Winter Solstice - History & Traditions - a podcast by Trex

Welcome back to Hoof and Horn - A Witch's Podast! *** In this episode, Braxis, Samuel and Tamrha talk about the history of Winter Solstice celebrations in European cultures including Saturnalia, Juul, Alban Arthan, St. Lucia's Day, and the Moltron Festival - and in non-European cultures including Dongzhi, Shab-e Yalda, Santo Thomas festival and Soyal. *** Later, the trio discuss ways modern Witches and Pagans can celebrate the Sabbat as well as the ephemera of the holiday, such as trees, ornaments, lights, the Yule log and why Witches and Pagans should really stop saying that Christians stole Pagan customs for the Christmas holiday. *** Music in this episode by Sharon Knight and T.
