Yule is one of the most important holidays celebrated by pagans. It is commonly associated with the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. Yule marks the longest night of the year and symbolizes the return of the sun and the lengthening of days. During Yule, pagans come together to honor the cycles of nature and the changing seasons. It is a time to celebrate rebirth and renewal, as well as to reflect on the year that has passed. Many pagan traditions view the winter solstice as a time of great power and magic.

I can't believe Talisman of Progress isn't in 2X2 either
When in the world are they going to reprint [[Talisman of Progress]]? Both it and [[Talisman of Impulse]] are still the only cards in that cycle that haven't been reprinted, which feels like an incredible mistake. For Impulse, this isn't such a big problem, as it's not all that expensive. Talisman of Progress is another story, though.
At same condition and depending on website, you can buy a copy of every other Talisman for the price of a single Talisman of Progress. On TCGPlayer, I had to go through three pages of listings to find one that was near mint. I don't say this specifically because I need near mint, but to highlight the fact that most stores apparently just don't have any. If you want to go with Card Kingdom, the near mint price is a whopping $19 for a card in a cycle where most others cost less than a dollar. The next most expensive, Talisman of Indulgence, is about a third that price. And website prices are pretty relevant for me, because I cannot find a LGS in my city that even has a copy to begin with. I was able to find one a few months ago, but passed on it because it was a foil they were selling for $50.
Wizards, if you're reading this, are you okay with this situation? You must be, because the other Talismans seem to continually find their way in one of the million precons that have come out. Except Talisman of Progress, which somehow is never in any of the blue/white precons, a color pair that also seems to be highly represented in these precons. And now we've had both a commander specific set and a high value reprint set (which happens to be incredibly focused on commander), neither of which have this card printed in it.
Part of me really wants to end this with a rant about how I would stop spending money on Magic if it were to end up in a Secret Lair before a more accessible reprint product. And I kind of hope people would be able to see why. We have sealed product coming out that costs $400 a box in a time when the top Modern deck can average $1800, along with a general price increase for all sealed product. To be told a card I literally cannot find in a store will cost $30+ with no other avenue to buy it when it's in a cycle of cards that can cost less than $1 would feel like too much.

The log is usually burned for several days, with a piece saved to kindle the next year's Yule fire. Another important element of Yule is the decorating of evergreen trees, which symbolize life in the midst of winter. Pagan traditions often include the hanging of various ornaments and lights on the tree, similar to modern Christmas traditions. Feasting and gift-giving are also common during Yule. The feasts are typically held with loved ones and friends, and traditional foods are often prepared and shared. Gift exchanges are a way to show appreciation for one another and to spread joy and abundance during the holiday season. Overall, Yule is a joyful and festive time for pagans to come together and celebrate the cycles of nature and the return of light. It is a time to honor the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future. Whether through rituals, ceremonies, or simple celebrations, pagans use Yule as a way to connect with nature and celebrate the beauty and magic of the winter season..
Reviews for "Yule: A Time for Reflection and Setting Intentions for the Year Ahead"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars
I was really excited to learn more about the Yule holiday and its origins, but this book left me disappointed. The information provided was very limited and lacked depth. I was hoping for a more in-depth exploration of the holiday's traditions, rituals, and historical significance, but instead, I found myself reading a brief overview with little substance. Additionally, I felt that the writing style was dry and lacked engagement, making it hard for me to connect with the content. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the Yule holiday.
2. John - 3/5 stars
As someone who is new to pagan holidays, I thought this book would be a great introductory read. However, I found it to be a bit scattered and unclear. The author jumped from one topic to another without providing much context or explanation. I was left with more questions than answers. While I appreciated the effort to include some historical background, it lacked depth and felt rushed. If you're already familiar with the Yule holiday and are looking for a quick refresher, this book might be sufficient. But if you're seeking a comprehensive and coherent guide, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The book only scratched the surface of the subject matter, providing basic information that can be easily found with a quick internet search. I was hoping for a more in-depth exploration of the traditions, symbolism, and practices associated with the Yule holiday, but unfortunately, this book fell short. Additionally, I felt that the writing style lacked excitement and failed to capture my interest. Overall, I was left wanting more from this book and would not recommend it to those looking for a thorough understanding of the Yule holiday.
