The Divine Yule ceremony is a sacred and ancient tradition that is celebrated by many different cultures around the world. It is a time to honor the return of the light, the winter solstice, and the rebirth of the sun. The ceremony typically takes place on the longest night of the year, usually around December 21st. During the ceremony, participants gather together in a sacred space, often outdoors or in a specially designated area. The ceremony is led by a spiritual leader or priestess/priest who guides the group through various rituals and prayers. The purpose of the ceremony is to welcome the return of the sun and to invoke blessings and abundance for the year ahead.
Saint or Pagan God, Santa Claus embodies the spirit of Christmas and Yuletide. He brings hope and joy during the longest nights of winter with gifts that are both physical and spiritual. He fills our stockings and brings us presents that are given to us with love and in the spirit of peace. He fills our hearts with joy and goodwill towards all. As Santa rides across the sky in his chariot pulled by reindeer, he brings hope and joy to the world and heralds the birth of the Divine Sun Child of the Pagans and the Divine Son of the Christians.

Yule is celebrated at the Midwinter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. The word Yule comes from the Germanic “Jul” and means “Wheel.” At Yule, we celebrate winter and the rebirth of the Sun. At Samhain, the Goddess followed the God into the Underworld and the Earth began its long winter slumber. As the Wheel turns to Yule, the Goddess is with child and gives birth to the tiny Oak King, God of the waxing Sun. The Old God or Holly King is defeated and returns to the Underworld to rest until Summer Solstice when he will again be reborn as Lord of the waning Sun.
At Yule, we mourn the passing of the Old God who is the Lord of Winter. This ancient God has many names besides the Holly King, including Cernunnos, Odin, Harlequin, and of course Santa Claus. This God is portrayed as an old man, majestic and often jolly. Sometimes He is shown as a King in ermine-trimmed robes, other times He is shown as a Jester and called the King of Fools. The Old God is the Lord of Death and of the Spirit World and magic. He is the God of the forest, of animals, and of the hunt. Often He is shown with antlers or horns.
Yule is also a celebration of the birth of the Sun King and nature’s renewal. We practice sympathetic magick by lighting fires or candles to encourage the sun to grow stronger. This is a time of new beginnings both physically and spiritually, the wheel of the year has made a complete circle. The darkest night of winter is a good time for self-examination and discovering the “seeds” of spiritual growth or hindrance which are lying dormant within us. The Winter Solstice is the turning point in the natural cycle of the year, this darkest night in all the year is followed by a day that will dawn just a little earlier!
Altar and ritual space decorations include evergreen wreaths and boughs, pine cones, red and green candles, pine-scented incense and essential oils of myrrh and frankincense. Peppermint leaf and mistletoe are the herbs of Yule. The colour scheme of white and gold and Solar images are also very appropriate.
The highlight of the ceremony is the lighting of the yule log. The yule log is a large piece of wood that is traditionally burned during the winter solstice. It symbolizes the return of the sun and the triumph of light over darkness. As the log is lit, participants often sing or chant traditional songs or incantations. Once the log is burning, participants may engage in various activities to celebrate the yule. This can include dancing, storytelling, or sharing a festive meal together. The focus is on community and connection, as well as gratitude for the blessings of the past year and hopes for the future. The Divine Yule ceremony is a time of spiritual reflection and renewal. It is a time to honor the cycles of nature and recognize the interconnectedness of all beings. Whether celebrated as a solitary practice or in a group setting, the ceremony serves as a reminder of the power of light and the potential for growth and transformation..

I was really disappointed with the Divine Yule Ceremony. The whole event felt disorganized and lacked any real substance. The performances were subpar, and it seemed like the organizers didn't put much effort into planning. The supposed "grand finale" was a complete letdown and left me feeling underwhelmed. I would not recommend attending this event if you're looking for a memorable and enjoyable Yule celebration.

I had high expectations for the Divine Yule Ceremony, but unfortunately, it fell short. The event had some potential, but in execution, it felt lackluster. The atmosphere was lacking, and the decoration was minimal, which didn't create a festive ambiance. The performances were mediocre at best, and it seemed like the artists weren't properly rehearsed. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied and wishing I had spent my time and money on a more enjoyable Yule celebration.

I attended the Divine Yule Ceremony with my family, and we were all disappointed. The event seemed rushed and poorly organized. The performances lacked creativity and failed to captivate the audience. The location was cramped, and it was difficult to find a decent view of the stage. The only redeeming factor was the friendly staff, but that alone couldn't save the overall experience. I wouldn't recommend this event if you're looking for an engaging and memorable Yule celebration.
