I light 4 candles from Solstice until the New Year for each of my Grandsons. And do protection rituals with Lilith for them throughout the season and for the new year coming up!!
This is what the wife and I are doing with a friend

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?
