Every sabbat I try to write a poem or prompt inspired by the traditions around me. Here’s one I wrote for Yule this year. I hope everyone enjoys. For inspiration I tried to consider those that don’t celebrate yule and used that to remind myself that even though they don’t follow my own tradition they still have their own beliefs to be respected just as I would like respect for mine.
As we greet the longest night
Remember those left behind
For they do not know the olden ways
And carry on oblivious throughout their day
We carry blessings from the gods above
Of light and caring and of love
Blessings to those you love and care for
Throughout your life they’re always there
Don’t forget the rest of the world
And blessings from their own lord
As we greet the longest night
Remember those that are left behind
For they still need love and care
To carry it alone would be unfair
Joy to the world and those in it
Take all that love and spread it
As we greet the longest night
Remember those that are left behind
