Discover the hidden magick of Yule—from reindeer medicine and winter solstice rituals to malachite’s power for transformation and manifestation. ✨
Highlights / Episode Summary
In this episode of Practically Magick with Courtney Pearl, Courtney and Jamie dive deep into the meaning of Yule and the Winter Solstice—a season of presence, stillness, and rebirth. They explore folklore like the reindeer who brings back the light, the Oak King vs. Holly King myth, and the symbolism behind wreaths as solar circles. Courtney pulls “Reindeer Medicine” from the Season of the Witch oracle, inviting us to embrace the longest night and the return of the sun.
The conversation grounds into healing cycles, shadow work, and compassionate boundaries with family during holiday gatherings—offering the simple practice: “That’s interesting,” to notice triggers without self-shame. You’ll also learn why malachite is a perfect Yule crystal: luck, manifestation, transformation, and protection—plus how its green heart-chakra energy supports self-love and loving others. Folklore fans will love the origin stories of gnomes as house spirits (a cozy alternative to Elf on the Shelf), and the community ritual of wassailing—blessing apple trees and neighbors for abundance in the new year.
