[@HearthWitch]

The English Heritage is also doing a livestream from stonehenge this year, if you would like to watch, the link is below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHmkiGVtbquhidE

[@blktauna]

I watch the stone henge and newgrane feeds on mid summer and midwinter. Love being in the comfort of my bed vs in the cold ;-D

[@shitchannel4you156]

Awesome

[@shitchannel4you156]

Ginderbread would be great for me

[@juliereminiec4937]

Would a fire pit be helpful with a Yule observance ?

[@wumbothewombat1280]

I’ll be sure to tune in! Thanks for the link

[@zarmz]

in iran the celebration is called “yalda night” and it dates back to 502 BC, we gather with family to eat pomegranate and read poems from hafez by intuitively opening the book to a page that tells us what to expect during the year ahead or answers the questions we have!

[@nyxs60]

Greetings to you in Iran, happy Yalda night! :)

[@BONKSHLOB]

in denmark we call it jul

[@viktornorris421]

Love your channel and your videos. Thank you so much for all of your hard work to help, teach and inform others. I could also listen to your voice and accent for hours lol In hope you have a Fantastic Yule! Blessed Be 💚

[@julievanarends3702]

This will be the first time I celebrate Yule. I have my traditional Christmas tree up, but I bought some Yule ornaments to add this year. I also have an owl as a tree topper. I set up my Yule altar a few weeks ago. I might start a Yule log this year, but, honestly, the cake sounds like a better option! 😉. I love your channel. I hope you have a wonderful Yule and a Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@urbex_coasters]

I'm fairly new to this. My witch alter for year round is an evergreen. Being a van lifing witch it's just a way to compact everything in terms of bulkyness in my car. Does that mean Yule is technically year round in my case?

[@alternativewitchyunicorn]

I don’t change my alter around much cuz it’s a working altar and I like it to stay gothic and creepy plus I’m obsessed with bast and it’s kind of black cat themed lol not a fan of change to begin with

[@hannahryan3229]

My yule altar always has snow globes because yule I celebrate as the winter solstice and I celebrate Christmas too. Yule was my mom's least favorite sabbath because she had seasonal depression but she kept the season beautifully magical in her own way (like our Christmas pickle tradition or the cookies she'd make). I also put on my tree ornaments in honor of passed on pets and people we love (this includes a taxi for my husband's grandfather who drove one and flamingos for my mom).

[@AllAmericanHomesteaders]

This is my first Yule celebration and I couldn’t be more excited! I am having a bonfire with my fiancé and daughters. Thank you Hearth! Absolutely love your channel!

[@quasi8180]

This is my first yule too I upcycled an old craft paper roll for a yule log. So excited..

[@lightdragon2]

congratulations . This is my 21st

[@rayrayravenclaw4385]

The spices and scents associated with the holidays are so Yule related. Cinnamon, star anise, clove, are all healing and protected herbs.

[@MagicalGirlRose319]

I'm getting ready for Yule but my Catholic family is trying everything to keep me in their faith but I want them to give up in attempting to reconvert me back in the church. I am trying my hardest to educate them about Yule and how it is celebrated before Christians came along and ruined everything for pagans like they always do

[@alexandracenuse8762]

I've been celebrating Yule for about 4 years now, but this is the first year I'm actually connecting with it and understanding what people celebrated. Part of this is because I can finally practice my witchcraft without fear of getting caught, but the other, far more important is that I started having to wake up at 6 and leave the house at 6:45 almost every morning for uni. Let me tell you... walking through the dark 4/5 days a week and feeling like your descending into the underworld will make you appreciate the return of the sun much more (and understand why the people of the past did too).

[@briannaalexis1]

I'm religious but I have a friend who Celebrates yule and I don't want to disrespect him so I want learn all I can ❤

[@judithlashbrook4684]

If you have children and are no longer with the other parent(s), celebrating the winter solstice is an ideal way of sorting out holiday timetables (while also more or less secretly sharing your witchyness with your children!) I gave up christmas years ago so that I could have a lovely solstice with all of my family together! So much better than doing a once every two year thing; especially if you have multiple children with different other parents or if your own parents/parents-in-law are clammering for your time... I thoroughly recommend! it also leaves your 25th free to do what ever you want as you've already had your own celebration! You could volonteer to help people who do miss family at that time of year...

[@aseeyahrhinesmith1413]

Thanks for the ideas. I am a solitary witch so I usually camp outside for 3 days. I have a camp fire, meditate on intentions for the coming year and just enjoy Mother Nature. I like the idea of a yule cake. I'm gluten-free so I would probably have to make my own and of course eat it. You look gorgeous 😍 💗 💖

[@thefox08]

Just wanted to note that your eye shadow looks very cool. ❤️

[@nicolegreen3317]

Agreed! Hearth has real skill with makeup.

[@aliciahammond7912]

I always have limited energy to begin with but I've really leaned into a magical practice this year and have really enjoyed it. I truly appreciate these videos, so many inspired ideas. I've recently thought about baking gingerbread cookies with the leftover molasses from last year and now I'm extra motivated to do so. So fun!! Thank you, I wish you a blessed Yuletide & Winter Solstice ❄️ 🥀🕯

[@nyxs60]

Apart from having flu in 2018, plus visiting the USA in the same year, I have never missed a sabbat since I started this path. So here I am this year laid low again with a damned virus, but have decided to have a smaller ritual in bed. (sadly without incense and candles though I do have Yule oils for the oil diffuser. I’m not going to miss this Winter Solstice!! Happy Yule/Solstice everyone :)

[@dianneosbual2788]

Thanks ❤️ Love watching your lives gave me some great ideas for next Yule ( next year) Here in Australia it is our Litha season Similar to yule but with a drifferance Merry Xmas & Have a great yule xx

[@schuylergeery-zink1923]

(My birthday is on Christmas btw) but I’ve always loved Winter Solstice/winter season! We just bought our first house and with a wood burning stove. I’m so excited to start a Yule Log tradition (the log I choose is sitting next to the stove - she’s beautiful). I’ve also got a sachet of herbs and spices from my massage therapist to go in our stove tea kettle steamer (and her homemade wax candles from her backyard bees)! I’m planning on making a Yule Cake with festive winter flavors depicting the 8 sabbats with powdered sugar and nutmeg on top (use a piece of paper to make a design and sprinkle on top). And a home cooked feast! We just moved here and don’t have a garden yet but we’re excited to get that started in the spring :3 I’ve got mistletoe up and lots of festive decorations. Each year we get an ornament that represents that year so I got us a “new home” one that is very cute… Put a Yule sweater on the dog. Lots of music in my household / I play the banjo and sing so we do carols :) I have also been intentional about thanking the universe/creating and saying a blessing 🥰

[@cwatsoncook1]

I consider myself a Christian witch and am new to this. I have (and have had for years) what I call my “Earth Tree”. It has all brown/beige Earthy decor with white lights as well as Christian symbols.

[@veronicadavanzo2064]

I think that is awesome. I am Pagan, but I can attest that Christianity can bring just as much magic to the table as religions typically associated with magic. Prayer alone can be so powerful and there are stories in my family of answered prayers that are nothing short of incredible. I hate that there tends to be so much animosity between Christians and Pagans. Wishing you the best!

[@skarinblackraven9212]

@@veronicadavanzo2064 This is so true, I love Christian witches. Some of the magic I've seen them use is simply amazing.

[@skarinblackraven9212]

Sounds awesome! I plan to get a tree and do seasonal decor on it and leave it up year round.

[@vernanix6196]

Thank you for sharing. I have struggled to bring balance between being a witch and my Christianity. Blessed be.

[@applegate4138]

You might enjoy a book that I came across last year called, The Path of a Christian Witch by Adelina St. Clair. You may have heard of it already, however I thought I would send you this message if you have not. Blessings

[@lizzieh5284]

Thank you for this. Even when I was a practising Christian I always preferred the decoratiins fron Nature such as pine cones, holly and mistletoe. For the past few years Ive had two owl ornaments nestled in my Christmas tree. I now call it a Yule tree. I feel like ive always preferred Yule to Christmas. For the pst few months Ive been exploring Paganism and Wicca and feel really drawn to it. I think Ive always been a forest witch. I was brought up in an industrial town but always loved the countryside from a young age.Your tree loooks beautiful.

[@Delpuertadecabetha]

very inspiring ideas to celebrate these important hollydays - i like as specially the omen days 🍀

[@orangeblueandlavenda]

I need to clean out my car. Lol im going to decorate for christmas in the back of my car. But im not sure what ill do for garland. I may have to find some free decorations.

[@gypsywolf2061]

Your altar is lovely! I struggled with finding much to put on mine this year (I have a fairly large one) but I have a tea light candle holder in the shape of a big tree where I used red and green candles, a pretty horned goat that came in my witchy sub box, and all green, red, or gold crystals and stones. I am working on making some tree decorations with orange slices and empty Xmas ball decorations that I can fill with herbs with the right intentions. Thanks for all of ur ideas!

[@Fauna-gt5ii]

Thank you so much for so many good ideas!!! I’ve been rewatching your sabbat videos before each one and it’s great to have an update :). Also, your eyeshadow looks amazing x

[@animalinfos4909]

Happy yule solstice

[@kerrygrove5034]

Thank you Hearth for the wonderful ideas for Yule! I'm currently studying Cerridwen because I feel I have been given signs to do so. I have my Yule altar and Christmas decorations ready!

[@artawhirler]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@teresastorms3774]

I am newer in my practice, but I have done a solitary Yule celebration conducted in silence with only candle light. I spend the longest night of the year journaling about what I have accomplished and lessons I have learned. I set intentions for the upcoming year as well. This year I plan on doing the same, with the poppet of myself I made. I think a little tea party sounds like fun! 😊

It's been so long I don't see a hedgehog, not even traces of them! I do leave food for birds. I bought a 1kg pack of seeds for wild birds and I often leave crumbs and other little stuff I have lying around in the kitchen for my feathered neighbours.

[@majesticmoonfire9082]

So the tree was never ment for xmas. It's even in the bible, to "never bring a tree from the woods into your home" this concept was one of the pagan practices tht christianity didnt choose to keep, however clearly wasn't followed. If I remember correctly it's found in the book of Jeremiah. (I'm not christian, I was just forced to learn tht religion as a kid)

[@jadynmclain635]

i absolutely love the way you structure your videos, you present the information in a way that’s very easy to receive🥰thank you very much for what you do

[@blessedbeeapiary8601]

Thank you for all the insight and ideas! I will be hosting my 3rd annual candlelight Yule dinner. I have a few friends and family I share this with, I decorate my table with foraged decor: pine cones, evergreens, & whatever else strikes my fancy. We feast, share goals for the upcoming year, giggle and enjoy each others company!

[@a_8850]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Just what I was looking for beginning my own discovery and celebration of solstice. After 50 years of Christmas, winter solstice feels so fresh and alive, even here in Hawaii.

[@jfe1195]

I like the way you speak. You are serious, and to the point.yet comforting. Winter is serious, like Saturn. But can be beautiful, serene, and necessary.

[@Jeremy0509]

Mistletoe the God killer, just ask Loki. It worked on Balder. Don't worry, Balder will return for Ragnarok.

[@caryj6562]

I'll definitely set up a Yule altar, and our Christmas (Yule) tree is going up this afternoon. I'm also making a wreath, although whether that'll be finished in time I don't know!

[@papisaoco708]

Another great video as always, Hearth. I hope you’re having a blessed holiday season!

[@gerdklingele1229]

Edgard Cayce was telling me,at the moment I wanted to read one of his books:'You don't need to read my books...just listen to my voice.'Me myself,I say:'Still I like Miss Hearthwitch as well ''At the same moment as I was writing those 7 words,I heard Edgard Cayce speak out the same words at the same time as me.

[@mmb196]

Hi guys! Pretty unrelated to the video but I started a new job recently and I’m not liking how things are going. Lots of kinks/ I haven’t really been given a chance to show what I’m capable of. I’m thinking a freezer spell would be okay to “chill out” the tension that’s building, but ideally I’d like something to help it go a little smoother. I plan on doing a luck/ prosperity spell but any other tips would be appreciated! Thanks in advance ❤️

[@OriginalMariAnnaWolf]

I would leave out stuff for nature but.. we have lot rats and cats roaming around --3--" hmm I'm going see grandma so Ig Ima try get some candles there and do candle stuff and practice more energy stuff as I suck X3 For some reason can't feel my energy between my palms as much.. gotta really active now hmm! Like my energy gets weak in those day's and the cold. Might be just me tho.. Thx for ideas! Yule might be my new fav Idk hmm!

[@carolinesuchman9723]

I’m still in the broom closet and I’m having my family over to my house for the first time since moving from Texas to Colorado and having a baby with my partner. I’m still somewhat in the broom closet, though my family isn’t particularly religious anyway. Christmas was always celebrated as a way to bring extended family together growing up, so that much is still the same. My decorations are decidedly woodland themed, and I’ll be honoring the coming light by dressing up the light over our dining table with orange slices and pine cones. I live in the woods so I’ll be collecting pine boughs this week to bring in for greenery and swags and wreaths. I’ll also be stirring lots of love and good intentions into our feast on Xmas eve and Xmas night, and using lots of seasonal ingredients like root veggies. I was on that sourdough train back in 2020, and haven’t made any since having my baby 9 months ago, but I’ve been feeding my starter every day and hope that it is ready and active in time for next weekend. Hope everyone has a warm and bright holiday season!

[@lormoon]

Hello there! I would love to celebrate Yule but I was wondering what am I supposed to do with the altar decoration when the celebration is over. I still have on the summer solstice decorative items on my windowsill... What should I do with them? ... By the way... I could listen to you for hours. Aver thought of reading out loud for us ? 🥰

[@PrepperRapperFairy]

[@ugasougas911]

Hello sister I need your help. A. Someone borrowed my money and don't want to return them B. Have lots of enemies . Can you help?

[@NovaWildwood]

I do something similar to the perpetual yule log ritual, I don't always have a fireplace but I have a home protection candle I take with me from place to place, and whenever it runs down I add the leftover wax to a new candle.

[@yogaby_gab]

yule is the first full moon following the winter solstice, which is 6 jan 2023, my freind studies anglo saxon history , she also is a shamen and witch, i had no idea yule is on the first full moon following winter solstice, it lasts three days. did you know this hearth.

Are there any sibstitutions for dried Orange? As I'm allergic to citrus

[@Roku97]

For my altar I have a traditional Wiccan altar with god and goddess and tools, on the ends of the table I switch out floral arrangements for the holidays… Yule altar is fake poinsettia bundles

[@phoenixliv]

Careful with glass baubles and crystal balls near windows. You can magnify light and start a fire.

[@caitriahaber3204]

An excellent video as always, and also love love love your makeup! What is that lip color?

[@kyratheriverwolf]

I do a couple of older northern traditions such as Saint Nicholas day (Christian name I think but still) and also hanging candles in all windows (LED candles of course) to ward off the darkness. And in the first week of January my family celebrates little Christmas as well.

[@yzythepuffcreamcat2319]

Love your page and how you offer so many wonderful suggestions and alternatives if we are not able to do everything. Will be incorporating these this Yule celebration. I am new to the practice and your such a great teacher. I will indeed need to find a Yule log cake, feed my animals outside and find a hobby!

[@lenninmontiel4539]

I mostly plan on making a big bowl of punch probably spike it up with holiday cheer, but imma make a bonfire, bake some yule log cakes also make some gingerbread men, im still in between of drying oranges or buy them this year since my grandmother passed on Saturday and we used to dry oranges together but now its gonna be different

[@linseyspolidoro5122]

I handmade about 80% of my gifts, knit socks, hats, sweaters, etc. I feel like it helps me better connect with the “giving spirit” to put my physical labor into a gift rather than buying it for my loved ones. I know this isn’t the case for everyone but luckily my family and my husbands family really appreciates the time and effort that goes into that. Also I have a huge family so we always have done a yankee swap for the adults and have designated gift giving to the children. It definitely minimizes the stress of getting like 28 different family members gifts.
