Three Crystals for Yule
Yule is such a magical time of year; I couldn’t resist the opportunity to come online and share some beautiful festive gems with you, to comfort you over the next few busy days! Here are my three top picks!
Unconditional Love, with Rose Quartz
Of course, my first choice has got to be Rose Quartz; the stone of unconditional love. Yule is a time for togetherness, for thinking of others and spending time with the people that we love the most, and Rose Quartz is just the stone for that. With her warm, soft hue, she promotes feelings of love, gratitude, and self-expression, which is perfect for this time of year. Gifting Rose Quartz to a loved one is such a powerful statement. Often seen as a gift from the heart, she is a symbol of affection, care, compassion, and kindness.
We spend so much time thinking of others at Yule, it can be easy to forget ourselves in the hustle. Placing Rose Quartz on your Yule altar, or in your home at Christmas, can serve as a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself—like a warm, comforting cuddle of self-appreciation, offering emotional healing and calm affection during the busyness of the season.
Igniting an Inner Fire, with Garnet
Garnet is all about the passion, whether that is in what you do or who you are as a person. This fiery stone will ignite an inner charge, while courageously empowering you to follow your heart's desire. She is the perfect crystal companion for those adventures because she helps explore without inhibitions, while keeping boundaries firmly in place, helping you feel safe and loved.
Associated with fire, vitality and earthiness, Garnet is the perfect stone to use at Yule. Her empowering, protective energy will help you feel strength and stability, while supporting your desires and setting intentions for the new year. She is a beautiful ally in times of crisis, encouraging confidence, courage and a new sense of purpose to take with you into your next chapter.
The Returning Light, with Citrine
Of course, we mustn’t forget that Yule marks the renewal of the sun and the gradual return of her glorious, life-affirming light. That is why my final choice is Citrine.
Radiant Citrine is associated with the sun and the golden light, which is why she is the perfect choice for Yule. This optimistic stone promotes hopefulness and joy, even during the darkest times and provides a warmth from within that can’t be matched by other crystals.
Like a drop of sunshine, this abundant stone will help you maintain confidence and a cheerful disposition during the next few days of festive cheer - warmly invigorating you with the energy you need.
As a time of renewal and self-reflection, Citrine can act as a guiding light, symbolically encouraging optimism and reminding you to focus on joy and hope for the best. It is traditional to place Citrine near candles or sacred evergreens at Yule, as her illuminating glow will symbolise the sun and amplify the themes of light, gratitude and abundance for the new year.
Wishing a Happy Yule to One and All
As always, however you celebrate, I wish you all an abundant Yule, full of peace and love. I will be spending the season with my loved ones and will return in the new year with a renewed sense of gratitude and optimism for what is to come. Thank you all for being here this year, I look forward to sharing my magic with you in 2026.
