Yule blessings. (That's the sabbat/holiday it actually is/was...)
I'll wager Christ might like his Bday being celebrated at the correct time of the wheel/year, yes? I'm not taking a sarcastic tone here, btw. Remember the Julian calendar: 12/25 would be 1/7 I believe? Some scholars note that Luke's descriptions of shepherds' activities at the time of Jesus' birth suggest a spring or summer date....I dunno? How cold does it get in the fields those shepherds tended in December? I have no clue. Would they be sleeping in them in December? This has always made me curious.
Winter Solstice is 12/22/07. Have a cool Yule! I'll be burning my Yule log like a good lil pagan, lol.
Peace.
