🎄🕯Simple Solitary Spells for Yule🕯🎄 (Patreon)

Yule is from December 21st until January 1st. December 21st, the Winter Solstice, is also the longest night of the year. Here is a solitary purification spell you can do!

“The Sun (for the Northern Hemisphere) enters his most dark place, and symbolically dies with the old year and rises anew with the New Year. The Sun will come out of the Darkness and start to grow His Divine Light, calling us to abandon the Darkness within us and embrace the Light gaining hope from the coming Summer. Therefore Yule is a great time to purify ourselves, to get rid of our darkness and everything spiritual or material that holds us back and start our new, better and more brilliant lives and our path in achieving our goals.”

So here is a simple spell calling upon the Sun to help us purify ourselves and homes. Perform this spell on Yule’s Eve (or New Year’s Eve, or on the 13th of January).

The Purification Spell

At about Sun-setting hour light a tea-light candle, or an oil lamp, or a butter lamp in each room of your home, including the bathrooms. On lighting each candle/lamp say:

“I call upon the setting Sun to set his sight here, and as he leaves this time and place may He takes every impurity from here”.

Now, keep in mind that at this evening the Sun sets leaving this place and this time for a new time will be born on the rise of the New Year.

After lighting the candles/lamps in every room go to your bedroom sit comfortably on your bed. Don’t lie in it, just sit on it. Perform the balancing breathing exercise. Then light a candle/lamp in your solar plexus. That means imagine a candle/lamp inside your body in the area of your solar plexus. Do not literally light a candle on your body. Then say mentally:

“I call upon the setting Sun to set his sight in me, and as he leaves this place and time may He take every impurity from me and purify me”

Now feel the Sun’s power removing any and every impurity from inside you, and purifying you. Give some time to this procedure and do not rush it. When you feel is done, open your eyes and if possible face the Sun (if this is not possible face West and mentally see the setting Sun) and say:

“Thank you and Goodbye!”

Simple Solitary Yule Ritual

Here is a very simple solitary Yule ritual! This ritual is by Kate West, which is found in The Real Witch's Handbook. The main themes of this sabbat are the rebirth of the Sun, the start of the days of increasing light and the rise of the Oak King.

The simplest way to celebrate Yule is to rise before dawn to greet the rising Sun. Many diaries and almanacs will give the time of the rising and setting of the Sun, and for that matter, the Moon. If you live near the sea, tide-tables will perform the same function. If it is possible, go out, preferably to a high place, to watch the Sun rise. Alternatively, choose a window facing the direction of Sunrise. As before, call upon the elements, the Goddess and God to be with you. As the Sun rises above the horizon, give thanks for the return of the light and warmth that it brings.

This is the very beginning of the return of new life to the land, the spark of light which brings promise with it. As a time beginnings it is also a time to reflect upon any new starts you may wish to make and perhaps dedicate them to the returning Sun. If you are outside, look around you for a stone, pebble or twig – you are sure to see something which catches your eye – and take this as a reminder of the promise you have decided to make.
