⭐🎄Celebrating Yule 🎄⭐

Hello darlings 🥰,

As December ushers in its wintry charm, let's dive into the magical world of Yule, the Winter Solstice celebration, a time of rebirth and renewal in the Pagan calendar. ✨❄️

Yule, celebrated on the shortest day of the year, marks the return of the sun and the promise of brighter days ahead. In 2023, Yule, also known as the Winter Solstice, falls on Thursday, December 21st. This day marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizing the rebirth of the sun and the beginning of winter. Here's how you can embrace this enchanting season:

Ingredients:

🌲 Evergreen branches (Pine, Fir, or Cedar)

❄️ Snowflakes or snowflake decorations

🕯️ White, Gold, or Silver candles

🔔 Bells

🍊 Oranges or orange slices

🌰 Nuts and berries

Ritual:

🌟 Create a Yule Altar: Decorate your altar with evergreen branches, candles, and symbols of the sun. It's a beautiful way to honor the returning light.

🌟 Light Candles: As you light white, gold, or silver candles, reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new cycle.

🌟 Make Yule Decorations: Craft snowflakes, hang bells, and dry orange slices. These activities are not only fun but imbue your space with festive energy.

🌟 Hold a Feast: Celebrate with a meal featuring nuts, berries, and seasonal fruits. Sharing food is a way to connect with loved ones and the earth's bounty.

🌟 Reflect and Release: Write down what you wish to let go of from the past year and what you hope to bring forth. Burn the paper safely in your candle flame as a symbolic release.

🌟 Connect with Nature: Take a walk in the woods, listen to the silence of winter, and feel the magic of the earth.

Yule is a time for inner reflection, peace, and joy. Embrace its magic, and let the light fill your heart and home.

@Regran_ed from @kishlb - #classic #boondocks #christmas #christmasorgy #christmasorgin #romanculture #saturnalia #jesus #christmastree #christmasdecor #rudolph #nutcracker #christmasgifts #christmascookies Saturnalia, held in mid-December, is an ancient Roman pagan festival honoring the agricultural god #Saturn. Saturnalia celebrations are the source of many of the traditions we now associate with Christmas. WHAT IS SATURNALIA? Saturnalia, the most popular #holiday on the #ancientRoman calendar, derived from older farming-related #rituals of midwinter and the #wintersolstice, especially the practice of offering gifts or sacrifices to the gods during the winter sowing season. The #pagancelebration of Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture and time, began as a single day, but by the late Republic (133-31 B.C.) it had expanded to a weeklong festival beginning December 17. (On the #Juliancalendar, which the Romans used at the time, the winter solstice fell on December 25.) HOW THE ROMANS CELEBRATED SATURNALIA During Saturnalia, work and business came to a halt. Schools and courts of law closed, and the normal social patterns were suspended. People decorated their homes with wreaths and other greenery, and shed their traditional togas in favor of colorful clothes known as synthesis. Even #slaves did not have to work during Saturnalia, but were allowed to participate in the festivities; in some cases, they sat at the head of the table while their masters served them. Instead of working, Romans spent Saturnalia gambling, singing, playing music, feasting, socializing and giving each other gifts. Wax taper candles called cerei were common gifts during Saturnalia, to signify light returning after the solstice. On the last day of Saturnalia celebrations, known as the #Sigillaria, many Romans gave their friends and loved ones small terracotta figurines known as #signillaria, which may have referred back to older celebrations involving #humansacrifice. - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJoUh_nU6o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wwvci57394vc

Holly & The Twelfth Night . Interesting Fact: On the 12th night, it was customary to carry a flaming branch of holly through the town accompanied by a loud band and fireworks. 12th night was originally a Pagan celebration which marked the end of winter solstice revels and was eventually adopted into the Christian calendar. Wassailing was also marked the end of solstice revels, and the term comes from the Old English wæs hæl, meaning “be healthy” or “be whole.” 7 It was first used as a greeting, then a toast, and then for holiday door-to-door singing. . For the Pagan: since holly is associated with divinity, a few leaves can be burned to honor your special deity on this day of Epiphany. Write the name of a goddess or god on a holly leaf. Use additional leaves or a sprig of holly to honor multiple deities. Go to a place outdoors where it is safe to burn things. Light a candle and then hold the leaves between your palms as you say: On this day of epiphany, I take time to honor thee. Your love and guidance I request; and through your power I will be blessed. Touch the holly to the candle flame and then drop it into your cauldron or other vessel. Repeat the incantation as the holly burns. When the ashes cool, scatter them on the ground. .

Mon plus sombre Lughnassad à ce jour. Je me suis envolé vers les champs moissonné de la vie sous le soleil de fin de journée rendant l'air chaud et les ombres plus grandes. La déesse à fauché le roi du blé et son sang à coulé de l'intérieur des épis couleur or. L'odeur du pain sortant du four s'est mélangé à celui de la mort et mes larmes ont arrosé les champs labouré sans qui la croissance n'aurait pas lieu. J'ai bu la bière de la vie et mangé le pain du sacrifice agenouillé devant mon seigneur tombé. Mais je sais que grâce aux larmes et au sang dans la terre il se relèvera. . . . . . . . . #lughnassad #lammas #witchcraft #witch #witchcelebration #wicca #wiccasabbat #witchaesthetic #wickerman #harvest #harvestcelebration #paganism #pagancelebration #witchvibes #frenchwitch #gaywitch #witchofcolor #instawitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZsYWEBqTR/?igshid=r59p561z90u4

🌞 Sunstone is one of several stones that is perfect for Imbolc. Sunstone is a really happy stone and can help with some forms of seasonal depression. It also brings luck light and good fortune to people who own it. It is associated with the sun and its element is fire and, since Imbolc symbolizes the beginning of spring, it’s the perfect stone to use as an offering during this celebration. ☀️ * * * * * * #sunstone #sunstonecrystal #sunstonetumble #sun #fire #imbolc #imbolcblessings #imbolcaltar #imbolcfestival #celebration #gaelic #gaelicholiday #pagan #paganholiday #pagancelebration #stone #stonesandcrystals #crystalsandrocks #love #metaphysical #metaphysicalhealing #paganwitchcraft #paganwitch #crystallove #rockhound #happy #metaphysicalstore #metaphysicalshop #witchshop #witchstore
