Winter solstice, also known as Yule or Midwinter, is a significant event in the Wiccan tradition. It is a time when the earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun, resulting in the longest night and shortest day of the year. For Wiccans, this transition marks the rebirth of the Sun God, as the days begin to lengthen once again. During the Winter solstice, Wiccans gather to celebrate and honor the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. They pay homage to the Sun God, reflecting on the darkness and turning towards the light. This event is seen as a time of hope and renewal, a time to release negativity and embrace new beginnings.
