Crafting the Wheel of the Year at Yuletide

Saturday, December 6, 2025
3:00 – 4:30  pm EASTERN US; 8:00 – 9:30 pm UK
Taught via Zoom

Join Deb and Claire as we discuss the second spoke in the Wheel of the Year – Winter Solstice, or Yule. Winter Solstice occurs in the Northern Hemisphere when the sun crosses the Tropic of Capricorn, sometime between December 20 and 22. On this longest night of the year, we honor the gifts the dark time of the year give us, and rejoice in the light that grows daily beginning on the morrow. Yule is a time of celebrating hearth and home, of making merry, and of sharing the bounty of our lives.  The Wheel of the Year is an ever-spinning progression of eight primary holy days in the calendar, four of which are Solar holidays and honor the solstices and spring and autumn equinox.  The other four holidays are referred to as Cross-quarter days, and spin on the wheel alternately between the solstice and equinox days.

In this course you’ll learn:

• What Yule means to us today
• The historical and cultural significance of Samhain
• Symbols, lore, and legends of the holiday and how they came to be
• How the holiday shares symbols and beliefs with many other world cultures and belief systems
• The significance those symbols and what they mean today.
• Ways to create Yule rituals and altars and work with crystals and oils
• How to create Winter Solstice crafts
