This is what Yule is:
Yule or Yuletide ("Yule time") is a festival observed by the historical Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht. It later underwent Christianised reformulation resulting in the term Christmastide.
Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are used in the Nordic countries for Christmas with its religious rites, but also for the holidays of this season. Today Yule is also used to a lesser extent in the English-speaking world as a synonym for Christmas. Present day Christmas customs such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from pagan Yule. Today the event is celebrated in Heathenry and some other forms of Modern Paganism.
It is not a word to be Trademarked

Yule not just a scent, it's a Religious Holiday.

Yule is one of my religious Holudays and *not* a brand. I strongly reject copyright infringement.

Trademarking Yule is like Trafemarking Christmas. This word does not belong to anyone in any form

It's absolutely ridiculous that anyone would consider trademarking a holiday.

This is ridiculous. Yule is a religious holiday, like Christmas or Easter for the catholic faith. It is not a marking ploy or product to be bought or trademarked!!

Yule is an ancient holiday and it is disgusting that anyone should own rights to use the word.

I can understand wanting to trademark a scent: but seriously Yule ritual oils have been around for longer than any one particular business.
Many families have their own versions of Yule scents that have been passed down for many generations and share these blends through their small shops.
To lose the diversity of our spiritual community and collective ancestors is seriously a sad state of affairs.
