Good Afternoon dear brothers and sisters! This is my Yule gift’s to Lady A, doing the postings after our Yule Celebration. We had a wonderful celebration and I hope you do too. The guys were ready to celebrate as soon as Lady A close up shop here. She told them they could get some chairs and benches out and we would be back in a little bit. The joke was on the guys, Lady A told us she wasn’t planning on coming back to at least 6:30. She told us we could come when ever we got ready. I showed up at 7:00 to see if there was any help needed. There always is. The food was out on the tables (buffet style). I was in charge of the drinks. Everything when smoothly. We all ate supper, then everyone helped clean up. We went to the gathering room and all had a seat. It was time to light the fire in the fireplace and tell stories to the children. We read a few stories then the kids got anxious. It was time to exchange gifts. We have a rule that we never purchase gifts. Everything is handmade which makes it nice.

After the gifts were opened, we started caroling. We sang tons of Pagan carols. While we sang, Lady A and the others that would be in the ritual quietly disappeared. Lady A doesn’t like take the part of High Priestess especially since she is a Solitary. She has more knowledge than any of us, so she got voted in years ago. Lady A’s husband is a Druid, he takes the position of High Priest. Slowly and quietly the music starts to fade.  The group parts way and in the huge doorway, stays Lady A looking so beautiful and radiant. Then her husband, so handsome and gleaming with joy of the ritual to come. The procession starts through the cabin, out the door and down to the cleared wooded area. Next comes the ritual, which I won’t give you a play by play of it. We did all manage to stay up and see the Sun rise this morning. It was a grand sight to see.

I hope everyone of you were able to have a very merry Yule celebration. Below I have posted a photo of our bonfire.
