YULE PUBLIC RITUAL

The Winter Solstice is the shortest day, and longest night of the year, and is the traditional time to celebrate the truly important things in life: your family, your children, your home and looking forward to a wonderful year to come.
Come out and celebrate Family and Community with us!
The Temple of the Green Cauldron will be celebrating Yule on Saturday December 17th. We will be having our ritual at the Harewood Activity Centre, doors to open at 6:30.
As this is a time about Family, we would like to invite you to bring Friends and Family with you, and celebrate with us. We will have our regular potluck following the ritual, and ask that you bring an appy, or main course to share with everyone, if you are able.
The Yule season is full of magic, much of it focusing on rebirth and renewal, as the sun makes its way back to the earth. Yule celebrates the birth of the Sun God - child of the Goddess in the Pagan belief system. Yule is primarily the celebration of the rebirth of the Sun. Many people associate the Winter Solstice, or winter itself with death, as it is the season in which nature is dormant, and in which many plants die off and crops are scarce. Conversely, the Winter Solstice, although it is the longest night, (boasting more than 12 hours of darkness), it is also the turning point of the year, as following this night the sun grows stronger in the sky, and the days become gradually longer once more. Thus the Winter Solstice is also a celebration of rebirth, and there are many traditions that stem from this perspective. Focus on this time of new beginnings with your magical workings!
