Mystic Monday
Winter Solstice Edition
Yule Blessings All!
Merry Christmas!
Today I have a few things to talk about around the celebrations that are happening this week.
Today is Winter Solstice/Yule a time for celebrating the return of the Sun. The days will start to get a little longer now until Summer Solstice when they start getting shorter again.
On this day the Goddess is blessed with the birth of the Sun God, bringing light back into the darkest time of the year.
Traditionally this is a time of great merrymaking. Celebrations with bonfires and singing were the customs. The Yule log was one of them and is still an important symbol. Yule logs were often brought in the house to burn for many hours but never allowed to burn out naturally as it was thought to be bad luck. It was also bad luck to purchase a Yule log. The log was often decorated before put in the fireplace with a part of last year's log. The Yule log was thought to bring good luck and health to the family. There are many traditions that go along with Yule and some that tie into Christmas I could write for days just on those. I encourage you to look into them as they are very interesting.
Today I encourage you to give your thanks and count your blessings in your life and let go of all the things you think you want or ask for because you think you need them. Enjoy what is in your life and be thankful for those things.
Christmas
This Christmas is the first full moon Christmas since 1977. Chistmas is the time of year that has been way blown out of meaning by the retail people. I could go there and stay on that soap box forever. But let me just say this: Enjoy your family and the peace of the day. No worrying and no stressing. Keep the day simple and as positive as you can. This is the birthday of the Lord. Many blessings to you and your family.
Ok with that said let's get to the full moon. Powerful night. Full moon and the timing of the birth of God. With the light of the world returning it is time to manifest new doors opening and fullfilling projects. I know it is Christmas but remember to do your ritual you will not be disappointed.
Mystic Monday and Thriller Thursday will return shortly after the New Year!
Holiday Blessings All,
Wendy
