La Befana
by Talitha Dragonfly [1,337 reads]
  The Thanksgiving turkey hasn’t even had time to cool down yet, and already I’m growing more and more suffocated by the constant bombardment of Christmas marketing. The stores are running monster marathon sales that go on from four in the morning until midnight. Alvin and the Chipmunks and Bing Crosby tunes assault me at every turn. Husbands are being brainwashed into believing that their wives won't love them anymore unless they buy diamonds, and... [more]
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chri... Yuletide!
by Lori Dake [Wvox Sponsor] [1,249 reads]
 One of the things I truly enjoy doing is decorating for the Holidays, and the Sunday before Thanksgiving is when I start doing my yearly ritual. It was a lot later when I was growing up, sometimes as late as Christmas Eve, because we always had a real tree, and as you all know, real trees tend to dry out and look rather Charlie Brown-ish if it’s left up too long.

 Not too long ago, a close friend asked me, “So what do you want for…. What do you call Christmas?”. It got me thinking: “What DO I call it?” I’ve run through the gamut, on every opportunity, but I’d never decided on a set term. Ever did I vacillate, varying from one conversation to the next, always choosing a different name, and depending upon the audience as to the answer. It’s not as though we have a hard and fast, universally pagan-acc... [more]

- A Reason to Be Happy: Both Sides of the Divine by PanSpiritus [333 reads]
 I suppose you could call this is a queer treatise on the divine. Yet it’s too much of the normal as well. It looks to the Union of the God and Goddess as a source of inspiration. This source of inspiration is clarified by contemplating the God and Go... [more]
