YULETIDE & THE WINTER SOLSTICE
(DEC. 22-JANUARY 2nd)

The Winter Solstice is the shortest day & longest night of the year with the sun at its shortest peak, marking Midwinter & the darkest part of the Pagan Wheel. This is a turning point, not only in the Wheel, but in our own lives. As the Celtics believed that all life springs from death & all light shines from darkness, the Winter Solstice marks both the end & the beginning, a reminder that nothing truly ends, but runs in a continuous cycle. At this point, we are also changing. In preparation for new beginnings, it is important to protect & keep the harmony of one’s home, hearth, & family. To mark the Winter Solstice & the beginning of season, cultures around the world celebrate various festivals in honor of the season, deities, & preparation for renewal. The Romans celebrate Saturnalia, the Slavic observe Karachun, the Feast of Lucia in Scandinavia, Mutternacht of the Saxons, & most modernly celebrated, Yule, which has its roots extended in both Viking & Germanic histories.
