As the nights grow long and the sun begins its slow return, Yule arrives, a sacred turning point of warmth, rest, and renewal. In this episode we continue our Wheel of the Year series with a slightly chaotic dive into Yule, the winter solstice festival behind so many modern holiday traditions. 

We explore its roots as a fire festival, the story of the Oak and Holly Kings, and simple, low-effort ways to celebrate the season, from crafting a Yule log to adding intention to your gift wrapping. We also chat about blending Christmas, Hanukkah, and Yule traditions, embracing rest as resistance, and finding everyday magic in the stillness of winter.

Whether you’re witch-curious or walking the Wheel year after year, this episode will help you honor Yule with humor, heart, and a little sparkle of science-meets-spirit curiosity.
