In enlightenment the fires, in stringing the lights, we do additional than stave off the darkness, even additional than cling on to the sun. We equally stand with forceful daring to say to the darkness, "You may come this far but no further!" We transmit given the darkness its due, we transmit watched it leak the light from our lives for as hunger as we had to; now the hunger night is best quality, we can apprehensively bring our own lights back from loss, and let the new days begin.
This Go of the Time, the persistent of the light, this ceiling promising of all days,has been branded kitty-cornered cultures and through millennia so, all the same you good turn to dignitary, you motion be part of an ancient basting. Whether you puff old beliefs and sorrows out to sea on paper mache boats with candles, make a Yule circlet to cling on to the sacred circle of life, death and rekindling, find a Yule log and scorch it in your fireplace, or local the Fairies in ringing glockenspiel on Solstice dawn to delightful back the sun, remember that this is a parade of inner rekindling. No small business how dark it seems, how in total dead the world appears, cast - by the holly and the ivy and the oak - teaches us that expound is yet rekindling.

Today I'm going to go a bit to the personal side for my entry into The Yuletide Ball Yule Blog Party hosted by:
On the Broomstick ">Witch of Howling CreekI'll admit as a family we have "yet" to truly celebrate YULE in our house. Really I'm not sure how to do it. As I've shared before I'm HEATHEN, I don't identify as Asatru because I have some beliefs that don't follow true enough and I feel using the more general term is safer. My Hubby is an ECLECTIC-PAGAN but has never been fully immersed in it. He's still in his discovery period. Right now he leaves ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES TO ME TO ORCHESTRATE because I have a lot more experience in both my faith and even in eclectic paganism. "(I went so far as a first degree with an eclectic church many years ago so I have the basics pretty good though a bit rusty.)"As of right now I've always been trying to do a hybrid practice in our house but I'm considering altering that a bit for Yule. Ethically my Hubby is very Heathen, and I swear if he were to hang around a bunch of heathen guys he would either love them or hate them. Love them because of similar views or hate them because they'd butt heads. I THINK I'M GOING TO STOP TRYING THE HYBRID BECAUSE WELL I'M JUST NOT FEELING IT.Read more >>This post was originally posted to TREEGOLD AND BEEGOLD
