About this listen
Ursula and Elli discuss solstice traditions from ancient times to modern day. Why do we gather in community around these times of year? What are the origins of the 12 days of Christmas, and why is this time of year SO magickal and potent, but also dark and strange?
They talk grief, community, and there's a super simple New Years wishing spell at the end you're going to want to check out.
Comment below with your favorite solstice/winter traditions! And make sure you follow because we release new episodes every Thursday.
