Yule Gifts
Well I was thinking of making several if not all of my gifts for Yule and I was looking for ideas of things I could make.
I'm not really good a crafts (but I do enjoy doing them) so I wasn't sure exactly what kinds of gifts to make.
But I did some research and came up with some ideas I thought I would share with others if they might be having the same problem.
Wood Burning, Boxes or Runes.
You can do wood burning and find a nice wood box and on the top of it wood burn a tarot card image or pagan related design.
You can do wood burning and make runes as well just find or cut the right size wood pieces you want.
Incense
Something I'm going to do for sure is make some Yule incense.
Magical Oils
You can blend and combined oils as long as you do your research and know what you are doing you can make an oil for a certain purpose that the person could rather use.
example: money, blessing, healing, etc.
Herb Pots
Something that I thought sounded cool was planting a pot with several useful herbs in it so the person can have fresh herbs at hand but if you live somewhere where it gets cold fast you can move it indoors when it does or start growing it indoors from the start (or if you have a green house).
Candles
Candles, you can go to a local hobbies and craft store and get just about everything you need to make candles (but it can be expensive and it does take some skill).
Like: dye, paraffin wax, oil (for scent), wicks, etc.
Portable Alter or Magic Gift Baskets
Find a pretty box and fill it with herbs, oils, stones, flowers, etc.
And you can do the same with a Magic Gift Basket.
(If I did this I would have to make a card and add it to)
Brooms
I don't know how to do this myself I guess I would get a staff maybe find one in the woods and then add the bristles needed as well.
Alter Clothes, Sewn Banners or Dream Pillows
If you are good at sewing or have a machine making an alter cloth I think would make a grand gift and I was thinking if you know the person normally put the four elements on their alter you could sew four different colored squares together to represent the different elements and maybe even do embroider of the word Earth or Fire etc. into each side. Or make them one associated with their astrological sign or favorite Sabbat.
Or do the same thing but make a banner that can be hung on the wall as art on the persons bedroom door or front door for Yule.
Dream Pillows can be great gifts to fill a pouch of a pretty fabric you have picked up with dried herbs (that won't break through) so the person can have it in bed or place it under their bed and smell it something like lavender or chamomile that can be relaxing.
Yule Decorations or Ornaments
You can be real creative with these and do them just about however you want I have seen fairy painted glass balls, pipe-cleaner pentacles, pine corn and acorn ornaments.
Some that look very pretty and unique.
Baked Goods
Cakes, Pie, Brownies or Cookies if you have a cookie monster in your family.
You can make their favorite or a Yule like desert with spices, pumpkin, apples, etc.
If anyone has any other ideas or thoughts about making Yule gifts I would love for you to share it.

Musical_Vampire_Socks mechanical kitsy I normally make cookies. Or gifts-in-a-jar that are basically those hand-made "just add water" kind of treats. Most of my family does not practice an alternative religion, as they call it. gifts-in-jar? like those little things that grow when you add water? None of my family is pagan either its more like my close friends that are pagan like me. So for my family I get them what they ask for or I know they want by ordering it online. But for my friends I like to make them their Yule gifts since I know they would enjoy and appreciate them more that way and I can learn some new crafting skills along the way.
Gifts in a jar are usually things like cookie recipes with the dry ingredients already measured and in a jar. |

Musical_Vampire_Socks IncenseSomething I'm going to do for sure is make some Yule incense. Here is a recipe I found, its meant to be burned on charcoals. ------------------------------- Yule Incense: 2pt Frankincense Resin 2pt Pine Needles or Resin 1pt Cedar 1pt Juniper Berries ------------------------------
That you found, like you just were knocking around and stumbled on it like some sort of orphan recipe?
You mean, that you found this recipe HERE, in THIS guild, on my article on Sabbat activities. That this is actually my recipe, that you did not see fit to mention anywhere.
You don't have much respect for other people's work. That much seems clear. I hereby revoke my permission for you to use my works in any shape or form. |
