92:Yule Magic, Solstice Traditions, and Christmas Cryptids
About this episode
The longest night of the year is upon us, and the witches of Back on the Broomstick are here to guide you through the magic of Yule and Winter Solstice traditions! In this festive and witchy episode, Laylla and Chelle celebrate the season of light returning by sharing their favorite Solstice practices, cozy rituals, and ways to infuse your home and winter celebrations with magic.
Learn about the ancient Nordic practice of Sunwait, where witches honor the sun’s slow return leading up to Yule. Get inspired by Laylla's beautiful Solstice Candle Ritual, a simple yet powerful way to embrace the light even on the darkest night.
Stir up some seasonal enchantment with simmer pots to fill your home with warmth, abundance, and protection. And head off into the shadowy world of Christmas Cryptids, like the Icelandic Yule Cat and Krampus, to uncover the darker, mischievous side of holiday lore.
Whether you're lighting candles, honoring the cycles of the sun, or simply looking for ways to add a little witchy sparkle to your winter, this episode has everything you need to make your Solstice season magical, meaningful, and just the right amount of spooky.
Join us as we embrace the coziness of Yule, connect with ancient traditions, and celebrate the return of the light. Merry Solstice and Blessed Yule!
