Yule Countdown: Welcome Back the Sun

For our Northern Hemisphere readers, it's nearly Yule, the time of the winter solstice. The ancients knew that the winter solstice was the longest night of the year -- and that meant that the sun was beginning its long journey back towards earth. It was a time of celebration, and for rejoicing in the knowledge that soon, the warm days of spring would return, and the dormant earth would come back to life. On this one day, the sun stands still in the sky, and everyone on earth knows that change is coming. You can perform this ritual to celebrate the return of the sun: Welcome Back the Sun
