I’m thinking about the energies of Yule/Christmas… as an Ancient Pagan festival, far older than Christmas, do the Christians and Muggles who celebrate Christmas realise this? Do they, inadvertently, tap into these energies? The feasting, dressing of the tree and house, the celebration etc are after all, the more Pagan traditions of the festive season. As is, I suppose, midnight mass… which could be celebrated on a pre-Christian site, resulting in a timeless ritual down the thousands of years since the Midwinter Solstice celebration began… perhaps, just perhaps, this has been helpfull in keeping the Old Ways (pre-Wicca) alive, and the Old Gods with us.
Just a thought…
