Winter Solstice

Yule is the ancient holiday celebrating the winter solstice time when the sun is at its weakest and the calendar is coming to a close. Although most customs beginning with saturnalia have to do with light, prosperity, and luck for the New Year, many of us find ourselves at odds with the manic party energy surrounding the holidays.
Celebrate Sabbat the longest night of the year, by aligning ourselves with the dormant energies of winter. begin this spell after dinner, turn all TV, radio and electric lights off. Dress yourself in your favorite pajamas. If you have a fireplace build a fire, if not light a stout red candle. Gaze into the flames and empty your mind of worldly concerns. Breath and look into the flames with a soft focus. Images will begin to suggest themselves to you. Give yourself an hour of quiet time.
