YULE Yule Yule, Yuletide, Winter Solstice or Christmas whichever you prefer, is celebrated by Pagans the 21st or 22nd of December. This day marks the end of the dark half of the year and the beginning of the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day.The Yule LogThe Yule log is the highlight of this festive season. The traditional wood used for the Yule log is Ash.According to tradition, this log is decorated with seasonal greenery, soaked with cider or ale, dusted with flour and lit with a piece of log saved from the previous year. The log used for the season must be cut from the yard or given as a gift. It is considered unlucky to buy your own Yule log.Once lit the log would burn throughout the night, then left to smolder for 12 days, before being put out. A small piece of the log is then saved to start the fire for the log the next year.Now that times have changed and fireplaces are not found in every home, some adjustments can be made for convenience.You could look in your yard, nearby wooded areas or park for a small log or branch of evergreen. You may need to flatten one side so it will not roll.Drill three holes in the top of the log/branch to hold 3 candles. Candle combinations include: Season - red, green, and white Sun God - green, gold, and black Goddess - white, red, and black.Decorate with greenery, bows, seasonal flowers, cloves, and dust with flour. Light candles and burn daily for 12 days. Save your Yule log for the following year.Symbols of the SeasonFoods of Yule: Cookies and caraway cakes, cider, cinnamon-ginger tea, fruits (roasted apples, clove studded apples and oranges), nuts, pork dishes, turkey, eggnog, spiced cider, wassail, ale.Colors of Yule: Red, green, gold, orange, silver, white, yellow.Incense of Yule: Ash, pine, cedar, bayberry, cinnamon, frankincense.Herbs of Yule: Bayberry, blessed thistle, cedar, evergreen, frankincense, holly, laurel, mistletoe, oak, pine, sage.Stones of Yule: Bloodstones, diamonds, garnets, emeralds, rubies.Activities of Yule: Burning the Yule log, caroling, decorating the Yule tree, exchanging presents, hanging wreaths, kissing under the mistletoe, honoring Kriss Kringle.
