Getting Centered By Celebrating Yule
Author: Cathrine Suddarth Source: Arizona Daily Star
Title: GETTING CENTERED BY CELEBRATING YULE
Three years ago, my family went through a rough Christmas. But it wasn't so much the family drama we were going through that made it so hard as it was the Christmas season itself.
People I saw on the street were so focused on themselves that they would actually run into each other. They couldn't even pay attention to the simple things in life. Since that Christmas, I'm trying to rebuild and remake myself. That's how I came to celebrate Yule.
Yule is a Wiccan holiday that falls on the winter solstice. And to me, it is more personal and less materialistic than Christmas. Yule is about renewal and rebirth in different forms. Many celebrants perform rituals and tell stories about how Wicca came to be. On Yule, gifts are given, but they're usually different than the gifts people get at Christmas. Instead of that iPod everyone seems to lust for, I would rather get candles, books and herbs.
