YULE WINTER SOLSTICE Notebook

Yule is celebrated at the Midwinter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. At Yule we celebrate winter, and the rebirth of the Sun. As the Wheel turns to Yule, the Goddess is with child and gives birth to the tiny Oak King, God of the waxing Sun. The Old God or Holly King is defeated and returns to the Underworld to rest until Summer Solstice when he will again be reborn as Lord of the waning Sun.
