12 Days of Yule; Day 9

Winter Solstice is just 4 days away! To celebrate the season, why not find a way to bring a little "Yule" into your life every day for the next 4 days?

At http://paganwiccan.about.com there is a list of 12 Days of Yule Devotionals and I think they are wonderful! I will share them here, along with my own thoughts on how you can journal on the Daily Devotions. I will also share some other Winter Holidays, traditions, and Lore to consider, which you can also choose to journal or blog about if you wish!

December 18, 2012 - Day 9

Day 9; Prayer To The Old Gods

The Holly King is gone, and the Oak King reigns -
Yule is the time of the old winter gods!
Hail to Baldur! To Saturn! To Odin!
Hail to Ameratsu! To Demeter!
Hail to Ra! To Horus!
Hail to Frigga, Minerva Sulis and Cailleach Bheur!
It is their season, and high in the heavens,
may they grant us their blessings this winter day.

My Journaling / Blogging suggestion;

What "Old Gods" and archetypes do you relate to most for the season of Yule?  Which Winter Myth attracts you the most, speaks to you the most?  If you're not sure about the different stories, do som research and find a new story that speaks to you!  Share your thoughts! 

As always, thanks for stopping by, and Happy Journaling! If you choose to post your journal on your blog, please include a link to this post, and leave a comment below with the link to your journal. If you choose to keep your journal private, that is fine too, but your comments are appreciated!
