We are currently having a discussion on a Pagan forum about Yule and one of the moderators, Moonhunter, has written an amazing blog post about it in a way that I never could.
Basically there are 6 celebration dates over the festive season for us and Moonhunter's blog post explains it brilliantly!
11th December
12th December
Solstice Eve
Solstice
Christmas Eve and finally for the season is, of course,
Christmas Day
Moonhunter has explained more about it in her blog so go and take a look!
Steve's just said that we are now at war again, with Syria this time. Apparently it'll just be a "small war" like with Iraq but any war, no matter the size, is still too big!
Still waiting for the sellotape dispenser which should be here today, the ankle boots which should be here tomorrow then that's it until next week when I'll get the amethyst bed and quartz geode so that I cleanse my crystals then that has to be it so that I can save up for the new laptop next year. I can't see that being all that I buy though! lol
Why do the higher-upperers feel that war is the only way out... why can't they just get around a table with a mug of hot chocolate each and a plate of shortbread and, you know, talk?
Why do they always resort to violence? It's a pointless "who can piss higher up the wall" that kills hundreds or thousands of innocents and it creates more problems than it solves! It's a dick measuring contest that they should have grown out of by now!
