How I Celebrated Yule

This was for the Dec 10th Esbat for my Circle. We did a pre-Yule Esbat with ties the three stages of womanhood, The Roman Goddess Libertia & a focus on divination as well as a tool recharging

We had 3 women present. we set up our space, created our sacred space, called Corners and Gods, made stuff, did tarot, made wishes and said how much we love The Goddess. She was so pregnant and BIG that now we couldn't help but celebrate her beauty.

We ended with meditation and closed our circle.

It was wonderful.
