What do you know about Yule? Maybe a lot. The holiday is widely celebrated in Scandinavian countries, and it's an important part of Wiccan and Pagan tradition. But for many of us, the version that's come down through history is strongly associated with Christmas--and heavily sanitized.
When we scratched the surface, however, we found that the origins of Yule were older and darker and weirder than we ever imagined.
