Yule

In the Southern Hemisphere, Yule is a midwinter festival celebrated around June 21st, coinciding with the winter solstice.
This ancient tradition marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, symbolising the rebirth of the sun and the return of longer days.
Yule is often associated with various customs, including feasting, lighting fires, and decorating with evergreens, which represent enduring life during the cold season.
It is a time for reflection, renewal, and celebrating the light amid the darkest period of the year.

Ways to celebrate the change of season:

• Make a wreath for your front door
• Drink mulled wine or make a Yule simmer pot

• Light a bonfire for a cleansing and release ritual
