8. Great things to do for Yule are going to be making a yule log (That is going to be a piece of wood / a log that has decorations like holly or mistletoe, pinecones, evergreens, and 3 candles. You can use it as your table’s centerpiece and then burn it in your bone fire. Even more powerful if you have any remnants of lasts years fire with your 2021 yule log in it …. To start the new fire this year. If you don’t … be sure to save a part of this year’s fire you so can start your 2023 yule fire with it.)

9. Decorating a yule tree is perfect for the holiday …. Even better if it’s a live tree that you can plant in the Spring. Be sure to top it with a five-point star representing the 5 elements.

10. Other good things to do for Yule are going to be making a witch’s bell, bake something for the holidays, make or buy gifts for your loved ones, decorate your alter, celebrate with fire with your candles and fireplace (of course if you can …. Do a little fire magic and write down what you want to let go of for the new year and burn it).
