Yule Magic Blog Party

Welcome Blog Party People!  Many blessings to you and yours through this season and many thanks to Sally of The Village Witch for hosting.

My favorite part of Yule is what we, as modern pagans, rarely get to do... just sit and enjoy the silence of the season.  Yule is the quiet time of the growing earth and, for me, a time to sit in silence and breath before I have to come to life again, just as the earth does.

So my gift to you all is permission to STOP, go outside, look around you and just breath in the stillness.

Blessed Yule and all Hail the re-birth of the Sun.

WINTER WONDER by Esther Remmington

** Much thanks to Ms. Remmington for agreeing to share this beautiful image with all of us!.


(NOW CLOSED)
As an extra Yule Gift I would like to offer three Blog Party Members a thought from the Goddesses.
 All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment telling me which Yule Magic Blog Party gift was your favorite (the list can be found here).  Three winners will be picked (using random.org) in one week (December 28th) and each will receive one three card Goddess Speaks reading.

Happy Yule and best of luck!

    Thanks Kat, for the reminder to slow down and observe the world around us. I think we can't hear that too many times during the holiday season. And thank you also for sharing that beautiful Winter Wonder picture - it's inspiring!

    Blessed Yule!

    Thanks for sharing the wonderful art work and the reminder for us to stop and enjoy the moment, it passed all to quickly we should breath it in deeply and help the calm to spread.

    That is probably my favorite part of the Yule season is listening to the quiet of the Earth, and feeling the cold air crisply enter your lungs. I hope you have a very blessed Yule. BB, Meadow

    i am so late that it is ridiculous, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing your bit about your favorite tradition. I love the quiet of winter, too. It feels like we should see (maybe read) and ponder about life and nature.

    And Ms. Remmington's image made my heart skip a beat.
