Yule


Yule celebrates rebirth as well as the Sun God. Festivities typically occur from around December 21-January 1st. Ways to celebrate are as follows; reflect on gratitudes of the year, take a solstice walk, make a Yule wreath, light a hearth fire, feed animals, tell legends around the fire, have a feast, light some candles. I hope you have a wonderful day! Blessed Be!

Outside:

  • Leave out birdseed ornaments as offerings to the season

  • If snowing, play in the snowfall to appreciate the changing season or collect some for snow water

  • After the sun has gone down, burn a yule log in a bonfire

  • Take some friends and go wassailing

In the Home:

  • Make stovetop potpourri as an alternative to incense 

  • DIY gifts with your witch skills for your friends and family 

  • Read a winter solstice tarot spread for yourself

  • Decorate your holiday tree, blessing the ornaments with good energy

  • Hang mistletoe for protection and (consensual!) kisses

In the Kitchen:

In the Bath:

  • Bathe with fresh orange slices and frankincense and myrrh essential oils for a prosperity ritual bath

  • Take a lazy witch holiday LUSH bath (suggestions here

  • Do a pre-solstice ritual bath with essential oils

  • Make winter spice bath bombs and enchant them for prosperity

On your Altar:

  • Use colors like reds, greens, whites, and metallic colors

  • Add holly, pine, ivy, mistletoe, juniper, or cedar for some greenery

  • Decorate with a yule wish bottle to for some easy magic

  • Represent the seasonal harvest with oranges, pears, nuts, and berries

  • Incorporate snowflake obsidian, clear quartz, or bloodstone
