The History of the Winter Solstice & Yule: From Ancient Traditions to Modern Awakening

Ilena Brigid

In this episode, we travel back through time to uncover the origins of Winter Solstice and Yule — tracing their roots from ancient civilizations to today’s spiritual revival. We explore how our ancestors celebrated the longest night of the year, honoring the return of the Sun through ritual, storytelling, firelight, feasting, and deep connection to the cycles of Nature.

This episode you listeners not just to learn the history — but to remember it. To reclaim the wisdom woven through the darkest nights and recognize that Yule is not just a celebration of light’s return…
 

It is a reverence for the darkness that sustains it.
