Pagan Unity - Elgin December Meetup - Winter Solstice Yule Ritual & Feast

Join Pagan Unity to celebrate Yuletime and the Winter Solstice; the shortest day and longest night of the year with a ritual and potluck feast. We traditionally do a lot of singing at this ritual, so come prepared for alternative lyrics to some of your favorite Christmas Carols ;) SILENT NIGHT, SOLSTICE NIGHT Silent night, Solstice Night Silver moon shining bright Snowfall blankets the slumbering Earth Yule fires welcome the SunÂÂ's rebirth Hark, the Light is reborn Hark, the Light is reborn Silent night, Solstice Night Earth lies still, dreams shine bright Flesh and Spirit meet in the dark Spiraling deep to touch the spark Heal in WinterÂÂ's deep sleep Heal in WinterÂÂ's deep sleep We will also Crown the new-born Oak King and bid farewell to the Holly King while the Maiden, Mother and Matriarch will bless and light the Yule Log! Feel free to wear something flowing and if you have any drums or jingle bells please bring those along too!! And, since it's the longest night of the year, we'll be decorating our altar and ritual space with the light of candles, candles, candles!! Everyone will be invited to light a candle for what they personally will bring into the light of the new year during the ritual.
