When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log and let Pan rule
I just had a little Yule celebration. Nothing much, but it made me feel good. It has also given me new religious motto: "the Goddess doesn't care." Can't find any salt but pretzel salt? The Goddess doesn't care. Don't have any mulled wine, so you have to use pear juice? The Goddess doesn't care. The apples you've cut up don't look very pretty? You guessed it: the Goddess doesn't care. Nothing I worship would be so petty, and Wicca isn't big on dogma anyway.
In the spirit of giving, how about some holiday music for you all.
I don't have Yule songs per se, but in the spirit of rebirth and renewal:
Better Things by Dar Williams. Just a song about hope and optimism. (I know, it's not like me, is it?)
Help is on the Way from my Carols for a Cure album. Not a Christmas song, just another about faith and hope.
I'm going to wait to post the Christmas songs, but here are some others.
Good King Wenceslas is not actually a Christmas song, technically. It's Christian, but only mentions the Feast of Saint Stephen, which is December 26. Anyway, this is sung by Loreena McKennitt, and it's lovely.
We are Lights is also from Carols for a Cure. It's a very pretty Hanukkah song.
The Rebel Jesus... I love this song. I adore it. It's lovely to listen to, but the lyrics are what capture me. Download it. Listen to it. Maybe you won't fall in love like I did, but I doubt you'll be sorry.
And, finally, The Christians and the Pagans by Dar Williams. A song about love and acceptance. But it's also fun.
I feel like a dork.
