mirror the Earth as she lies quiet, waiting for the return of warm days. We gather around yule fires and perform rituals to lure back the sun. Drinking wassail, singing songs and exchanging gifts, some of us tell stories of the longest night.

Stories of new love and old magick.

Stories of the Holly King and his fight for the season.

Of death and lives well lived.

Of succumbing to the most feral parts of ourselves.

Of the Wild Hunt, and the wrath of Perchta.

And of fey magicks and sacrifices made for love.

Light a candle and bundle up. Within these pages you will find what you need for a hale and hearty Yule, a reconciliation with the shadows and a joyful return to the light.
