Hello beautiful souls, hope you are all
well !!
Today is the shortest day of the year otherwise know as The Winter Solstice, Midwinter and the beginning of Yule time 🧡
Today is a celebration of the shortest day and longest night, a celebration that whilst we may be still in the darker days we moving in to the light !!
Today is the pagan new year as it’s the beginning of the new sun cycle 💛
It is a time for renewal in all aspects personal and in the world around us.
Traditionally a lot of the things we do to celebrate
Christmas comes from the Pagan traditions used to celebrate Yule !!
🎄Bringing a pine tree in to the house and decorating it, although they used to use food as decoration where as we now use lights and baubles.
🎄Creating an evergreen wreath to hang on the door to represent continuous life on earth, with things like holly and mistletoe on it for healing and protection.
🎄Celebration of Yule with a feast with our loved ones, eating and drinking lots of the foods we do now like mulled wine and spiced cakes.
🎄Writing goals for the year to come in a book of
shadows much like our New Years resolutions.
🎄The singing of Solstice carols.
There are also some traditions which have now been lost such as burning pine in your home for good luck, planning a herb garden for spring and casting spells for good luck, prosperity and peace for the new year.
I certainly will be using the next few days to work on my intentions and goals in my book of shadows for next year, a cleansing bath, drinking some ginger tea, eating spiced cakes and making myself a Yule alter 🧡
Taking this time to let go of the past and to embrace the future.
Why not start now to take that time to start to plan your goals for next year, enjoy some Yule traditions, start to welcome in the longer days and look for the light !!
Love and healing to you all ###x💜💜
