Merry meet everyone, So today I am going to be talking to you about ways to celebrate Yule this year. From how I personally have celebrated Yule and some good ideas and tips that may help you have a blessed Yule this year. So for me personally Yule is celebrated from the 21st til the national Christmas day. This is because I work retail and I am normally in work up until Christmas day. So instead of doing a whole day of celebrations I do it over a couple of evenings. The main Yule day I will light my Yule candle (One that I have blessed and carved with my wish for next year) and I would sit in front of my altar and write down on a sheet of paper my wishes for next year. I then will add it to my new wish chest that I got in the Freya's Cauldron box last month. I did have another one but it was too big for what I use it for so I have gifted that to a friend of mine. I then have my altar fully lit with candles for each night up til Christmas. Depending on the day I will add an offering bowl of seeds and herbs, A glass of wine or water (if I have wine in). I do have some bits I keep personal for myself depending on what I would like to manifest for the following year. I do spend time reading through my book of shadows where I keep the history of Yule and why we celebrate it because I love reading about it to be honest. Now to give you some ideas on how you could celebrate Yule this season: - You could empower mistletoe for healing and prosperity in your household. - Research the history behind yule and of st nick. I love reading about this so I hope you do too. - Make your own Yule log, I did this last year with a small log chunk and I had holes put it for the spell candles. I had ribbon and leaves decorating it and it was beautiful. It didn't survive my family on christmas day though. - Make puppets with your children to add to your family altar to represent the oak and holly kings and their journey. - You could bless your Christmas cards that you send to friends and family this season. They don't have to be Yule related to send them positive energy. - You could make a list of things you wish to let go, as Yule is a time of closure and where near beginnings happen. Think back on the past year and see whats been holding you back or causing you problems. Write them down on white paper and once you feel your ready to let go, burn the white paper in a cauldron to show the end of that story. You may do this for things you do not need as well. - Sit in front of your altar and meditate or prayer. You may pray for anything you wish but this is another great way to connect yourself to Yule this season. - Cook a feast. This is normally what I do on Christmas day as my whole family comes to celebrate but you may do this on Yule as well and celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of anew. If you have any ideas on how to celebrate Yule this season let me know bellow in the comments and I will see you all next year. I wish you all a blessed Yule and a very Merry Christmas. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Comments are closed.
