i really hesitated to post this because it's pretty personal but i'm so confused by a recent situation that i just wanna talk about it and get some feedback as to where i might have gone wrong, if anywhere.
my mom and stepdad were dining at a local restaurant two or three months ago, and the server who waited on them happened to be a girl that i went to school with from kindergarten all the way thru high school.
also, my mom had been friends with her mom.
Here's the thing, you haven't talked to her in ages. Doesnt' sound like you did anything.
So my best guess is there could be way more going on in her life. A boyfriend that's jealous, her own self doubt, anything.
If you still have her email, send her an email.
Tell her that you were happy that you had the chance to say hi, you noticed the facebook thing and hope that if there were anything you did to piss her off, that she would talk to you.
Wish her well and try not to think about it.
this is me at long meg stone circle yesterday.. blessed yule to you all.
dawn.

Yule means "feast".
Or maybe"wheel".
However, some who have studied the linguistics tell me that the association of "Yule" with "wheel" (a fond belief you will find in many places, since the words are nearly identical) is a myth. The roots of the two words have about as much similarity in Scandinavian languages as in English. According to one theory, the root word for Yule came from the aboriginal Scandinavians, and has always meant only one thing: the festival at the Winter Solstice. The word for wheel came from the Indo-Europeans who migrated to Scandinavia around 3800 BC (although they didn't even begin to use wheels until about 2500 BC!) The debate points out how ancient the word is.
For ancient Germanic and Celtic people, the impulse to celebrate solstice was the same as for their neighbors to the south -- a celebration of the cycle of nature and a reaffirmation of the continuation of life. But the style and substance of their celebrations took very different shape.
The site itself is much more indepth and this is really only a fraction of what is behind Yule.

I had one person email me after trying to get him to reason on the 'name of God' and so far I've yet to hear back with a really good reason.
There are a few good people who have had great responses, but yeah there's a number who are screaming cult and what not.

my daughter and i went to our very first yule ritual/celebration.
it was a beautiful ceremony with masks and costumes of the sun lord, white lady, and the raven of annwyn (sic?).
we witches (i'm in training) sure eat a lot of food (for grounding).
I "recognize" it. In that, I might spend a few moments outside and really just take it all in.
But everything else feels too forced and fake for me. I think it's awesome that so many are enjoying Yule festivities.
I think my holiday spirit is sort of blah anyways this year.
Who knows, maybe some of these wonderful ideas will inspire me to do more.
