-- No one's really sure how long ago humans recognized the winter solstice and began heralding it as a turning point -- the day marking the return of the sun. One delightful little book is written in 1948, 4,000 Years of Christmas, puts its theory right up in the title. The Mesopotamians were first, it claims, with a 12-day festival of renewal, designed to help the god Marduk tame the monsters of chaos for one more year.

Read: Yule: Rituals, Recipes, and Lore for the Winter Solstice
-- Yule ― also known as the Winter Solstice ― is celebrated when nighttime has reached its maximum length, and there is a promise of brighter days to come as candles are lit and feasts are enjoyed. This guide shows you how to perform rituals and work magic with the energy of rebirth and renewal that comes with the return of the light.
