Sickly Psycho For the holidays that are not always celebrated on the same day, how do we know when to celebrate them? I'm sure it has to do with the first day of that season I'm just not sure. Oh, another question that's been bothering me for a long time. On the other side of the world it's summer when it's winter here, but the month is the same. So, if it's December here it's December there. Do the holidays switch there so we're celebrating summer and they are celebrating winter or do they just rejoice in Beltane for their winter? eek Eep. They are six months different. So if you live in the Southern Hemisphere then you celebrate Yule on June 21st-23rd (Depending on the winter solstice date). In the northern you celebrate Yule December 21st-23rd. ninja

I am so glad that I live in the northorn hemisphere and that I don't have to worry about that stuff ^.^. Oh I was wondering how Everyone here pronounced Samhain? Since I'm solitary and most everything I learn comes from reading Im just slightly confused on that part.

It can be pronounced either...Sow ween or Sow wane. In my path, we just celebrate the Soltices and equinoxes. Unless invited to a Sabbat celebrated by a neighboring coven.

YULE: Winter Solstice, Yuletide (Teutonic), Alban Arthan (Caledonii), falls around December 21st. Being a solstice, this is the shortest day (and longest night) of the year.
Yule coincides closely with the Christian Christmas celebration. This sabbat represents the rebirth of light. Here, on the longest night of the year, the Goddess gives birth to the Sun child and hope for new light is reborn. Yule is a time of awakening to new goals and leaving old regrets behind. The Christian tradition of a Christmas tree has its origins in the Pagan Yule celebration. Pagan families would bring a live tree into the home so the wood spirits would have a place to keep warm during the cold winter months. Bells were hung in the limbs so you could tell when a spirit was present. Food and treats were hung on the branches for the spirits to eat and a five pointed star, the pentagram, symbol of the five elements, was placed atop the tree. The colours of the season, red and green, are also of Pagan origin. A solar festival, Yule is celebrated by fire and the use of a Yule log. A piece of the log is saved and kept throughout the year to protect the home. That piece is used to light the next year's log.
