β¨ A Touch of Spookie Workshop β with a Yuletide Twist! β¨
For the past few years, Claire O'Dell, Suzanne Greenyer and Tracey Constant, have shared a lovely tradition just before the Christmas festivities begin: creating our very own wooden Yule Logs to light throughout the holiday season.
This custom reaches all the way back to pagan times, when families would bring a great log into their homes for the Winter Solstice. It was lit to welcome back the sun after the longest night, to protect the household, and to bring good fortune for the year ahead.
Weβve adapted it for modern times (since most of us donβt have open fires!). Instead, we bore holes into the logs, add candles of choice, and decorate them with festive trinkets. Each evening, from
Christmas until Twelfth Night, we light the candles, set intentions for the year ahead, blow them out, and relight them the next evening. We gather in the garden, burn the log, and toast the fire together. π₯
Over the years, friends on Facebook and visitors to our homes have admired these magical logs and often asked if they could make one too⦠so this year, you can!
