Yule, also known as the Winter Solstice, is a significant celebration in Wicca. It marks the longest night of the year and the return of the sun, representing the triumph of light over darkness. Yule is typically celebrated around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During the Yule celebration, Wiccans focus on the themes of rebirth, renewal, and the return of light. It is a time to honor the cycles of nature and the changing seasons. Many Wiccans decorate their homes with evergreens, holly, mistletoe, and other symbols of life and fertility.

It is a time of renewal, hope, and looking forward to the brighter days ahead..
