With the holidays approaching, a double announcement is in place. First of all, Uma's new blog: North of the Moon (www.northofthemoon.com), exploring spirituality, old Nordic and European pagan traditions, the ancient Scandinavian-Aryan connection, and the general mysteries of life.
Second, a series of articles on the Old Yule, the pagan and Aryan predecessor to Christmas, glossing the age-old midwinter festival of fertility and new birth, the Yule observances, the Tree of World, the original Father Yule and a host of angels, goblins and others of old yet remembered. First in the series:
Old Yule 1: The Mother and the Deadly Midwinter: http://www.northofthemoon.com/2008/12/old-yule-1-mother-and-deadly-midwinter.html
And good Yule and a happy new year to all!
