Blessings of Yule and the Winter Solstice! While today we experience the
longest period of darkness, we must remember that today is also the day
that we prepare for the return of our Sun God. As we turn the Wheel of
the Year today we will find that our days, once again, begin to lengthen
as the strength of our Sun God grows and we are able to enjoy his light
a bit longer. It's the perfect night to celebrate the darkness of the
night, and use this time to pause and reflect upon days gone by, while
understanding that the light is returning to us bringing us energy of
growth and new beginnings in our lives.
Today we also celebrate
our Winter Solstice, the beginning of winter and for many of us that
means getting ready for some colder days and snow that may be headed our
way. While I enjoy snow around the holidays I'm usually quite ready to
move on from it as soon as we reach the first day of January. While it
can be pretty and there really is something to be said for those quiet
nights of snow, especially when the Moon lights it up, I still prefer
when we can have our gardens back and I can spend time by my pond. Here
in New England we haven't had much for snow this year yet. We had a bit
of snow on Thanksgiving. Funny enough that seems to be almost an annual
tradition here to get a dusting right around Thanksgiving. While I
always have hopes of a white Christmas, that's not in the cards for my
town this Christmas.
Today is also Yule! Yule is one of the
oldest winter celebrations in the world. So many different traditions
are being passed down each year through families and I find them all so
much fun to learn about. Some that I am familiar with are the hanging of
dried apples and oranges as they represent the sun and help to bring
that energy towards us. Holly and Ivy were used as decorations to help
attract Nature Sprites or spirits to come and join in the celebrations.
You may find that a sprig of Holly was kept near the door to welcome
holiday guests and bring them a bit of good fortune. Bay leaves were
burned to bring prosperity in the coming months. This is also the night
that the Yule Log was typically burned as well. The Yule log was
supposed to be a log from your own property or a gift from someone. It
was meant to burn on the Solstice night and then smolder for 12 days. A
more modern tradition involves adding three candles to the Yule log in
celebration. As a witch I like to choose a log that has the wood that
has the magickal properties that I wish to draw in the coming year. You
can also hang branches with ribbons on them that have the magickal
properties you wish to draw towards you.
While Samhain is the
time that we often celebrate our Ancestors, I find this is often an
important time of year to honor their memories and welcome their spirit
as well. I can feel their energy around us and honestly some times I
can feel it stronger now than I can at Samhain. I believe this is
because at this time of year we often engage in traditions that have
been passed down through our families like hanging certain decorations,
making certain recipes or even lighting candles in memories of loved
ones who may not be with us. Each year I make sure to do at least one
thing that honors my loved ones on the other side. If often winds up
being a lot more. I find that I often wind up teaching my children a lot
about their elders that walked before them around this time of the
year.
No matter how you choose to celebrate I wish all of you the
most wonderful holiday season, filled with health, love, joy and
happiness. Be open to the ways that others celebrate as well. There are
so many things that we can learn from each other.
I hope that you all have a Blessed Yule!
Much Love and Many Blessings,

Blessings for Yule and the Winter Solstice!
Merry Meet and Good Morning! Today is Sunday, December 21, 2025. The Sun influences our energy on Sunday. The Sun brings us positive energy and clarity and you will find that it can be quite helpful to spend a bit of time working with this energy today. It’s a powerful day for healing and taking some time to reset your energy. Time spent in meditation or in quiet thought can help to bring you clarity. It’s a good day to look at what you have coming up in the coming days and to make plans for the things that you want to do and how to make them happen. If you are working with energy today it’s a great day to spend some extra time cleansing, grounding, shielding or working with healing energy. It’s also a good day to work with energy that involves pursuing goals. Today is a great day to work with Sunstone or Topaz.
Our Moon today is Waxing, First Quarter with 2% visibility. We are currently in the first Quarter of the Moon known as our Waxing Crescent Moon. We recently celebrated our New Moon and the illuminated part of the Moon is increasing. As the light of the moon increases know that it will also help to illuminate things in your life. This is a great time to seek information or to work on growing things that you wish to see happen in your life. Set intentions for what you want to work on and try to take steps towards them each day. It’s also a great time to make sure that you are on a path that truly aligns with what you want in your life. When looking to the Goddess you will find that often this lunar phase is compared to the Maiden Goddess. The Goddess in her Maiden aspect brings us energy of new beginnings. She reminds you to take time to play and to do those things that make you smile and bring you happiness. It’s a great time to allow yourself extra time to dream and to spend time being creative.
I hope that you have an amazingly magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
Jasmeine Moonsong
