Yule is Winter Solstice and is the moment of the longest night on the Wheel. It is the moment when the earth begins to tip back towards the light: the dark gives birth to the light.

With the birth of the light, we give birth to our own small and precious child within. This is a time of recognition of the small one, recognition of the birth of the spark of life that is within all of us. The seeds of dreaming which were dormant at Samhain are stirring. It is the time of the Crone and the conception of the Maiden.

We remember the Crone Goddess the Cailleach- creatrix and sovereign woman and in the Celtic Tree Ogham: the Elder Tree- the Queen of Trees who brings protection and prosperity.

This Circle is for women only and held on the Zoom platform. There will be sharing in Circle and participation in the mysteries of this Sabbat.
