Today is Yule. It is celebrated on the Winter Solstice which is the longest night of the year, but after this night the nights will start to get shorter and days longer. It is a celebration of the rebirth of the Sun.
Ancient people were hunters and farmers and spent most of their time outdoors. The seasons and weather played a very important part in their lives. Because of this many ancient people had a great reverence for and worshipped the Sun. The Norsemen saw the sun as a wheel that changed the seasons. It was from the word for wheel we get the word Yule, houl or Jol.
Every 6 months there is a Solstice. On the Summer Solstice the longest day of the year and shortest night, the Waning Sun takes control of the skies and the days get shorter and nights get longer, the cold starts to set in and vegetation on the earth begins to die. On the Winter Solstice (Yule) the Waxing Sun takes over and the nights start to get shorter and the days longer, it is a sign that Spring is only a few months away where life will begin anew and the earth will start to blossom and bloom.
On Yule we celebrate the return of the Waxing Sun. In Wicca it is birth of the Sun God who has many names, Cernunnos, Pan, The Oak King, Apollo, Sol, Freyr, Horus, Mithras, The Horned God, The Green Man, Lord Of Light and more. The Goddess gives birth to him on this night, by doing this she sacrifices herself to give life to the Lord Of Light to ensure the earths survival.
In ancient tradition Yule was celebrated with a large fire where townsfolk and villagers would dedicate it to the Sun God. They would fill their home with evergreens and an evergreen tree to show that even though the land is barren and dead, life is still flourishing, They would decorate the tree and their home with shiny objects to encourage The Sun God to shine.
We use holly and mistletoe on Yule as the plants flourish in the Winter, we use them as symbols of the fertility of the God and Goddess. The red berries of the holly represent the blood of the Goddess and the white berries of mistletoe represent the semen of the God to ensure a healthy Spring and harvest to come.
Fill your Yule altar with fruit, nuts and winter seasonal fare such as fallen leaves, fallen tree branches, acorns, evergreens and also anything bright and shining. Light yellow, green, red, white or orange candles to ensure a good year and honour the season. make an offering of wine, grapes, juniper berries, apples, nutmeg, cinnamon or cloves to the Gods to honour them and make a wish for a happy New Year.
The Winter Solstice has been celebrated by many ancient cultures one of the most famous being Saturnalia. The ancient Romans held a festival to celebrate the rebirth of the year. Saturnalia ran for seven days from the 17th - 23rd of December. It was a time when the ordinary rules were turned upside down. Men dressed as women and masters dressed as servants, the servants were given lavish gifts and their masters made them a big feast. The festival also involved decorating houses with greenery, lighting candles, holding processions and giving presents. A Saturnalia Tree would be the centre piece of every home.
Yule is a celebration of light and of the Sun and it's life giving properties upon the earth. It is a time to rejoice and to be thankful for all we have and to gather strength for the New Year. It is a time to contemplate on the year that has gone and look to the future.
The Winter Solstice falls on the longest night of the year (this can fall from between (20th - 23rd December) and was celebrated in Britain over 10,000 years before the arrival of Christianity. The Druids (Celtic priests) would cut the mistletoe that grew on the oak tree and give it as a blessing. Oaks were seen as sacred and the winter fruit of the mistletoe was a symbol of life in the dark winter months. The Pagan celebration of Winter Solstice (also known as Yule) is one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world.
It was also the Druids who began the tradition of the yule log. The Celts thought that the sun stood still for twelve days in the middle of winter and during this time a log was lit to conquer the darkness, banish evil spirits and bring luck for the coming year. To make a Yule log, cut a log into 12 pieces (each piece represents the 12 months of the year to come) and burn a piece every day for 12 days, with each piece burned make a wish for the coming new year. This is where we get the term 12 days of Christmas.
Many of the Yule customs are still followed today by Pagan and non-Pagans. They have been incorporated into the Christian and secular celebrations of Christmas.
Today we welcome back the Lord of Light. Blessed Yule to all.

Collection of Nick Robles Nightcrawler, for…uhh…art reasons.
Harry x Uma x Gil Headcanons
+ They are protective af.
+ Really, don’t mess with one of them if you’re not ready to deal with the other two.
+ Back on the isle, they used to sleep with Uma in Captain’s Quarters, and she would sleep in the middle of them.
+ But, sometimes Gil had a lot of nightmares, so they would switch places to make him feel safe.
+ So, when they went to Auradon (only after Ben tell them that the rest of the crew could go too), and Ben told them that Harry and Gil would share a room and Uma would stay in another one, Uma and Harry got angry while Gil was confused.
“What do you mean Uma’s not staying with us?”
“Harry, these are the rules. Boys and girls stay in opposite rooms.”
“Why?” - Gil asked and Ben didn’t know how to explain it to him - “We always stay together, right?”
“Sure thing, Gil.” - Uma answered, trying hard not to lose her temper - “I don’t care about your stupid rules Beastie-Boy, I’m staying with them.”
+ Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos were there too, but none of them could convince the Sea Three to do otherwise. So that took them into a very long conversation with Fairy Godmother, who took Uma to her room even with the three protesting.
+ Uma didn’t have a roomate. No girl wanted to room with her, and she was fine with that.
+ Uma and Gil had a very serious conversation with Ben explaining why he or anyone would never try to take Harry’s hook away from him. Fairy Godmother spelled the hook, so Harry couldn’t use to hurt anyone but could walk with it.
+ In their first night, Harry couldn’t sleep. He was trying to calm Gil down, who was too tired and slept quickly, but woke up sweating after a nightmare of his father pointing his hunting gun to him. So Harry decided that those rules were too stupid and they needed Uma.
+ They walked to her room, only to find her having another panic attack after dream memories of her mother wrapping her tentacles around her neck, almost hanging her; with the way she forced her to work, sometimes without any rest and the way she was bullied for years.
+ Harry and Gil pulled her into a hug, Gil letting her cry on his chest and Harry whispering to her that everything was fine, telling her to breathe, until she was fine. Or as fine as she could be after that. But they stayed with her.
+ After a long hour, Uma and Gil went back to sleep. Harry, instead, kept his eyes on them. He had his own issues, but he saved them for himself. He had to make sure that they were safe.
+ When was almost morning, he allowed himself to take a quick nap and it was when Fairy Godmother entered the room with the Core Four, and started to scold them.
+ Harry got pissed and started to scream what had happened to Uma and Gil during the night, telling her that their stupid rules wouldn’t make his friends feel bad again.
+ Uma ran her fingers through his hair to make him calm down and he practically melted in her touch.
+ Let’s just say that now they are allowed to sleep in each other’s rooms and they do it with pleasure.
+ Uma was finally able to take that smell of shrimp out off her hair. Harry and Gil kinda miss it, but she still has the smell of the sea breeze that they just love.
+ They have a bunch of matching tattoos that Harry did it.
+ Uma won’t admit it, but she’s the most jealous of them. She just can’t stand those Auradon brats flirting with her boys.
+ Harry is very jealous too, but instead of yell at them (like Uma does), he scares them in a way that he makes sure they’ll never forget.
+ Gil never notices when someone’s flirting with him because he’s too busy being in love with Uma and Harry.
+ Harry hates go to school every single day; Gil doesn’t mind but he hates when he has to read out loud because he does it really slowly and some people laugh; Uma kinda likes it, because sometimes her mother forbade her to go to school to work in the chip shop, but sometimes, school really lets her stressed.
+ Uma started to help Gil with reading and writing, and Harry with counting. But that didn’t mean that she had stopped giving them “a little help” during tests.
+ The teachers ended up discovering that she’s really, really smart, so she started taking advanced classes with Evie, Carlos and Doug.
+ Harry and Gil were absolutely proud of her. And she was proud of herself. Her mother was wrong, she wasn’t a dumb useless girl, and she would never be.
+ It was a little awkward in the start. She still had her issues with Mal that wound’t disappear so soon. So, she sat alone and decided to just pay attention and pretend they weren’t there.
+ They could finally show affection, and it was very confusing for everyone when they saw Uma saying goodbye to them kissing each one on the lips before going to her class. And even more when Harry did the same with Gil.
+ People started telling rumors about them until Uma decided she was done with that. They started to walk holding hands and kissing more.
+ One day, Chad asked what was going on between them and Gil was the one who answered.
“We’re, how do you say here? Dating?”
“That’s not allowed! One person can’t love two people the same way!”
“I thought you guys believed in true love… How sad.” - Gil said and walked away.
+ Don’t you dare say that one of them will be left behind someday. You will be dead.
+ Harry is not the only one who loves when Uma pets his hair. Gil loves it too, especially when he’s sleepy or sad.
+ Cuddles.
+ Harry loves to give them nicknames. For Uma: love, sea goddess, darling / For Gil: pretty boy, sunshine, goldilocks. And a lot more.
+ Uma used to wake up very early to work, and as old habits die hard, she still does. But now, she just watches her boys sleeping.
+ They have these days when they need to stay in the room, because their memories still hurt them. Yes, they cry somtimes. But luckly they are there for each other.
