On the day of December 21 and during the 12 nights that follow, we celebrate the winter solstice, which is a harbinger of the approaching sunny days. The time of short days and long nights is finally over: darkness will disperse as soon as the celebration of Yule begins.
During these winter days the power of absolute light intensifies – God, our new sun, has been born. Yule symbolizes renewal and birth in a new way, with new ideas and views. Today we are ready to partake of the sacrament of birth and rethink the cycle of nature by contemplating the world born again. Many Wiccans believe that it was on Yule that King Oak defeated King Holly in a battle. From now on, King Oak will reign until high summer.
Preparations for the feast start as early as possible and must be completed before it begins. Wiccans refer to the night before Yule as Mother’s Night: at this time it is important to light a green candle and remember your childhood, thus paying homage to the Goddess. Spend the following day indulging yourself in pleasant errands: decorate the altar with an evergreen tree, dress it up in the colors of the reborn Sun. Be sure to hang on the tree amulets, crystals, magical objects, and anything else that is supposed to exude a strong energy throughout the year. Go for a walk and prepare gifts for your loved ones, and children should have the most luscious gifts. Prepare the traditional Yule log of ash, willow or apple tree well in advance and light it before and during the celebration. It is believed that this way we empower the newborn baby and protect our home. Wreaths hung on the front door are also used as amulets safeguarding your home.
Yule is a warm and cozy celebration of family and home. Gather your loved ones around you to greet the sun that has risen from the darkness – and candles will only strengthen the warmth of your souls. Recollect funny stories, have fun in the Christmas circle dance, sing carols and tell fortunes!
Be especially watchful during the next 12 nights, as during this sacred period, Goddess of Fate’s spindle spins. This time is perfect for rituals of prosperity and well-being, where each day determines a corresponding month of the year.
And although spring is still a long while away, it will surely come, just wait a little!

Popular questions
01
What is the difference between lunar and daylight hours?
Lunar tips and day characteristics in the app are based on lunar days, which can sometimes differ from calendar days. This is because lunar days are determined by the position of the Moon, and they can change independently of calendar days (daylight hours). So, you can read a horoscope for one lunar day and when you check it later, it may change to the next lunar day. Since sometimes the change of lunar day can happen in the middle of the daylight hours.
This is the normal behavior of the app, and it is designed to give you unique and personalized information for each lunar day. If you have any specific questions or concerns about horoscope readings, feel free to let us know and we'll do our best to help you further!

How to create a profile and how to log in?
You have several ways to log in to your account through: Google account, Apple ID, Email and Facebook. In order not to lose your profile data (tarot history, calendar, notes, etc.), it's important to use and remember your way of logging in to your account on another device, for example.
Also, your registration in the application is automatic after filling out your profile data. You can see your ID if you click on the "Sign in with Apple" button, which is the same as registering your profile data. In the same window, you can log out of your account and then log in with the same ID.

How does the profile restoration process work?
If you delete your account, all your data will disappear in the app, including your date of birth, tarot history, notes, etc. If you delete only the app and then re-upload it, your profile will be populated with your previous birth information.
If you didn't delete your account, and logged into the app through your Apple ID, and then logged in also through your Apple ID on another device, your date of birth will be restored, as will your tarot data history, notes, etc. It is important to log into your account using the same login method.
If you download the app to another device and hit the restore button, only premium access will be restored, not your profile history. You will need to log in to the app to restore all your data. Under the same login methods.
