A lot of times we get so caught up in the hullaballoo of the holidays, that before we know it, Yule is here and we have no idea what to do. It's December 21, and all you know is that the sun came up. Plan ahead a little -- and get the kids involved -- and figure out what sort of rituals you'd like to do to celebrate this year. Not sure what to try? Here's a few options:
- Welcome Back the Sun for Yule
- Hold a Goddess Rite (for solitaries)
- Hold a Goddess Rite (group ceremony)
Not sure yet which deities -- if any -- you'd like to honor? There's a huge selection to choose from. If your tradition doesn't have a specific god or goddess to celebrate at the winter solstice, try this list to see who "speaks" to you:
Finally, if you're more into the holly-jolly aspect of the season, why not start something new for your family, and go out Wassailing? It's a lot of fun, a good way to get kids and adults out together, and when you're all done, you can snuggle up in front of a fire.
