Yule and its Songs



The Northern Hemisphere winter solstice occurs at 12:04 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time on December 21. That's 5:04 a.m. here in Colorado, perfect for the people drumming up the Sun at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. (I won't be there--too far away.)

Remember to visit Archaeoastronomy.com for all your calendrical ritual-timing needs.

You can vote on your favorite Pagan Yule song(s) here.

Ha! I clicked on that archeoastronomy link at the EXACT moment of the solstice in our time zone!!! Wonderful; and Vince Guaraldi's most excellent seasonal music is grooving on the background...

Blessings of Yule from upstate NY to you, Chas!
