Conjure Oils Yule 2009 : Ghosts of Holidays Past Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)
A Slavic holiday celebrated on the longest night of the year, December 21st. Hors, the old sun, becomes smaller as the days become shorter in the Northern Hemisphere and dies on the Solstice, defeated by the dark powers of Chernobog. On December 23rd Hors is resurrected and becomes the new sun, Koleda. On this day Western Slavs lit fires at cemeteries to keep their loved ones warm, and organized feasts to honour the dead and keep them fed. They also lit wooden logs at local crossroads.
smoke carried on frosty air and promises of warm wheat bread, juicy figs, spiced cookies and buttered rum.
