Yule

Yule is the longest night of the year, and the turning point at which the light begins to return. This collection gathers the gods who keep the midwinter fire, from the forests of the north to the feasting halls of Rome, in soaps, candles, beard oils, perfume oils, and gift sets made by hand in small batches.

Odin, whom the old poems call Jólnir, the Yule one, burns in smoked cedar, oud, and vetiver. Loki brings fir, balsam, and cold pine in from the forest. Ymir, the first of the frost giants, opens with cinnamon and clove over pine and amber. Freyr pours chai and sweet vanilla, and Freyja fills the hall with apple, pear, and warm spice. From Rome, Saturn returns for his winter feast in peppermint, chocolate, and sugared milk, Bacchus mulls his wine, and Mercury brings coffee, cinnamon, and cream. Hestia, goddess of the hearth, keeps the fire itself in oatmeal, milk, and honey.
