Yule, the Winter Solstice is just around the corner.
The winter solstice, the rebirth of the Sun, is an important turning point as it marks the shortest day and longest night. Pagans in the northern hemisphere surround themselves with loved ones and feast on this night, keeping the hearth fires burning bright, surrounded by decorations of evergreens to remind them of the coming season of growth and life. From the ashes of the Yule fire the sun is reborn.
