Yule Ball- Many Paths, One Forest

We'll have space for about 8 vendors and will be charging $10 for guests, to cover costs and raise money for other events.

Yule, celebrated by many traditions including Norse Paganism, Druidry, and Wicca, marks the rebirth of the Sun and the return of longer days. For Norse Pagans, this was a time to honor the god Balder and celebrate with feasting, wassailing, and lighting Yule logs to symbolize light overcoming darkness. In Druidry, the Winter Solstice is a sacred moment to honor the Sun’s return and reflect on the cycle of death and rebirth. Many contemporary Pagans incorporate elements of these traditions, such as bringing evergreens indoors, lighting candles, and exchanging gifts as symbols of hope and renewal.

Yule is also tied to Christmas customs in many Western cultures, with traditions like decorating trees and feasting originating from Pagan celebrations. Some Heathen practices include honoring ancestors through offerings at the altar or around the hearth, emphasizing the connection between family and community during this season. Whether through meditative rituals, storytelling, or symbolic feasts, Yule invites reflection on the past year and a welcoming of new beginnings.

RiverSong a Coven in the region will be performing ritual.
