On this shortest day, as the warg Sköll, descendent of unruly Fenrir, chases down the sun, let us boldly feast, game, share stories, and quaff mead.

Most of all, let there be bonfires – lots of bonfires.

Cut the mistletoe! Deck the halls! Fill the air with festive and reflective music for the solstice!

However it is you choose to express the primordial desire to welcome light back into the world, I raise my cup to you. Embrace life, family, and community. Embrace love. Look to the New Year with courage, optimism, and appreciation. And drive the cold winter away!

Welcome, Yule!

Still one of my favorites, and the very thing for the Winter Solstice. To enjoy the complete album, click “play all” once you follow the link.
