Find a quiet, sacred space where you can connect with the natural world. You may wish to light a candle to symbolize the returning light of Yule. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take several deep breaths to ground yourself.

"A spioraid an dúlra, éist le mo ghlaoch. Tabhair dom eagna agus síocháin."(Spirit of nature, hear my call. Grant me wisdom and peace.)

Feel the energy around you, the cool touch of December air, and the whisper of the darkening days as they draw nearer to the still point of Yule.

Imagine yourself standing in a sacred grove. The trees are bare, their branches reaching like arms to the heavens. Beneath your feet, the earth rests, holding the seeds of life deep in its embrace.

Feel the Wheel of the Year turning slowly beneath you. Breathe deeply:"Mar a thiocfaidh an oíche is an lá, tiocfaidh an solas arís."(As night and day will come, so too will the light return.)

Now, see a single spark of golden light glowing in the distance. This light represents the promise of Yule, the rebirth of the sun. Let your heart fill with its warmth.

The spark grows brighter with each passing moment. As you breathe, feel its energy building within you. Say aloud or in your heart:"An ghrian bheag atá imithe uainn, déanfaidh sí filleadh, mar is iomaí gealltanas atá coinnithe ag an dúlra."(The little sun that has gone from us will return, for many promises are kept by nature.)

Reflect on this promise of renewal and rebirth. The darkest nights carry the seeds of the brightest days.

As you sit with this growing light, think about the ways you will honor the solstice season. Perhaps you’ll light a Yule log, gather with loved ones, or meditate further on the deep stillness of the earth. Whisper:"Is é an t-am seo an tús, mar tá an tsíoraíocht i gcroílár an rotha."(This time is the beginning, as eternity lies at the heart of the we Wheel.heel.)

Feel gratitude for the present moment, knowing that Yule marks a turning point—a reminder that no matter how long the night, the sun always returns.

Take one last deep breath and place your hands on your heart. Say:"Go maire an síocháin liom. Go dtuga an dúlra eagna dom. Agus go dtaga an tsolas arís."(May peace be with me. May nature grant me wisdom. And may the light return again.)

When you are ready, open your eyes, feeling grounded and aligned with the rhythm of the earth. Carry the anticipation of Yule’s light with you into the coming days.

Slán agus beannachtaí ort! (Farewell and blessings upon you!)
