BTW 56: What You Need To Know About Winter Solstice
57 min •
17 december 2021
Welcome to Season 5 of Between the Worlds, in this episode we go deep into Winter Solstice, otherwise known as Yule, the witches’ celebration of the darkness. Winter Solstice is the holiday where the new and old meet. It’s both the holiday of the Ancient Crone, and the holiday that celebrates the conception and the birth of the divine child, the rebirth of the sun.
We’ll be talking about the astrology of the season, the mytho-poetics of the Yule, tarot correspondences, and rituals you can do to make sure your longest night a magical one.

The chant goes: "_ is lost to the night. _ is lost to the night... to fall and rise again....to die and be reborn. What more must we lose to the night? ... The light was born, And the light has died. I surrender this year to the night." (If you like this chant we highly recommend grabbing a copy of this book.
