Greeting’s heathens and witches,
Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…
Yule traditionally starts on the Winter Solstice and ends on Jan 1, though it used to last for two months which meant this festive season helped get you through the coldest, darkest part of year. It’s also the season most associated with snow and ice.
For this year’s 104 series, we’re delving into elemental magic, and what better way to start with snow and ice magic! While technically a subset of water magic, snow and ice have unique properties and spells that make the great to add to your spell repertoire.
We also discuss ways to honor the season of Yule, extending that holiday feeling all the way through Imbolc. There’s deities associated with snow and ice, too. Of course, we round out the episode by talking about how we celebrate Yule.
