Yule coincides closely with the Christian Christmas celebration and it also falls on the date that the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn. The sun is at its most southeastern point over the Tropic of Capricorn in the northern hemisphere and has no apparent northward or southward motion.
What is Yule?
Yule is a sabbat represents the rebirth of light. Here, on the longest night of the year, the Goddess gives birth to the Sun child and hope for new light is reborn. Yule is a time of awakening to new goals and leaving old regrets behind. This day marks the vanquishing of the Holly King, God of the waning year, by the Oak King, God of the waxing year.
Since it appears that the sun's light is growing as each day passes after this one, this holiday is celebrated as the birth of the sun. The Sun is considered to represent the Male Divinity in many Pagan Traditions and so this time is celebrated as the "return of the Sun God" where He is reborn of the Goddess.
~*~ Winter Solstice, Yule & Christmas ~*~
The Winter Solstice had been associated with the birth of a "Divine King" long before the rise of Christianity. Yule is about renewal, re-birth, returning hope and life. It has never truly changed its meaning, as many of the Pagan Gods and Heroes were born at this time: Apollo, Dionysus, Horus, Mithra, and so on. Jesus, Son of God/Sun God is not alone in this time of renewal. In this instance the Christian church decided to celebrate the birth of their savior at the time the pagans celebrated a festival that focused upon the rebirth of the "Sun God." Thus they have made it the birthday of their "Son of God". Yule and Christmas are not so very different in reality. Both celebrate the arrival of the sun/son or, as Christ has been called, the light of the world.
Emperor Aurelian established December 25 as the birthday of the "Invincible Sun" in the third century as part of the Roman Winter Solstice celebrations. Shortly thereafter, in 273, the Christian church selected this day to represent the birthday of Jesus, and by 336, this Roman solar feast day was Christianized. January 6, celebrated as Epiphany in Christendom and linked with the visit of the Magi, was originally an Egyptian date for the Winter Solstice.
Yule Tradition
The Christian tradition of a Christmas tree has its origins in the Pagan Yule celebration. Pagan families would bring a live tree into the home so the wood spirits would have a place to keep warm during the cold winter months. Bells were hung in the limbs so you could tell when a spirit was present. Food and treats were hung on the branches for the spirits to eat and a five pointed star, the pentagram, symbol of the five elements, was placed atop the tree. The colours of the season, red and green, are also of Pagan origin. A solar festival, Yule is celebrated by fire and the use of a Yule log. A piece of the log is saved and kept throughout the year to protect the home. That piece is used to light the next year's log.
>*< Yule Blessings >*<
"Upon the Winter Solstice the longest day of the year,
I celebrate and give thanks with yuletide cheer,
Ancient ones; Solar God and Mother Earth
blessed be now my home and hearth
by luminous candles I caste
and weave this blessing to make it last !"
Merry Meet To All,
I hereby wish everyone, "A Blessed Yule On The Rebirth Of The Sun, A Joyful Winter Solstice With Reunion Of Your Love Ones, A Merry Christmas Blessed with Joy, Health & Abundance!"
