Ah, totally missed this thread, drat! Oh well, I'm late, but hope everyone had a great Yule.
Blessed be!
I think we should make an official pagan thread, don't you? I'm so so happy I found others on this forum!

I like to light a candle to chase back the Darkness.. We also burn a yule log that represents the Maiden(white candle) Mother(red candle) Crone(Black Candl. Then decorate with ribbons and holly and evergreens , after burning spread ashes in the home for protection.. Also I like to make Wassail which is a very yummy spiced wine.. If we have time I like to make sun cakes to welcome back The Light ( The God) ... We also do gifts for luck, prosperity, protection (usually we pass on something that we hold dear to us ) Then divination with any number of items( pendulum, egg roll , smoke , water , tarot... To me its all about making it thru the Darkness of winter and also Mourning for The goddess who has to stay in the underworld for 6 months of the year... I also like to do Sun crafts and Have also done a new Yule Log to sit on the hearth (for protection) for next year...
Sorry kind of a jumble of info .. and each Pagan is gonna do it a lil different but thats fine as we are only doing what is right for us..
