"The Reign of the Winter Goddess"

A Yule Celebration with our FirstU children & youth. During the holidays, we commonly hear stories of Baby Jesus and Santa Claus. Yet, many of our holiday customs are rooted in ancient Yuletide lore of Oak Kings, Holly Kings, Winter and Spring Goddesses, the forces of Winter battling with or trying to capture the forces of Spring. The celebration of Yule reminds us that life always holds the promise of transformation and a new beginning.
