Log. During the 12day period of Yule, Celtic tribes believed that the sun stood still in the sky, and it was tradition to keep a Yule Log burning in the hearth to coax it back into moving again, as well as to conquer the darkness and banish evil spirits.
