This Christmas Eve I tried to make a Mari Lwyd!
Unfortunately i couldn鈥檛 get a complete skull, but was much fun! I hope next year getting the neighbours to participate. Was much fun anyway! Got snacks hihi
Absolutely love this tradition! Being honest, I鈥檓 Brazilian, probably 0% Welsh, however, as indigenous, I鈥檝e been seeing traditions and culture dying before my eyes. Mari has been growing popularity lately, I feel like her is a symbol of cultural resistance and perseverance, even not 100% accurate, her memory is very much alive.
I hope I could make justice and respectfully did my own homage to Welsh culture! My special thanks to @becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys for the help and guidance!

Some Yule ideas for those limited in how they can celebrate
(broom closet, lack of materials, disability, whatever. all these require minimal effort and materials)
Drink herbal tea, or mix things like cinnamon into your tea/coffee
Listen to music about Yule or instrumental music with bells
Wear colors/makeup matching Yule colors (red, green, and gold)
Pray/meditate with Yule/Yule correspondences in mind
Say/think/write Yule chants
Make plans for how you'll enjoy the return of the sun (whether that's planting a garden or feeling it's warmth on your skin or just seeing it's brightness in your window)
Think about what the return of the sun means to you
Do some self reflection or shadow work (if you're in the mindset where it'd be healthy for you)
Work with deities that correspond with Yule
If you cannot use candles/fire, make sure your house is brightly lit in other ways (if you have LED lights it'd be cool to light them in Yule colors!)
And lastly, wish other pagans a blessed Yule.
Blessed Yule, hope you all find ways to celebrate! May your days be bright.

I hope everyone is content, with their loved ones and safe.
My heart goes out to all those who cannot have that. I haven't spoken a lot about politics on my blog but I want everyone to know that I am Pro-Palestine, that Black Lives Matter and everyone should have a roof over their head and food on the table. There are many problems in the world, pointedly in Congo and Yemen.
I want to take the time to keep these people in my thoughts and hopefully bring awareness.
I'm also sending love to those who don't feel comfortable with their family right now. Who are in their rooms because it's all too much. I want you to know that you've got this. It will get better.

In the process of creating a physical manifestation of my 2023 Yule Tomte
He is coming along very nicely, just need to Finnish some painting, but until he is finished, here is an idea of what he will look like, as provided by a fun little AI that my wife found.
He has not yet reveled his name to me yet, but I do hope he gets along with the other Tomte that are already living here
