The Wheel of the Year · December 20 to 23
Yule
The Winter Solstice
Crystalline · Still
Welcome to the longest night.
Yule asks, what dream will I carry toward the returning light?
From Your Guide to Yule
The night stretches longer than at any other point in the year. The dark is at its fullest, the cold deepening, the land asleep beneath frost or snow. And then the sun, at its very lowest, stands still, and turns, and begins to climb again.

Return of the Light
Yule is the turning at the bottom of the year, the longest night, the moment the sun is reborn and the light begins its long return. These thirteen affirmation cards are small lights to carry through the dark... words to steady you, and to keep faith through the cold months still ahead.
It is on its way to you.

where it sits on the Wheel
Yule lives in the dark months
On the Wheel, Yule is the deep point of the dark months... the arc that opens at Samhain and turns toward the light at Imbolc.
If the dark months are the season you resist, you are what I call a Firekeeper. This is the season you struggle through with sheer willpower and tension, which means it is your medicine.
