Reading up on Yule

I'm a Buddhist who loves mythology, anthropology, Jungian archetypes, non-Jungian archetypes, and all kinds of thinking, not just emotional or rational.

Wikipedia Is German about the collective female spirit Dis, and for Anglo-Saxons it's Mōdraniht.

The Dises by Dorothy Hardy

For the Celts they had Des Matrona


For Anglo-Saxons it's Mōdraniht, or Mother Night. For the Romans it was Saturnalia.

The tradition is Dongzhi in China and throughout Asia. There is a connection to yin and yang. 

Makar Sankranti in Hindu India, which is January 14/15.

Yaldā Night in Iran, where they can read Hafez, the height of Persian literature, late into the night.
