Yule is the pagan - ancient, ageless, and new - holiday that celebrates the return of longer days. Many cultures celebrate Yule - from ancient Germanic peoples to Celtic Druids. This turning of the wheel of the year also has traditions that may seem familiar for those who celebrate Christmas today.

Ancient teachings from our ancestors - in messages on old artifacts, cave dwellings, and petroglyphs - remind us of the importance of holding the light, especially in these dark times.
During the Yule celebration, we get a better awareness of our Sun. We understand better the turning of seasons and the orbit of our Earth. The winter solstice heralds the rebirth of the Sun - a festival of light, rich in history.

On the Yule holiday, we learn more about our ancestors. Most especially, we also get to understand their activities and the relevance of their actions during the winter periods.
