Pagans worldwide have celebrated the birth of the Sun and Yule for centuries. Christmas will continuously find roots in pagan traditions with Wiccan Yule decorations. This birth of the Sun, as in the star in the sky, will bring us new warmth. Get your Winter Solstice altar ready to reach, pull in and harvest that energy.
Winter solstice altar
Create a Yule altar that symbolises purity, spiritual growth, and development. You can go with different themes; a blank slate is a new beginning. Use the idea of snow colours, white sand or silver items. Hang white snowflakes around your home to keep the spiritual environment clean. The white colour design reflects purification and your fresh start.
You can go with the more Sun filled theme for your winter solstice altar. Use the colours orange, red and yellow to incorporate the Sun’s energy and light that it brings. Hiding gold Suns around your house is a good idea as a tribute.
Use a cloth in a fresh colour to cover your altar. Make a seasonal smudge stick. Bundle herbs together, tie them with string, and let them dry out, ready to be burned later.
Candles for Yule
Yellow candles, gold discs, and any bright and shiny decoration can represent the Sun. Inscribe solar symbols on a large pillar candle and assign it as your Sun candle. Add evergreen sprigs of holly, boughs, a Yule log, and pinecones. Wiccan Yule decorations like Santa Claus, antlers or reindeer mix well with other symbols of fertility.
