Of Winter Solstice~ The longest day of the whole year! Besides lots of Celebrations it will start being lighter each day now. The Giver of life that warmed the Frozen Earth and the Sun King will grant us shorter days... And for that to me is the best Celebration in the world. Happy Winter Solstice to all my dearest Friends and followers Let, There be LIGHT!!!
Yule Winter Solstice is more known in the Northern hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere due to the seasonal differences.
Yule ~ means when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. This is known as Solstice Night ~ the longest night of the Year...
The sun's 'Rebirth' was celebrated with much joy. On this night, our ancestors would celebrate the rebirth of the Oak King, The Sun King, The Giver of Life that warmed the Frozen Earth. And from this day forward - the days would become longer...
For some folks, this is the hardest time of the year. Until it passes the 21 of December when usually the days get shorter and the nights aren't as long either...
I happen to be one of those folks, but that's another tale about me I might tell someday...
Anyway it seems that Bonfires were lit in the fields and crops and trees were 'wassailed' with toasts of spiced cider. Children were escorted from house to house with gifts of clove spiked apples and oranges which were laid in baskets of evergreen boughs and wheat stalks dusted with flour. The apples and oranges represented the sun. The boughs were symbolic of immortality evergreens were sacred to the Celts because they did not "die" thereby representing the eternal aspect of the Divine).The wheat stalks portrayed the harvest and the
flour was accomplishment of triumph, light, and life. Holly and ivy not only decorated the outside, but also the inside of homes in hopes Nature Sprites would come and join the celebration. A sprig of Holly was kept near the door all year long as a constant invitation for good fortune to visit the residents.
Mistletoe was also hung as decoration. It represented the seed of the Divine, and at Midwinter, the Druids would travel deep into the forest to harvest it.
