Yule Ornaments - Elemental Collection
Yule Ornaments - Elemental Collection
Yule - also called Jul or Jól - is a festival celebrating the Winter Solstice and the return of the sun in the form of lengthening daylight hours. Yule was celebrated in Northern Europe for hundreds of years before the arrival of Christianity, and is still celebrated today in a variety of ways and forms. (The holiday of Christmas as we know it now began as a Christianized form of Yule celebration.)
These seven ornaments feature a variety of symbols and motifs associated with the Yule festival. The designs are burned into Maple hardwood, cut into ornament shape, then suspended from a green satin ribbon.
Each ornament reflects the magic of the Yule season and can be purchased individually, or as part of a seven piece set which includes a discount. (See details below for each ornament’s symbology.)

Ornament is made from natural Maple hardwood and treated with a semi-gloss finish that seals wood, protects from UV exposure, and keeps ornament oil- and water-resistant.
