The Winter Solstice
Yule takes place on the winter solstice. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. It is the time to celebrate the rebirth of the light after the very darkest part of the year. In neopagan traditions, Yule is when the god, who sacrificed himself at Samhain, has journeyed through the underworld and, in the embrace of the goddess, becomes the child of light.
​
Yule or the winter solstice is also the stage of the Wheel of the Year when the god transforms from the Oak King into the Holly King. He’ll shift back to the Oak King at the summer solstice.The time between Samhain and Yule is one of purging what does not serve you and reflecting on the upcoming year with fresh eyes and hope for new beginnings. Yule is the moment where the energy of the new year rises up.
