The winter solstice is such a powerful moment in the year.
It’s the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere, and there’s something almost ancient in the way the world seems to pause for it.
Across so many cultures, this time marks a symbolic turning point:
✨ letting go of the old,
✨ embracing renewal,
✨ trusting that light will return even in the deepest dark.
It’s a beautiful reminder that cycles of rest and rebirth are natural — for the earth and for us.
Are you doing anything special to mark the solstice?
Yule is a historical pagan festival that celebrates this event. Many modern celebrations of Yule occur on the Winter Solstice, making the terms practically synonymous for many people today.
The festival was and is centered around the Winter Solstice.
The celebration often includes themes of fire, light, and feasting, and symbolizes the rebirth of the sun as days start getting longer.
Today, many modern Pagans still celebrate Yule on the day of the Winter Solstice.
