Blessings of the Season to You
I have been remiss in adding to my blog here. I have been around. Participated in some very cool Yule rituals
performed in my local area. Meaningful and exciting as well. Some people don't take too well to Witches and Pagans
residing in Virginia. Even in slightly more progressive northern end of state, aka Northern Virginia...there are people
who are hostile. But despite some veiled threats, Yule went as planned, in the circle in the north end of Occoquan.
There were as many as 30 people present, calling upon their patron dieties, spirit guides, totem animals, and deceased loved
ones to attend the rites of Yule. The spirits of the town were called as well. It was an awesome ritual, with
a battle between the Oak and Holly Kings. You will be glad to know that Oak prevailed. :-)
Well, that is it for this evening. Blessings to you.

Here is a little bit about me. I am a 45 year old Witch from Virginia. I've been practicing Wicca for about
16 years now. Yes, all is well. :-) I live in a nice condo by a river, I own two cats and a cockatiel. I
am interested in tarot, ouija, scrying of all kinds, Salem, MA., which I hope to visit soon, among other interests.
I have a website that is called Candles at Midnight - Salem Drake's Wiccan Resource Pages. I hope to make this
site an extension of my main site, and yet be a unique page with other items of interest for the witch, wiccan, and pagan
community.
Come back often and watch this website grow and change.
Love and Blessings,
Salem
