It's the night before the Winter Solstice. All the woodland animals are making gifts for the newborn Sun. But poor Spider doesn't have a gift. What will she do?
A traditional Yule tale from Poland returned to its pagan roots, based on the tale told by my father.
Also included is information on the Yule holiday in Poland and recipes and tips and ritual ideas to use them in a pagan context.
Most stories of the Yule spider take place indoors and don't have a Solar connection. This is the only one I've come across that celebrate the birth of the Sun and the magickal night when the animals speak.
The story itself is geared to be read aloud to children, however the tradition information is for adults.
A Christian-friendly version of this book is also available, titled "Spider's Christmas Gift."
