Pagans celebrate Yule during the winter solstice, which typically falls on December 21st or 22nd in the northern hemisphere. It is a time to honor the cycles of nature and the turning of the seasons. Yule is rooted in ancient pagan traditions and is associated with various spiritual practices. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Pagans view this as a powerful moment when the sun begins its journey back towards the earth, bringing with it the promise of warmth and renewal. Yule celebrations often include rituals and ceremonies to honor this transition and to welcome the returning light.
Yule celebrations often include rituals and ceremonies to honor this transition and to welcome the returning light. One common practice during pagan Yule is the lighting of a Yule log, which represents the return of the sun. The log is typically decorated and burned in a hearth or bonfire, symbolizing the release of past troubles and the welcoming of new beginnings.

It does not take user inputs, but it does use changing prices from the Grand Exchange Market Watch. If prices appear to be outdated, purge the page by clicking here .
The following table uses live Grand Exchange Market Watch prices to calculate the profit or loss from creating combination runes.
This table assumes use of a binding necklace (currently 1,054 coins coins for 15 charges, or 70.27 coins coins per charge) as well as the spell Magic Imbue (currently 1,970 coins coins for each cast if cast with a steam battlestaff or mystic steam staff). Without Magic Imbue, talismans are prohibitively expensive. However, neither of these costs are factored into the calculations below, as the number of runes made and uses of binding necklace charges can vary from player to player.
This table does not, however, take into account the costs of various teleport spells or items, as these also vary widely according to players' preferences, as well as what is being crafted and where.

With the help of the Uruz rune you can mobilize your inner strength to achieve goals, realize dreams, settle conflicts and act responsibly. The second symbol of the rune sequence can at the same time warn against thoughtless decisions, errors of judgment and imprudence. The runes are considered one of the oldest symbols on earth and were used especially by seers and shamans for divination. To this day, rune-laying or casting is a much-used method of counseling to gain deeper insight into personal life situations. Uruz is the rune of healing, growth and success. The sign strengthens the ability to regenerate, supports spiritual work and promotes the healing process.
It is also common to decorate homes with evergreen foliage such as holly, mistletoe, and pine boughs. These symbols of life and vitality are believed to bring good luck and protection during the winter months. Feasting is another important aspect of pagan Yule celebrations. Traditional foods such as roasted meats, root vegetables, and spiced beverages are enjoyed to celebrate the abundance of the season. The feasting is often accompanied by storytelling, singing, and dancing to foster a sense of community and joy. In addition to these traditional practices, modern pagans may incorporate their own personal beliefs and rituals into their Yule celebrations. Some may choose to perform solitary rituals or join organized gatherings with others who share their spiritual path. The focus of these rituals may vary, but the underlying theme of honoring the cycles of nature and embracing the return of the light remains constant. Overall, pagan Yule is a time of celebration, reflection, and spiritual connection. It is a time to acknowledge the magic and beauty of the natural world and to find solace in the darkness as we await the return of the sun..
