Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today
I thought everything the causes me pain when I type or copy and paste would be good by this morning…I was definitely wrong. I will try to do one informational post today but that’s it as my finger hurt a lot still. I will get back to posting all 4 informational posts as soon as I can. I need to get use to the new medicine change again so please bear with me.
May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and all things positive!
Blessed be.

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft or herbs or flowers or anything pertaining to witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it. If you want a friend to talk to please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. We can do it by email or audio or video Skype. I am an ordained minster the reason this might be important to you is I cannot discuss anything we talk about with anyone else (even Big Dawg, my husband)
Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today
Well, I am late getting to my computer today because of a doctor appointment complete with lab work than we had errands to do before the wind got more ridiculous. I am grateful to not live in the upper east coast of the USA a bad storm hit last week and they’re getting another one today through Saturday. Typing and using the mouse is kind of slow today thanks to the cold and arthritis/fibromyalgia. I am not doing the informational/fun posts until tomorrow.
Please join me in sending positive energy and protection to those living in that area of the country.
May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and all things positive!
Blessed be.

What Is Yule and How Does It Differ from Christmas?
Let’s face it, by the time November rolls around, we’re all rooting for the return of light. And, there’s a celebration for just this thing. It’s called Yule.
What is Yule? Yule is the pagan holiday that celebrates the return of longer days. Many cultures — from ancient Germanic peoples to Celtic Druids — celebrated Yule. This turning of the wheel of the year also has traditions that may seem familiar to those who celebrate Christmas today.
What is Yule?
Yule is the time to celebrate the rebirth of the light after the very darkest part of the year. In neopagan traditions, Yule (also known as Jól) is when the god, who sacrificed himself at Samhain, has journeyed through the underworld and, in the embrace of the goddess, becomes the child of light.
Yule or the winter solstice is also the stage of the Wheel of the Year when the god transforms from the Oak King into the Holly King. He’ll shift back to the Oak King at the summer solstice.
The time between Samhain and Yule is one of purging what does not serve you and reflecting on the upcoming year with fresh eyes and hope for new beginnings.
Yule is the moment where the energy of the new year rises up. It is a wonderful time to look within and set intentions for the following year.

Is Yule the same as Christmas?

About December’s Cold Full Moon
December full moon is commonly known in the Northern Hemisphere as the Full Long Nights Moon. It takes its name from the winter solstice, which has the longest night in the year. The Full Long Nights Moon cuts a soaring trajectory through the wintery skies, in direct opposition to the low-hanging sun. According to Pagan tradition, on years that the Full Moon falls before the winter solstice, it is referred to as the Mourning Moon. For our early Pagan ancestors this was a time of cleansing by stopping bad habits to make one stronger to service the cold winter ahead. The Algonquins called this full moon the Cold Moon, in reference to the cold light it casts upon long winter nights. Strangely enough, in certain other cultures, December’s full moon can actually be associated with warmth.
To the Deborean Clan, the Cold Moon is associated with staying in your cosy home beside a crackling fireplace, surrounded not just by physical warmth, but also the warmth of family and friends. Similarly, the Wishram tribe named December’s full moon the Winter Houses Moon. Given that it coincides with holidays like Yule, Pagans consider this the perfect time to open up your home and provide warmth to those you love, as well as to those who are most vulnerable to the cold of winter.
For those who are more inclined towards solitude, the Full Long Nights Moon provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy your cosy home in peace and quiet. Consider taking lots of restful naps under warm, fluffy comforters, or allowing yourself to lounge in bed in the mornings instead of rising immediately to work. Appropriately, the Native American Zuni tribe called December’s full moon the “Moon Where the Sun Comes Home to Rest”. This full moon is a great time for you to take a long overdue break and recharge, so that you may shine all the brighter when it comes time for you to rise again.
This period of slow restfulness is also very conducive to introspection. When you look inwards and take stock of your life during this time, try to focus on loose ends and the little things that you’ve left hanging throughout the year. As the last full moon that rises before the year draws to a close, the Full Long Nights Moon is a time of endings. Take advantage of this full moon’s energy and bring an end to tasks you’ve been meaning to do, clearing your mind so you can move forward with a clean slate.
As much as the Full Long Nights Moon may be about endings, it is also about beginnings and rebirth. The Sioux Indians’ name for December’s full moon is the “Moon When Deer Shed Their Horns”, thus beginning the process of growing new ones. The Celts, on the other hand, call it the Elder Moon. Elder is fragile and easily damaged, but it’s also full of vitality and recovers very quickly. As the Elder Moon shines upon you, allow yourself to rest and heal from everything that has hurt you over the year, and focus instead on new beginnings and promising areas of growth. This is an excellent time to start planning your New Year’s resolutions and set exciting new goals for the upcoming year.

Ogham Stones And Ancient Irish Writing
Well, that’s the technical explanation of this old Celtic form of communication, but for me the very word brings to mind images of ancient stones pointing skyward in mystical spots throughout the Irish landscape.
So today, let’s explore some of these magnificent structures from centuries past and learn a little about the stories and messages carved on their edges and faces.
