Yule

Lucky7Star ©December 21st, 2006

Two thousand years before Christ is depictions of the Norse Pantheon of Gods in celebration of the winter solstice… This is the time in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun is directly overhead at noon only along the Tropic of Capricorn. The Sun will appear directly overhead for the next three days in places such as Sao Paulo, Brazil, southern Madagascar, and areas north of Brisbane, Australia. Some ancient structures in ancient Ireland are clearly set specifically built for this celebration and are older than Stonehenge and the ancient Pyramids of Egypt. These are among the hundreds of megalithic structures that are scattered across Europe, Americas, Asia and even found in the sub-Saharan Africa Zimbabwe region sometimes called the “African Stonehenge” of the lost tribe.

In celebration in the rebirth of the Sun (Or as Christians know as “The birth of the Son”). apple wassailing, the medieval winter festival custom of blessing the apple trees with songs, dances, decorations and a drink of cider to ensure their fertility… This too predates the Christian traditions that have found its way into our Christmas Carols Songs and dance. Apple cider is to ensure fertility but the wassail is also now incorporated into our tradition as a warm cup of Christmas Cheer.

The placement of Hanukkah is tied to both the lunar and solar calendars. It begins on the 25th of Kislev, three days before the new moon closest to the Winter Solstice. It commemorates an historic event — the Maccabees’ victory over the Greeks and the rededication of the temple at Jerusalem. But the form of this celebration, a Festival of Lights (with candles at the heart of the ritual), makes Hanukkah wonderfully compatible with other celebrations at this time of year. As a symbolic celebration of growing light and as a commemoration of spiritual rebirth, it also seems closely related to other observances.

There has been a lot of flack the past few days over a Holiday lights out in West Hollywood by Ms. Mary Loomis-Shrier, which is seen by some (since Mary Loomis-Shrier is of the Jewish faith). As some kind of defection in the “War on Christmas”… First of all there are many other things to be in war over besides Christmas (Remembering that “Peace on Earth Good will to man” thing here). Maybe this is a special time we should all just try and stay true to the reason for the season. As it has come to use as a combination of many wonderful traditions… It is, I think most would agree, a most beautiful time for all. I know of Hebrew families who feel like they are forced to keep their Christmas Tree in the basement for fear of offending their friends and family. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone would just loosen their bullets a little and have a wonderful time in this most magic of all seasons of the year.

Samhain Supreme

©: October 11th, 2006
Lucky7Star The Psychic News Network

At this time of year no one wants to run the risk of sounding mundane and so when we speak of Halloween it might be a good idea also cover the eight Sabbats of the Pagan year, the most important Samhain October 31st being Supreme. (pronounced SOW-In)… Halloween, the time to honor the dead. And also the time witches celebrate the New Year.

Next is December 21st Yule or the winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and the time the world turns back to sunlight. February 2nd is Imbolic or Candlemas, the first stirrings of Spring. Ostara (OH-shar-uh) March 21st the Spring Equinox. Beltane (Beal-tain) is May Day the feast of fun and fertility of the coming harvest and a tradition time of the Handfasting ceremony. Litha June 21st Midsummer also a popular time in the Handfasting tradition.. It is the longest day and filled with the abundance of summer. Then is the first festival of the harvest Lughnasadh (LOO-nah-sah) August 1st. And the last holiday in the pagan calendar is Mabon (MAH-bawn September 21 the Autumn Equinox.

None, however, is as important as Samhain, not only the time finale harvest but also the time to honor the dead as well as the celebration of the New Year. In the pagan tradition it’s like the New Year, Christmas, and Easter all rolled into one. Its also celebrated as a secular holiday and among most Christians and those of Jewish faiths as indicated by candy sales which are second only to Christmas. For Christians Halloween is literally the “eve of Hallow” preceding the Christian Celebration of “All Souls Day” and the “Day of the Dead” November 2nd So the fact of the matter is that Halloween carries a very large umbrella which finds wider connections to the faith based communities than just about any other festive occasion in any faith. Making it a favorite among all the secular celebrations… Personally It’s always been my favorite .

So we will more often than not use the words Halloween and Samhain interchangeable but I think most understand the difference between the secular and the religious meaning still it does not change the manner of the celebration itself which is free for all fun! In that manner this is a repost of the updates to Lucky7Star’s Halloween listing:

13 Principles

March 2nd, 2006
Circa 1973-74 Carl Llewellyn Weschcke & company 13 Principles of the Wiccan Belief: The following was drawn up in 1974 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As Wiccans have no centralized religious headquarters, this “Council” does not speak for all Wiccans. Many Wiccans though, view these thirteen principals as representative of their beliefs.

We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal Quarters and Cross Quarters.

We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with Nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept.

We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary it is sometimes called “supernatural”, but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.

We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifesting through polarity-as masculine and feminine-and that this same Creative Power lies in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither (gender) above the other, knowing each to be supportive to the other. This next section of #4 is often omited in recent copies, partly because of residual puritanical beliefs in the public and in some modern Witches, and partly because it is often misunderstood: We value sex as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magickal practice and religious worship.

We recognize both outer worlds and inner, of psychological, worlds sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc.-and we see in the inter-action of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.

We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.

We see religion, magick and wisdom in living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it-a world view and philosophy of life which we identify as Witchcraft-the Wiccan Way.

Calling oneself “Witch” does not make a Witch-but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to other and in harmony with Nature.

We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness giving meaning to the Universe we know and our personal role within it.

Our only animosity towards Christianity, or toward any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have clamed to be “the only way” and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.

As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.

We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as “Satan” or “the Devil”, as defined by Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another.

We believe that we should seek within Nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.
