Welcome to this Wyrdwayz Yule Special Video. It's cold, it's dark and we're in the midst of a global pandemic and a lockdown. The festivities are over, or so you thought! So, I figured that people could benefit from knowing that the old Germanic festival of Yule or Midwinter actually falls this year on the full moon of 28th January and is a three-day festival for a good crop.
Wicca has placed a festival of the same name on the Winter Solstice, normally around 21st December, but our heathen Germanic ancestors did not follow a solar calendar; this came later with Christianisation. They followed a lunar calendar and placed Yule three full moons after the start of winter.
So, come raise a horn with me in the Mead Hall and find out why we should be celebrating Yule on January 28th. A slight departure from the usual rune videos but I thought it worth sharing.

Please like and subscribe. It is very much appreciated. I am not a historian and everything I bring you is from my own solo studies and my own experiences. It is a passion of mine and I am happy to be sharing the wonderful world of the Pagan Anglo-Saxons with you. I am on a one-woman mission to show that the world of the Pagan Anglo-Saxons was every bit as rich, interesting, and spiritual as the world of the Norse Vikings which tends to get all of the focus these days. I would also like to say, that I am but a student of the Old English language and it is a lifetime's pursuit.
