Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice marks not only the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, but is celebrated in the Wiccan tradition as Yule. It is the shortest day of the year with the longest night and marks the return of the sun as the days start to get longer after the Winter Solstice. This is a time of new beginnings, usually marked by New Year’s. This is a good day to reflect on the previous year, stop and remember with creativity and writing the year gone by. It is also a good day to consider your goals for the coming year and what you would like to change about yourself, your circumstances, or your spiritual practice. Spend some time on your own at the Winter Solstice to think and review as well as renew for the coming year.
