Now that I’m getting settled back into a more normal routine . . . while also organizing my production area . . . I’m also beginning to design this year’s items. I felt the need to stop for a moment and update what’s in the works for this year’s Yuletide here at Yule Be Magical! (Oh how those bunnies just jump out at me.)
One of the things I truly love about Yule is that it is a celebration of gratitude for the blessings of the old year and of a new beginning in natures life cycle. Symbolically, ancient cultures around the world have used a variety of plants for both spiritual as well as medicinal benefits for thousands of years.
There is a plethora of folklore regarding the uses of native plants and many of the more magical customs that concentrate on bringing good tidings into this new beginning on the yearly wheel of life.
As I bring into my work space my beloved collection of dried nuts, seeds and berries I can feel their positive energies enlivening my environment with a positive energy flow.
Collected years ago when the idea of a Yule Be Magical Etsy store was conceived, I gathered and stored many little gifts from nature to use to create items what would evoke a little earth magic at this pivotal point in this yearly cycle of life.
So now, as the dust continues to settle on my Dad adjusting to a skilled nursing facility, I can begin anew.
For several years now I have longed to get back to work making Yule just a little more magical for a few more people. I’ll be offering a variety of unique herbal supplies as well as other specially selected items for Yuletide which, according to ancient folklore, promotes positive blessings and protection for your hearth and home.
I hope you’ll enjoy them.
Blessings to all,
Judy
Yule Be Magical!
