As another Winter Solstice rolls by, I want to wish you all a Good Yule and good new year!
If you are new to Yule, or to Asatru, you can read more from my previous Yule posts.
May the Gods guide you to where you need to be.

This is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year. What does that mean for those of us who know the Old Gods? To us, this is Mother Night.

Today is the Winter Solstice, that shortest of days and longest of nights. It is also the traditional start of Yule. It is time to think about the previous year and contemplate where to go in the next.
If your climate is amenable to such things, the Winter Solstice happens in winter and most of nature looks a bit dead. We know that it is not dead, of course, but is merely sleeping. Most of the plants and animals entered a dormant state or shuffled off to warmer climes. There, they wait.
