Yesterday we started talking about the Wheel of the Year holidays. Today I want to continue this topic. The first holiday is Winter Solstice Day or Yule.

This holiday exists in different cultures under different names, because regardless of religious and other preferences, the winter solstice is the winter solstice, believe it or not, but it is a fact that can not be cancelled.

From the position of psychology connected with Wicca (actually I am not a supporter of either 😉 ), in this period the main gender roles are the roles of the birthing woman (Earth) and the newborn (Sun). For women, this is a period when it is good to develop creativity, because the birthing woman should be understood in a broad context, as "the one who creates universes". Therefore, girls, if you have long wanted to try yourself in some creative activity, but all did not dare - the energies of Yule will help you. But for men it is the opposite period when it is necessary to understand that they cannot control absolutely all processes (after all, a newborn baby is a newborn baby.
