Well, I can see been something missing, life keeps me too much to leave you a few letters here and entertain.
Today I wanted to talk of Christmas, those parties that all crave, that holiday for us students and big family dinners ... but today I will talk about the Yule to you see as the attraction that makes me even more than Christmas.
The Yule celebrations are held each winter solstice. This is a Scandinavian celebration, connected with Norse mythology and Germanic elpaganismo.
Currently in pagan culture, this event has been reconstructed in many different groups, as in the case of Religion Wicca: a way to celebrate the season is through "eight solar days holidays", commonly called "Sabbats of the annual conference." 2 Yule The holidays are celebrated on the winter solstice: in the northern hemisphere, about 21 December and in the southern hemisphere, around 21 June.
People who are not familiar with Norse mythology and European paganism simply would not know the words to distinguish between Yule (Joule), Christmas and the Nativity, in a sense are synonymous and at the same time antonyms. This term use or even survive, in many Christmas songs and carols, as well as making a cake or cake called Yule log Yule log or in direct reference to a log ancestral ritual of this holiday.
The word yule still exists in a Scottish dialect, Norway, Denmark and Sweden, with the term or July Joulu in Finland. It is now generally considered the period festive fall from Christmas Eve until after the first day of the year or, especially in England, until the day of Reyes.

that are now deserted and desires of love green ...
But in the depths of their souls and bodies
still shone the Great Llama
And on this winter night
our Mother sings to us, illuminating
life, burning emotions.
