BACKGROUND ON YULE!

Yule is otherwise known as the Winter Solstice, having shortest day/longest night of the year, and even though we yet to have our coldest months of July and August, the Sun steadily grows stronger with each passing day. Life is once again stirring in the ground, and we look forward to the day when the frosts are gone - though in weird and wonderful Cape Town this is a time or rain and flowering?

This is the time that the Goddess becomes mother again as she gives birth to her Beltane Baby, thus associated as a fertility ritual with the continuation of life. The night belongs to the Goddess, and is a night of waiting, through Her pregnancy, for the Child of Promise.

SO WHAT IS YULE ABOUT? It is a time to let go of all fears, all doubts, all outworn ideas, all projects finished, anything in our lives that holds us away from the new beginnings that will lead to new growth. It is a time to let go of the past and walk toward the light.
On this the longest night, we renew and rebirth our bodies and spirit self.
From the Darknes comes Light.
