Yule (Winter Solstice)
December 21st
It is at
Yule,
that the stirrings of new life begin, and Nature most corresponds
to the dark New Moon. From the Norse countries comes the
celebration of
Yule,
or
Winter Solstice,
as the rebirth of the Sun, after the longest night of the year.
In later times, this highly popular festival became Christianized
as Christmas, the birth of the Son. The infant Son of the Goddess,
though, like all newborns, shows only potential. We cannot yet
see what his true individuality will be, any more than we can
know for sure what lies ahead for the new year to come.
