A Winter Solstice Ritual
Words by: Maggie Laubscher | Music by: Abby Yemm
On the darkest day, we look to the light to come. Today is such a day, as it marks the winter solstice, the official start of winter and the celebration of Yule.
It’s a hopeful contrast, the winter solstice, with longer days of light coming only after this shortest and darkest day. Ushering in a return of light, Yule represents leaving the old year behind and starting anew. It’s one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world, and one of our most cherished.
Yule offers many rituals and celebrations – read our intro here from last year. One we are focusing on this year is the Fireside Setting of Intentions. Read on for how to create your own right at home.
✨ Happiest of Yules to you, Nellies ✨
