Altar-Sized Yule Log

• Small altar-sized log
• Three candles: One white, one red, one black
• Bits of artificial holly to decorate with
• Red and green ribbon to be tied in a decorative bow
• Glue gun

Directions:

The candles can be short squat ones or longer ones if you're willing to drill holes in the log and insert them. Just gluing them is fine. The white candle represents the innocent phase of life; it goes first. The red represents the childbearing phase; it goes in the middle. The black candle represents maturity and wisdom; it goes last. Arrange the holly around them so that drill holes or glue gun marks do not show. Tie a bow with the ribbon and stick on the front.

Ritual use:

Burn the candles during ritual or any times the Yule darkness threatens to overpower.
