Magickal Coffee Hour EP 7 2019 Yule Special
In this episode of the Magickal Coffee Hour, we talk about yule some ways one can celebrate it some of the different meanings and how to just enjoy the season in general.
How to Make Wassail
With Yule on the way, I thought I would share a recipe that we love in my family for wassail. You might be wondering just what is wassail. Wassail is a strong alcoholic punch like drink that is commonly made with ale and apples. It was once a very common and important part of the Yule season. The holiday carol ‘A Wassailing We Come’ is in fact about this drink. In the past friends and neighbors would go wassailing what we might call caroling today. if you lessen to the modern carol you can hear the tradition of them going around singing in exchange for an offering of strong drink(wassail) and some coins for their purse. Honestly, I might have enjoyed caroling more if they were handing out alcohol lol. The idea was to bring good health and joy to all those you shared the wassail with. So enjoy the video below to learn more and make a batch of wassail for you and your family and be in good health and cheer. From our family to yours have a wonderful holiday and a very blessed Yule.

Introduction To Yule and the Winter Solstice
Yule or the Winter solstice is a wonderful time of year. often associated with family, friends, joy, love, and prosperity as well as the coming of the new year. I often find many people seek to stick so strictly to one tradition or other for this holiday that they end up stress and not have much fun.
I to was guilty of this lucky for me my loving wife set me straight. She was the one who pointed out we could celebrate the meaning of the season our way with our family traditions. That is what we did and just like that, I started to enjoy the holidays again. I go into more detail in the video below on how you can begin celebrating Yule. I cover some of the basic meanings of the season and give a few ideas to try and talk about how and why you should also seek to find your own traditions to honor the meaning of the season.
I also want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season no matter what path or tradition you follow or what holiday or religion you are. May you and your families always be blessed.
