    Winter Solstice Ritual
  • This will actually be my first Yule that I will be celebrating. Last year I was learning and I got sick and didnt really get a chance to celebrate it like I wanted to. Now Im all for it. Any great ideas would be appreciated for my real first Yule celebration. 

    Thanks so much

      What i do is the cider blessing and have a kiebasi or ham for dinner the night of yule.all after my ritual. I have a book at home called Anicent ways.iy talks about each sabbat some  great ideas. I will look sone up for you. Thanks for commenting by the way.

    • I have that same book. I just recently bought a Rital almanac book for 2019 it stared with Samhain 2018 and goes all the way to the end of 2019 and it has a bunch of stuff. Some of the rituals in the book doesnt have recipies though. But for Yule im going to make a salmon after the ritual. Since its my first Yule ritual is there one that is easy to go by? The book seems a little too much to start with. 

      I was going to do my offering and blessings and meditation after that I was going to do some Yule Music with singing and dancing and then thank the gods and then have my meal does that sound ok?

      That sounds great . I love that. I also forgot to mention that my daughter sometimes exchange one gift each on the winter solstice. 

    • Thanks for loving my idea. I wish I had done that lkast year I really missed out on a lot of stuff. I don't know what it is about now but Im more confident and feel confident and things. Now I just need to learn to do the craft.

    • My friend I are are doing that. I also would like to do that with my boyfriend. I dont think he would like my exchhaning a gift on that day. hehe

      I like your tradations.  If you have any questions about witchcraft. I am here. I like what you have planned for yule. Welcome back by the way. 

    • Thanks so much. Yeah I will definitly need some help with that area. I have a few books on Wicca spells and then I have that insane 5000 Book of Spells Encyclopedia. oh lord that has some insane stuff some I don't agree or will never ever use. Im a Witch that heals, protects, love, wants to make people and myself happy. I dont like negative energy one bit. Is there a section here for the stuff im looking for?
