I attended a Solstice service at a local Unitarian Universalist Church. It was very well presented. The music was lovely. Here is something similar to what a few of the songs sounded like. It was deeply moving. I am reclaiming the pagan part of Christianity and of my heritage. Christmas would be less meaningful without it's pagan element.
A belated Merry Yule and Happy Winter Solstice everyone.
This year was just indoors with candles, soft pagan music, diy herb biscuits and a diy wax melt with spices cloves, cinnamon. dried lemon peel and star anise from my kitchen on top of oil burner au bain marie Yule mix added from garden pine and fir needles and a few drops orange essential oil.
Some years is fire outside in my garden on patio area in my firebasket with 7 dried woods from my garden trees. And my two outdoors standing incense burners next to it , burn old faded potpourri and herbs in one and a dried mugwort from my garden in other.

Sounds like a wonderful tradition. Merry Yule to you. May the new light bring you joy.

I love the winder solstice! Even though it's the longest night of the year, it means that it's going to get a whole lot better before it gets worse again!
