Episode Description
This bonus episode explores the deep history and lore of Yule, tracing ancient customs like the Yule Log and Evergreens to the astronomical reality of the Winter Solstice and the celebrations of modern Pagans. For the atheist witch, Yule is a practice of psychological resilience, embracing necessary rest (which is supported by the scientific understanding of the dark time) and setting intentions based on the verifiable, predictable return of the sun.
