Rumba Rue Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Yule is from the Norse word Iul meaning 'wheel', marks the death and rebirth of the Sun-God; it also marks the vanquishing of the Holly King, God of the Waning Year, by the Oak King, God of the Waxing Year. Those in Wicca know what I'm talking about... Blessed be.
Cheeky Actress Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Cool bit of trivia....I didn't know that Rue...Thank you. Member of "The Forsaken"
LongTom Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Yule is from the Norse word Iul meaning 'wheel', marks the death and rebirth of the Sun-God; it also marks the vanquishing of the Holly King, God of the Waning Year, by the Oak King, God of the Waxing Year. Very interesting. In the Marshfield Mummer's play (which we presented as part of this year's Christmas Revels, hopefully in not too corrupted a state), they end their performance with a song, the last verse of which is, "Round and round the Christmas King we march in wind and rain, Now, give a shout, we'll push him out! and start the year again!" Sounds like the Christmas King is the Holly King. Thanks for the perspective, Rumba!
captjacksparrowsavvvy Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Yippee...the days will be getting longer, the sun will be shining more and I can start planting my garden...oh dear, forgot, we still have to get through January and February!
'Bastian Devareaux Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Peace, health and joy to you all. Now this is what I mean when I say "Old Time Religion". One more cycle to go and Beltain shall be upon us before you can say "May Day." It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets.
