Beautiful presentation and thanks for your thoughts on this dear subject of mine. As a Witch I observe things in Nature that can help explain so many things about life if we just take the time to be humble observers of Earth and Nature, we are a part of. I would like to give you just one example of what I understand about life from observing a tree. It addresses everything you just talked about and hope this perspective can help people understand the forces of Nature and how Light and Darkness mixes in perfect unity for precious life to continue. A tree needs light from our Sun to help with Photosynthesis so it can produce food and energy for it's survival, so light is a necessary product for the tree's survival. However, this beneficial and critical light is also deadly to the tree's life since it contains harmful Ultraviolet Rays that can damage the tree's cells. That is one reason roots are critical to a tree's survival because it is buried in the darkness of Earth to shield it from the harmful rays of the sun. The darkness is also where critical water and nutrients from the ground are necessary for the tree's survival. So, in this instance both light and darkness are just a part of the forces of Nature that works together in order for our tree to survive! Some religions have trouble with the concept of reincarnation that leaves can explain beautifully. Leaves begin to form in the Spring and returning abundance of light from the Sun to give life to the tree from Spring to Fall from the leaf to help the tree receive the energy it needs during it's life cycle. When Summer turns to fall a death cycle begins in the tree where the leaves brown and die while falling to the ground to help blanket the tree during the coming cold months of Winter. When Spring arrives, the leaves that died acted as fertilizer to the tree so it can recycle into new leaves that begin to form so the tree can wake back up to receive the food it needs during it's Winters death slumber. This constant cycle of life, death and recycle is part of Nature that happens in every living life force of our planet in one form or another so that is why I don't see death as the end. It is just a transition from life to death back to life again in everything we see. I hope this short description helps people better understand the important roles both light and darkness plays in Nature for life to continue and how Nature continually recycles itself that is necessary for life's survival. Thanks once again for your channel to help demystify Paganism, so other religions can understand our ways and not feel compelled to demonize it out of fear, because of not understanding our ways.

Most people have heard the story about how the ancient Germanic people brought evergreen trees into their houses around Winter Solstice (Germanic ‘Yule’) and typically hung them upside down from rafters. It leaves us with images of a Viking long house bedecked with several trees hanging from the rafters while those gathered inside made merry with fire, feasting and mead. Except that never happened. There is no historical evidence from any of the eddas or sagas or any writings, that offer a shred of historical evidence to support the idea that pagan Germanic peoples brought evergreen trees into their homes at Yule or had a concept of a yule log or something similar. Yule, for the ancient Germanic people, typically referred to the Winter Solstice and yes, celebrations were certainly held around that time. Yule was subsequently placed on 25 December by King Haakon the Good in the 10th century AD to coincide with Christmas. This goes back to the early historian Snorri Sturluson, and his book "Heimskringla: History of the Kings of Norway." Snorri says before this, “Yule was celebrated on a midwinter night (the Winter Solstice), and for a duration of three nights". He gives no specific dates, but St. Bede in “The reckoning of Time,” opined the Northmen calculated their seasons according to the cycles of the moon, so the date of Yule probably changed every year to align with the Winter Solstice. Pliny the elder also says the Gallic tribes calculated their months according to the moon. Last, according to the Chronicler, Theitmar, the Danes sacrificed to pagan gods in January after the 6th. So, again, we clearly see that Yule kind of gets moved around. Yule Logs do not go back to paganism, despite the name. Yule (Anglo-Saxon "geol") is also an English word to mean "mid-winter period." The first mention of yule logs is in Robert Herrick’s, "Hesperides” a poetry collection, and he calls it a Christmas log. It wasn't called a yule log until Aubrey's work “In the West-Riding of Yorkshire on Christmas Eve” which dates to 1686. So, the Yule Log is really a more recent concept and has zero connections back to some pagan antecedent. Many people associate mistletoe, ivy and holly with the ancient Celts as all three plants were held as sacred in Druidism. Thus, they opine, their inclusion in Christmas is pagan. Again, historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. The first mention of mistletoe in connection with Christmas goes back to only the 1600’s. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe comes even later, the end of the 1700’s. Again, no ties to an ancient pagan past. The origins of Christmas trees are rooted in present-day Germany and date to the 15th century. The first mention of Christmas trees is in an Alsace ordinance in 1561. Almost no early Germanic pagans thought pine trees were sacred, let alone associated with Christmas. Germanic tribes believed the oak was sacred, not the evergreen tree. The Christmas tree morphed over from so-called paradise trees. There were many allegorical-type plays done in the Middle Ages at various markets. One such play was called the Paradise Play, performed to celebrate the feast day of Adam and Eve, which fell on Christmas Eve. In the dead of winter, not a lot of trees are available, so the “tree of knowledge” was represented by an evergreen fir with apples tied to its branches. There is documentation of trees decorated with wool thread, straw, apples, nuts and pretzels. After the play, the treats would be eaten. The practice eventually gave way to having trees in the house at Christmas. In 1419 for example, a guild in Freiburg put up a tree decorated with apples, flour-paste wafers, tinsel and gingerbread. These eventually gave way to modern ornaments. The Christmas tree is not historically attested any earlier than this time period. Candles on trees date to the late 1400’s and are also originally a German custom. They have zero connection to paganism - same with ornaments and tinsel. Tinsel was originally thin bands of silver hung from the tree to catch the candlelight. Let's look at another myth - It is often claimed that Óðinn/Odin was believed by the Norse to bring presents for children at Jól/Yule, but no one seems to be able to cite a single source of historical evidence to support this claim. The reason being is very simple.....there is none. Óðinn is primarily associated with Jól through his epithet Jólnir, which means “the Yuler” or “the One Who Yules.” This epithet is attested in the very old skaldic poem Háleygjatal, composed in the late tenth century CE by the skaldic poet Eyvindr Skáldaspillir. There are over eighty different names for Óðinn attested in the surviving Old Norse sources and Jólnir is merely one of these many names. Additionally, although the epithet Jólnir certainly indicates that Óðinn was associated with the holiday of Jól in some way, it does not explain the nature of this association. It certainly does not even remotely suggest in any way that any Norse person during the early Middle Ages ever thought that Óðinn might have brought people presents at Jól. Many Old Norse sources, including the Saga of Hákon the Good, written by the Icelandic antiquarian Snorri Sturluson (lived 1179 - 1241), suggest that Jól was a time when people drank toasts to various deities. Many historians speculate that Óðinn may have simply been the main deity to whom people drank toasts at Jól and that this may be the reason for his association with the holiday. This bit of misinformation (the Odin and Santa Claus connection) seems to have originated as a backformation based on the pre-existing assumption that Santa Claus has been influenced by Óðinn. Since Santa Claus is said to bring presents to children at Christmas today and people already assumed Santa has been influenced by Óðinn, they concluded that Óðinn must have brought presents in midwinter as well, despite there being zero historical evidence attesting this. In short, there is zero historic evidence that Óðinn ever gave gifts at Jól. Many people also point to Odin’s horse, Sleipnir, as the source for Santa’s flying reindeer. This is completely implausible. For one thing, in Norse mythology, Sleipnir was an eight-legged horse, not a reindeer. Furthermore, Odin was always imagined riding on Sleipnir’s back, not riding in a sleigh/wagon pulled by him. There is also an association of mistletoe, ivy and holly with the ancient Celts as all three plants were held as sacred in Druidism. Thus, people opine, their inclusion in Christmas is pagan in origin. Again, historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. The first mention of mistletoe in connection with Christmas goes back to only the 1600’s. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe comes even later, the end of the 1700’s. Again, no ties to an ancient pagan past. Christmas Carols themselves are indeed quite ancient - some of the first ones can be traced to 4th century Rome - these were all sung in Latin. Secular carols first started appearing around the 1400’s - the custom of singing them going door to door comes from English wassailing (Wassail is from the Anglo-Saxon “wês hâl - be (thou) healthy! (hâl is modern English “hale”)). A custom of going around wishing everyone health for the new year - typically in exchange for a cup of waissail - a mulled alcoholic punch (think German Glühwein or Scandinavian glög). Though mentioned in Beowulf and in the Anglo-Saxon account of the Battle of Hastings, it doesn’t necessarily equate to a “pagan” custom, at least not a religious one - you’re just toasting someone wishing them good health and singing songs to celebrate the season; not sure I necessarily see that as inherently “pagan”. Kind of pushes the envelope.
@soultarotwitchcraftАй бұрын
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thought-provoking comment! I really appreciate the effort you’ve put into presenting historical sources and perspectives. I’d like to respond to a few of your points because while you raise some valid issues, I believe there’s room for a more nuanced discussion. Evergreen Trees and Yule Traditions: You’re absolutely right that there’s no direct evidence in the eddas or sagas to suggest that ancient Germanic people brought entire evergreen trees into their homes or hung them upside down from rafters. That part is more myth than fact. However, the use of evergreen branches, wreaths, and garlands to symbolize resilience and eternal life during midwinter is well-documented in Pagan traditions. While the Christmas tree as we know it evolved much later, the symbolic reverence for evergreens during Yule is part of a broader shared cultural archetype. The Yule Log: I agree that the term "Yule log" as we know it today originates from more recent times, such as Robert Herrick’s Hesperides. However, fire rituals and the burning of logs during midwinter celebrations were significant in many Pagan cultures, including Germanic traditions. These fires symbolized light and warmth during the darkest part of the year and were deeply tied to Yule’s themes of rebirth and renewal. So while the modern Yule log may not directly trace back to pre-Christian practices, it certainly draws inspiration from older midwinter fire rituals. Mistletoe, Holly, and Ivy: You make a good point about the tradition of kissing under mistletoe only emerging in the 1700s, but mistletoe’s sacred status among Druids and other ancient cultures is well-documented. It was used in ceremonies to symbolize healing and fertility, and this reverence likely influenced its later adoption into Christmas customs. Similarly, holly and ivy were revered in both Celtic and Roman traditions, with holly in particular being associated with Saturnalia. These connections don’t mean the modern use of these plants is purely Pagan, but they do suggest a lineage of symbolic meaning. Odin and Santa Claus: The connection between Odin and Santa Claus is indeed speculative, but it’s based on comparative mythology rather than direct evidence. Odin’s epithet “Jólnir” ties him to Yule, and the imagery of him riding through the skies with Sleipnir has parallels to Santa’s reindeer. While there’s no historical evidence that Odin gave gifts, the blending of folklore and mythology over centuries likely contributed to the modern Santa Claus legend. It’s not a direct one-to-one correlation, but rather an example of how older traditions can influence new ones. The Evolution of Christmas Traditions: I completely agree with your point that many of today’s Christmas customs, like decorated trees and caroling, evolved during the Middle Ages and Renaissance rather than being directly inherited from Pagan practices. That said, the symbolic roots of these traditions often trace back to pre-Christian midwinter celebrations. For example, wassailing, the use of evergreens, and midwinter feasting share common themes with earlier Pagan practices, even if the forms we recognize today are more recent. Yule as a Moving Holiday: You’re absolutely correct that Yule wasn’t tied to a fixed calendar date but often aligned with the Winter Solstice, following lunar cycles. King Haakon’s decision to align Yule with Christmas is a fascinating example of cultural syncretism. It shows how older Pagan celebrations were adapted and recontextualized within Christian frameworks, which is precisely why so many parallels exist between Yule and Christmas today. I really value your perspective and agree with several of your points, especially the need for accuracy when discussing history. At the same time, I think it’s important to acknowledge that cultural traditions are rarely static. They evolve, merge, and adapt over time. The absence of direct historical evidence for certain practices doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t exist or weren’t influential. Instead, it highlights the complexities of tracing the origins of customs that have been passed down and reshaped over millennia. Thank you again for contributing to this discussion-it’s always a pleasure to dive deeper into the history of these fascinating traditions. I hope my response clarifies my perspective, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Blessed be!

Hi. I'm a new witch. Actually I'm a new witch in this lifetime and forgot everything since I was born 72 years ago. I was given oracle cards about herbs. I love the artwork but don't know how to use them. How do I know what kind of tarot cards to buy?

It’s wonderful that you're connecting with oracle cards, especially ones about herbs-such a beautiful way to connect with nature! To use them, start by tuning into your intuition. Let the artwork speak to you, and don’t worry too much about a specific ‘rule’. For tarot cards, choose a deck that resonates with you, whether it's the artwork, themes, or energy you feel when you hold them. There are so many different types-some focus on traditional symbolism, while others may be more modern or intuitive. Trust your gut, and if a deck calls to you, it’s probably the right one! Feel free to reach out if you want more tips on connecting with your cards.

Welcome to the world of witchcraft! 💜 Witchcraft can be a beautiful way to support your mental health journey. Rituals, like meditations, candle magic, or working with crystals and herbs, can provide a sense of calm and empowerment. They often help you connect with yourself and set intentions for healing and growth. That said, it's important to remember that witchcraft complements mental health care but doesn’t replace professional help. Combining rituals with therapy or other treatments can be a powerful way to nurture your well-being.

Great question! While there isn't a specific deity explicitly tied to dementia, many deities across various traditions are associated with healing, wisdom, and mental clarity. These deities could be called upon for support in dealing with dementia or easing the challenges it brings: Deities like Brigid, Saraswati, or Thoth, known for healing and wisdom, might offer support through rituals. While witchcraft can bring comfort and intention, it’s also important to seek professional care for dementia. Let me know if you'd like simple ritual ideas!
