Dear Lovestars,

What a great time of year this is!

Yesterday, 12/21 we had the winter solstice happening for those of us in the Northern hemisphere. And what better way to start the Holidays than with a wholesome spiritual celebration? Spiritual celebrations have helped me get in the holiday spirit, which I lacked big time prior and I’m getting my children involved. My oldest is talking about celebrating Yule. 😁🌻🎄

Goddess oracle reading

I pulled 3 goddess cards to get a divine winter solstice message. I pulled Quan Yin, and the queen of Shiba with the full cup of affirmation which means a big yes! See the video through the link below for the card meanings.

On my podcast (Twin Flame Lovestars https://anchor.fm/eve520 ) I have talked about the winter solstice twice. On my last episode, I shared the goddess oracle card reading but with a twin flame twist. Listen for the twin flame messages which were beautiful. See links below 👇

Winter Solstice colors

This year I’m being called to work with yellow as inspiration for the sun during the Yule celebration and green to aid in heart activation with Quan Yin. Gold is good too to help with manifestation. I have been staying up late and waking up early to make my new yellow dress which I’m so happy about.

Holiday Decorations

Through the years I have not decorated for Christmas very much. I never really liked the consumerism of the holiday and the guilt and the force, you have to do this or else… I don’t like that at all and that is why my new spiritual celebration is so special, I have learned to get into the holiday spirit and through the holiday spirit I found the Christmas spirit.

This year we have a new Christmas tree. I have 4 children which is why I have even tried to celebrate the holidays. The children get super excited about it and they love to help, my little toddler gets so excited and he loves to decorate the tree and it’s really fun to decorate for the girls too, however, this year I started celebrating Yule and I have been watching so many awesome, incredible Yule videos on YouTube. See my link below for my Yule and Christmas playlist on YouTube. There’s so many good videos there from creativity and decor, food and more of how to celebrate Yule. I’m a newbie at Yule so you will want to know from people who have been celebrating for years.

This year I started decorating with cinnamon sticks and I loved having a reason to  buy them because I only used cinnamon powder previously. I love the cinnamon smell. I also started decorating with star anise seeds wich I had a ton leftover from when I was breastfeeding because  Star Anise is fabulous for milk production, the leftovers I had still smell delicious even though they’re a few years old, I used them to make garlands with my children and they absolutely loved the experience,  we put garlands on our Christmas tree and also I hung them on the wall. It was super special, super fast and easy to craft these with the kids and the smell is just delicious. I will leave a few Links of some videos that I made with my kids about making the garlands and decorating our tree with them and some pictures of the decorations

As I started decorating for Yule, I noticed similarities between Yule and Christmas decorations, for example I had a Christmas advertisement come on my phone, because you know our phone listens to us and noticed how similar the DIY decorations were to Yule decorations,  there was a garland with dried orange slices for example. Somebody who has no idea what Yule is asked me the other day what is up with the oranges at this time of year? The oranges symbolize the Sun and in Yule we celebrate the Sun during the winter so we’re expecting the sun to come back.

Another idea that I started using about 2 years ago is decorating the Christmas tree with pinecones, this year before Christmas I have a plan to take my kids to pick up pinecones at the park and they’re really excited about it. 2 years ago I made a video about making a pinecone garland to decorate our old tree, we only have some pinecones left from the garland and we secured the pine cones to our Christmas tree, I want more pinecones because there’s so many cute ways to decorate with pinecones such as adding some glitter painting them, etc, there’s many ideas in my Yule/ Xmas playlist ☝️.

An idea I have used for years and love is making beautiful ribbon bows and making my own bows to decorate presents and of course I love paper crafts so cutting snowflakes is something that we love to do. Ok also love making wrapping paper bows to ad to gifts. Since we’re still celebrating Christmas I expect to continue posting about my DIY ideas.

In the end the winter solstice was a great way to start the celebration going into Christmas and Yule I will be celebrating from the winter solstice until this Sunday after Christmas, to introduce more of the Yule celebration to my children, we will be reading myths and stories about the people who celebrated Yule and about the gods and goddesses that they celebrated.

And how wonderful that the celebration stretches into the new year week and of course the days off are wonderful and it also helps that children are off of school at the moment. This has become one of my favorite times of the year. Let me know how you are celebrating the holidays and  what do you think about the Yule celebration?

Much love my beloved and may you have wonderful celebrations and create awesome memories and new traditions, talk soon,

Eve
