Hi Witches

Join me on this Yule special looking at the magickal properties and folklore of holly and how and why you might wish to work with it in spell and ritual work. We also talk about the holly king, yule recipes, rituals and a yule tarot spread.

Our book review is Telling the Seasons - Stories, Celebrations and Folklore Around the Year written by Martin Maudsley

Other books referenced on the show - Chocolat and The Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris.

Winter Solstice Ritual originates from The Full Moon Yearbook - A Year of Ritual and Healing Under the Light of the Full Moon by Julie Peters who we interviewed on the Moon episode of the podcast
