Yule E3: Midwinter Gatherings
In the heart of winter, when storms rage and resources grow thin, generosity has never been easy, or even optional.
In this episode of Wild Kin, we step into the deep history of midwinter to explore why hospitality, gift-giving, and communal care have carried such moral weight across time.
From Neolithic stone monuments aligned to the returning sun, to Celtic laws that mandated hosting as a sacred duty, to Christian stories that reframed generosity as divine obligation, we trace how winter has always demanded answers.
