Rest in peace, Professor ❤️ Thank you, Tom Kane, for lending your voice to the father of three perfect little girls and bringing The Force to millions of fans. You'll live on in our childhood memories forever.
I thought originally that Wales was part of England, not its own nation. Something didn't feel right about believing I was merely English- no disrespect, just a strange inner dissonance. I now know otherwise and feel more at home knowing these Celtic roots of mine for certain.
I've been doing my best to study the Welsh language as best I can since the beginning of the year. I've learned a lot thus far, but there's still so much more to learn, and I'm loving every minute of it. Dw i'n mwynhau dysgu Cymraeg.
So, I found out that most of my blood is Welsh. I found that out years ago, but I didn't do any research. Now I'm finally getting to discover my cultural heritage and I'm enjoying it immensely!
If you decorate your home, why not also make a #Yule altar? Some of these things can easily be found in your home or a store. Consecrate them with intent and gratitude for a truly satisfying altar experience.
Spiritually, there are quite a few things to do on #Yule. One of my favorite things to do is to light a fire and partake in a birch beer, as birch represents newness and new beginnings, as well as rebirth. Just as the sun dies and is reborn on #Yule, so too can we be reborn.
Many of our #Christmas traditions, such as decorating a fir tree and gathering with family, come from #yuletide traditions. As a #Christopagan, I enjoy celebrating both of these holidays.
@XmasFilmQuotes Hilariously, my parents told me that they never had to teach me how to walk. It was this movie, me watching it over and over as I watched the song "One Foot In Front of the Other."
I now tell people, "Santa Clause taught me to walk as a child." 😄
The 21st of December (sometimes the 22nd) marks the winter solstice- the shortest day of the year and longest night. From then on for quite some time, the days begin to grow in length and the nights begin to shorten. It's a time of the light's rebirth as well as our rebirth and cleansing. I'll soon post information on a ritual I perform each Yule for cleansing, gratitude, and sending intentions into the next year as "this year" passes away and is reborn as "next year."
People have asked me, "Why do you spell #magick so weirdly? It doesn't end with that letter." It's because the 'k' is used to denote the difference between the tricks of stage magicians' sleight of hand (magic) from true energy work and intention-fueled ritual and spell (magick).
