19 Secrets About...
Created by @madamsaturn, Instagram, Sources
Aries
🔥 Born to lead - They do this not out of ego, but out of their natural gift. They lead people on a common path and easily take the leadership role when they see that no one is playing that role.
🔥 Calm in danger – Want to finally see a calm Aries? Put they in a situation of stress and danger. At those times they put their attention and intelligence to work and don’t just stay in action. Ruled by Mars, war is their true field and not the same thing as everyday life.
🔥 Refined sense of humor – They raise the energy of the place and for that they do it through jokes too. Their sense of humor can also be different, accepting jokes with your appearance and manner when they are made by people closest to them.
🔥 They have a unique style – They like to show themselves through their appearance, so they also look for something in which they can stand out. Like to use a more hardcore cut there is always to use a piece of dark green tone, it doesn’t matter, it needs to be recognized by a brand of its own.
🔥 Rebels by nature – Don’t try to tell Aries what to do as they will find an argument to do it their own way. If you’re not Aries and you’re reading this, learn to “eat around the edges” speak indirectly and softly so they’ll change their minds, because if you’re going to face head-on you’re lost.
🔥 Honest extreme - Something they hate is a lie and that’s why they always seek to kill the evil from it’s root, speak the truth soon instead of getting bored with what you need, this is one of their mottos.
🔥 Loyal – You’ve probably heard that the fire and air signs aren’t loyal at all, but it’s more of a lie. Aries want to have burning bonds with their loved ones and try to be always present in their lives, when something bad happens they try to fix it, when it’s over, it’s over.
🔥 Opinionated – They strive to be heard in situations they witness, not being themselves when they let something happen in front of them without a finger of their action.
🔥 They can be sweet, just like a nightmare - They tend to be very sweet and polite, but change moods very quickly when they feel hurt.
🔥 Competitive – Unsurprisingly they are competitive, but it needs to be remembered as well. Aries can change where they are, even if it’s something comfortable, if it doesn’t mess with their competitive spirit, they change places.
🔥 Sensitive heart - They are very emotional when it comes to the heart and that’s why they are sensitive in their relationships, they go all out when it comes to having an intimate bond with people. That’s why when they break up they don’t get involved again for a while.
🔥 Not liking to wait – Okay… Was that a secret for anyone? Now games aside. They don’t expect no, especially if the reason for the delay has NO explanation at all. More than 15 min and they’re gone.
🔥 They do a lot of activities – If the whole world had complementary activities in schools, then I could say that all Aries do it. But as there isn’t… I just stay in, if they could, they would. A bit like Gemini, Aries like having more than one thing to do in their routine and living just going home and going to work is the terror.
🔥 They don’t like routine – Already in line with the above, they don’t like routine at all. Neither in life nor in love, they need something new and something to do. From time to time, let your Aries friend take a tour itinerary.
🔥 Don’t Disguise Feelings - Just as they don’t like lies… They don’t lie about anything either, not even feelings. If they don’t like it, they don’t like it, period. They even manage to disguise their face, but if they get close, they’ll take away the good guy’s facade right away.
🔥 Learn Fast - Being hot and being dumb is not synonymous, in reality, Aries rules the head and therefore their minds also do not stop like any other air sign, but they use it for assimilation of information. Usually, they are those who have a very well-defined type of intelligence, as they feel an affinity with it, such as mathematical or motor intelligence.
🔥 They have a distorted view of themselves – Mainly about their body and appearance, sometimes it’s for more, sometimes for less. The appearance of an Aries is very important to him, but even so, they can’t see what they really are.
🔥 Keep secrets well – When they like someone and that person confided something to them, they won’t be talking around, for them truth and trust is something essential and that’s why they won’t be talking about the lives of others if it was agreed to do so. Furthermore, they are the kind of people who carry with them “there are some things that no one needs to know about”.
🔥 Have difficulty opening up – Mainly in the love and intimate field, this goes against the popular belief that in this branch Aryans are more relaxed, but in fact they only let go when they feel confident.
Taurus
🌼 Seek peace – Have you ever seen an ox eating in the pasture? It is the incarnation of peace and this is what Taurus seeks, they always want to live in that moment of tranquility and that is why they refrain from conflict so they can stay in their quiet corner.
🌼 Independents and entrepreneurs – They are very direct in their goals and seek to know more in the areas they believe will be successful, Taurus are those who go after their own financial stability.
🌼 Great advisors - If you are a Pisces would love to hear advice from a bull. Always down to earth, they see things realistically and often speak what is real and not the illusion their listener wants to hear.
🌼 They are attracted by trust and stability – That’s not even a secret anymore, right. But it’s good to remember. They enjoy being together with people who are not there for the sake of it, but who want to support each other and grow together.
🌼 They are not patient – ​​Earth signs have an incredible relationship with their own time, but not necessarily those of others, right. They hate to wait for the decision and arrival of others, their schedules are valuable and they don’t like to waste sitting for others.
🌼 They only attack when attacked – Do you think the bull symbol is this why? When they feel threatened they go for the direct attack and want to do everything to get the enemy out of the way.
🌼 Direct – They are practical even in words. They speak well so they only have to speak once and look for people with good communication to have that part of life flow smoothly too.
🌼 Extremely stubborn - They can be more flexible in everyday life to have a more harmonious life, but even so they can not stop being the kings of stubbornness.
🌼 They do everything for those they love – When they get involved with someone they move mountains to see the good of that person, besides enjoying giving gifts, their biggest treats are spending time together.
🌼 They live for safety – Everything for them needs to be planned and they hate surprises, I think their nightmare is a surprise party. When others say that Taurus could change his plan, he gets really angry.
🌼 Realistic and responsible - If not for the order, they would certainly be the ones who would reign their feet and not Pisces, because they are extremely feet on the ground. This is also known for being more pessimistic, as their realism is standard.
🌼 Rise Up - Toughs by nature, no matter how many times you put them down, Taurus get up. The important thing here is to reinvent yourself, some always think of a new plan for the same goal, while others can be very stubborn and always try the same thing.
🌼 Loyal – Gaining trust is hard! And they get loose little by little. When they do that, they want that chosen person to be as loyal as they are.
🌼 Nonsense sensor – When they say something nonsense or lie near Taurus, he feels it. The reason is your sixth sense. They just feel when someone is being too naughty.
🌼 Your love comes with confidence - You can only surrender to love after you are safe and confident with it. So love at first sight is not something from the Taurus world. Your romances take much longer than 3 months to start.
🌼 They get extremely bad with betrayals - This also applies to breakup. They enter a more depressing moment in their lives and are slow to turn around.
🌼 Frustrated with Indecision - If they could take action for the indecisive person, he did. They don’t like those on the fence.
🌼 Sophistication - Ruled by Venus they always look for comfort and beauty, there is no greater and fantastic reason behind it. They just want it.
��� Timeless romantics – In romance, they prefer to have that step-by-step first and second date, talk about common interests and do things more calmly. In addition to not liking it when the other’s love for them is very explicit. They like to take this whole side with sophistication.

Capricorn
⌛ They have a practical mind - Capricorns have no turns in their line of reasoning, they are direct in their thinking, so a counselor who will not be measuring words with you is Capricorn.
⌛ Keep information for a longer time - even if they learned in pre-school on that subject, they will still keep a little, Capricorns are not to forget the information they collect since they are very related to time and the best way to use it.
⌛ Hate lazy people - something that Capricorns hate is someone lazy for two reasons, the first is that he cannot count on this person for anything and everything will be his responsibility and the second is that this lazy person may want to ask for some service from this native and he will promptly say “no”.
⌛ Read minds - they pay close attention to gestures not spoken by people, body expressions are very well perceived and with those who have more time together, the intonation and way of speaking will be perceived and will communicate more with the Capricorn than the words themselves.
⌛ They can be tough with words - they don’t talk much and when they try they are as practical as possible so as not to cause problems, but when they are out of patience they throw out some truths that the others don’t even want to touch.

⌛ They don’t like games - emotional games are a waste of time for them, they like direct and frank sincerity, if you ask the Capricorn for something you send a message like: “hello, good morning, I need xxx”, believe me, they will thank you.
⌛ They do not forgive easily - governed by Saturn, time lord, what happened now for them is not just a moment, it is forever, the timeline is not something straight, it is a lemniscate and that will be repeated in their memory for ever.
⌛ They like quality - everything for them is better quality, friendships and objects are much more worked with time to have a better quality than consumed quickly to have a greater quantity.
⌛ Independent - something that the Capricorn detests is depending on someone to do something, since young people learn everything they think is necessary to survive alone and if someone is missing they can move on without problems.
⌛ They are emotionally strong - the Capricorn’s emotions come and are already instantly held to be discussed later with themselves, they are their great therapists and will always analyze what was felt and why to have a better quality of life.
⌛ They learn languages ​​with ease - it’s not just their rationale that ask for independence, their soul also cries out for it and that’s why they easily learn any language they think is necessary to be able to live anywhere in the world.
⌛ Great investigators - they don’t look for things, but when they doubt something or someone they go after the information to find out what’s going on, if there is something behind the scenes they will save this weapon for more private moments.
⌛ Reserved - they do not open easily to people and even after opening they still ask for time alone, Capricorns cherish the quality that time can bring to a friendship like a wine, and it takes the same thing with the quality of time that they take with them, learning with each passing year how to have a better relationship with themselves.
⌛ They like routine - they like to have a routine to have something controlled in their lives, at the beginning of their lives they will have difficulty following a pattern and will escape a lot of it, but when they grow up and mainly leave home, they create everyday patterns that remind them home.

⌛ They hide secrets - a Capricorn will always have a secret that he does not reveal to anyone, it may be something simpler like a soap opera, but they need it because it is what gives them a more spicy flavor in their lives.

🐚 They like what is different - they are attracted to what is different, this is their nature, be it fashion or ideas, Aquarius will look for different plastic artists, more special clothing brands to be able to settle down and be a loyal customer of just one thing that they believe a lot, and not keep changing their ideals according to fashion.
🐚 They are stylish - this is inherent to them, at first (young) they do it on purpose but when they mature, they do it because they hold on to what they like and will not change according to fashion, they use pieces of the season to combine with their guard -clothing and not because it is fashionable or because the price is too low.
🐚 Creative mind - they have the soul of an artist and the need for creation, so in addition to seeking many different truths, they need to have a unique form of expression, so don’t be surprised to see an Aquarius hairdresser, makeup artist, writer, they love to create.
🐚 They have a hidden side - they don’t say everything they like and think because they always want to show the side they think is best and that will be more harmonious with society, even though many speak of the need to cause chaos for Aquarius, they always show the side of what people need and not what they really are, so it’s very normal for you to see the Aquarius doing an activity that you would never think he would do.
🐚 They give the best - to society they always give the best of themselves, their brightest and most humanitarian side, but when they are not feeling willing to be positive that day they isolate themselves until they ��go back to normal”, so it is super normal if your Aquarius friend gives that cell phone away, they will only answer you when they feel fit for it.
🐚 They are selective - at first the Aquarius will talk deeply with you, but it is a test to know your common points and your character, if after that they have no affinity with you, you will only be a colleague to greet, but you will not be their friend.
🐚 The Aquarius energy - they like to see others well and that is why they always raise the mood of the situation, for those who like it they does not hold praise and always speaks whenever they wants.

🐚 They are connected to sounds - mainly music, the person who lives on the phone listening to something is probably a Aquarius , they are those people who have a soundtrack for each phase of life and their senses will involve the sound.
🐚 They are terrible liars - they just can’t do it, as they always seek the truth, they can’t speak the lie and that is why they often get “beaten” for having said what they really thought, consequently they easily detect the lies of others.
🐚 They play with everything - some will find it strange and get away saying that they are not polite, but they take everything more lightly and are kings of sarcasm, so they can’t handle a joke in the middle of the tense situation.
🐚 They love to ask - they are very curious and cannot see an opportunity to learn more going by in front of them, if they have the openness to ask and deepen on the subject they will.

🐚 They seek positivism - Aquarius always try to make the best of the situation and people, so they will always see the reason for what happened because of the other person’s vision and put less blame on the back of others.
🐚 They know how to receive criticism - if you received a “no” from an Aquarius when criticizing it was for two reasons, or you haven’t known them for a long time or them doesn’t see you as an authority on the subject, Aquarius know that others will be able to see details that they they do not get and seek help from those who trust for advice, especially in the love field.
🐚 They are magical beings - they have a different energy, they like to connect with the spiritual and with nature because they feel the need to clean themselves of human connections from time to time, they are very affected by others energy, so they resort to several spiritualistic practices.
🐚 Magic hands - this is certainly the most curious, Aquarius are people who are tactile and sensitive to touch, so they have a lot of energy in their hands and can develop techniques such as reiki and massage very easily and are nice in that.
Pisces
🦄 They stand out - due to their style and desire to see beauty in the world, they tend to dress in different clothes and details, standing out naturally by their look at the details.
🦄 Underestimate me - Pisces love a challenge, they say they run away from a competitive environment, but they like experiences that make them grow and be better, so they are not afraid of a little competition, after all they are wrapped in the signs of Aquarius and Aries who also love a challenge.
🦄 Maternal and paternal instinct - Pisces like to take care of people like a mother or father, usually they wish to have a child, so it is almost like prior training for them.
🦄 I will ignore you for the rest of my life - this is how Pisces forgive, leaving everything behind, so they forget what happened but also want to totally forget the presence of someone or a situation, so if you fight with a Pisces, they hardly ever comes back .
🦄 Don’t give me too little - Pisces are very demanding in their relationship and work, having a Pisces boss is having someone who charges you a lot of productivity, they will talk to you about your problems but they won’t take it easy on you.
🦄 Golden friends - they are very observant and helpful to their friends, even though the friend often needs to ask him directly, but if they ask for them they are already ready for service. They test people, since we saw before that they do not forgive, so if it seems too distant to you you probably have not passed the test.
🦄 Anxiety award - like their water brothers, they have a lot of anxiety, they think too much before situations happen so as not to make mistakes, but as they have practicality with the emotional, in the mental world things reach them more, that is, think too much about situations affect them too much.
🦄 They only believe when feeling - they only start to get involved in a new truth when they feel that in their skin, you can explain a series that you love, but they need to feel to talk about whether it is good or not, same thing with religion, ideals … they need to get emotionally involved to get deeper into it.
🦄 I have lived many lives - in the line of spirituality, the sign of Pisces represents the last reincarnation of that soul, so they have this feeling of having lived more lives than that, in addition to having more deja vus than the others. Because they have this feeling of having been a lot of people, they find it easy to learn about what they want.
🦄 I am hard to love - they test people too much to know if they are worthy of receiving their heart, they need the person to be true to them, but as they are passionate about love, they sometimes delude themselves to finally take that step.
🦄 Wants you to win - Pisces cheer for their friends to win, they envision what is best for each other and want the other to feel good.
🦄 No drama - I know they talk about the drama of this sign, but they are more dramatic because of the pain of the other than their own, usually leaving them under the carpet, they feel the needs of the less privileged and so they do the drama for them and not for themselves.
🦄 Discreet planning - what they want they don’t like to reveal to others, has the phrase “if you tell others it spoils and doesn’t work”, so when they finally put in the initiative to do an action, they don’t put much out, leaving more on paper to go on planning until they think it’s right.
🦄 Give me space - they need their time alone, just like 12º house, they want to spend time thinking to reflect and improve and for taking time off to return to their circles of friends.
🦄 Thinking machines - even if they are water, they do not stop planning what they are going to do, just as they are afraid of hurting the feelings of others, they are also afraid of hurting their, so they are also always planning how they will speak and how will defend themselves when it appears to be a discussion.
🦄 “I don’t have any Secrets” - that’s what every Pisces wants to pass on, they want to show themselves as very simple and open people, that’s why they say that they are an open book and that they don’t keep secrets, but in fact they do.
🦄 Self-advocates - as mentioned above, they don’t like to be touched in their wounds, so there are always arguments for a discussion to separate the “me” with the problem to be solved, making the issue that surrounds them sometimes be seen in third person and not in first person, as if they were talking about someone else.
🦄 Sensitive - this you will see everywhere, but it is true, they have natural sensitivity, that is passive, which develops naturally and therefore they tend to seek a more spiritual line to understand this universe
🦄 I bite myself with jealousy - they are super protective and want to take care of the loved one, they take the mentioned sensitivity to feel how people are hovering around their loved one to keep an eye on, the bad thing is that they don’t like to take that side and they don’t deal well with that feeling.

Branches of Spirit work
Spirit work is a broaaad term and there’s been many disputes about it so I decided to organize a list. If there’s a specific branch of spirit work that isn’t on the list, please do message me and some info on it! or correct me if I got some parts wrong!
RELIGIOUS: Working with an entity or figure associated with a specific religion. This can include the worship of a deity depending on the person.  Some examples include the Abrahamic God, Joan of Arc, Greek Gods, etc. 
SPIRIT COMPANIONSHIP: Working with spirits bought from a companion store, usually binded to a vessel. Great for beginners because the vessels make it easier for the human companion to connect to their energy.  This is NOT slavery nor is the spirit forced into it. It’s all consent. 
ANIMAL: Works with animals, living or dead. This could be for reconnecting to a once living being, deep appreciation for all animals and/or animal deities. Some examples are dogs, cats, birds, wolves, etc. 
POP CULTURE: Works with living entities from a fictional realm coming from a book, movie, anime, etc. They are conversed as energy being put into the idea of them, creating their own realm and able to access. 
ARS GOETIA DEMONS: Where the whole, demon summoning archetype came from. Works one or more of the 72 demons from the grimoire, Lesser Key of Solomon. Some may or may not consider this “Hell”. 
ANGELS: Works or worships angelic spirits. They are often described with large feathery wings or halos. Often works underneath God(or similarly) but does not have to be Abrahamic or religiously tied. Examples are Shinigami(death angels), Fallen. 
VAMPIRES: Works with vampires, usually Psy or Sanguine. Psy vampires feed off the energy of humans to sustain life while Sanguine vampires are the ‘dracula’ archetype. They do not need blood but some offer raw meat as an offering but does feed off the human when eating meat. 
FAE: Works or communicates with faes (also fay, fae; from faery, faerie, “realm of the fays”). Fae is a type of mythical being or legendary creature in European folklore, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural or preternatural. Usually known as an umbrella term that covers many species. 
DRAGONS: Works with dragons. Period. Usually known as a legendary creature,  typically scaled or fire-spewing; with serpentine, reptilian and avian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures. European and Chinese dragons are the most commonly known. 
ELF: Works with an elf or a community of elves. Elves are mythical creature of various origins that is usually regarded as a good being that helps to make trees and nature good. Described to a taller human with long, pointy ears. Also considered very beautiful creatures. 
ANCESTRAL: Works with spirits/those who have passed within their bloodline. Some may even work outside their bloodline with respect and permission from the ghost/human spirit. 
CULTURAL: Works with spirits within their own culture or tied to their religion. Example of cultural spirits are yokai, Japanese demons. 
HELL: Works with demons or spirits with relations to Hell. May or may not have relations to Goetia demons, depending on the individual spirit. Spirits may include hellhounds, lowborn demons, hellcats, etc.
DEATH: Works with the dead aka ghosts, those who have passed recently or awhile ago, helps the dead move on/guide them to dead. Also called a psychopomp. 
MEDIUMSHIP: While they do work with ghosts, they have more purposes than helping the dead move on. Some functions include relying a message to the living, helping reconnect loose ends, etc. Thank you to @pathlesspagan!

Rising Signs
Rising sign is the cusp of your first house. It sets the tone for the rest of your houses, as well as adds a gloss coating to the individual birth chart as a whole. In essence, Rising sign is the tip of the glacier for the whole person. It’s what the person may show as a default for meeting new people. It also may show what people assume about the native at first glance.
Aries Risings gives the air of Independence. They may have fast, quick movements. They may take risks and be the doers. The first in line, type of ambition. May get scars from reckless adventures. Give the vibe of being brave, and standing up for themselves. True to who they are as a person, and genuine in what they want for themselves. Mars rulership gives them the passion for them to go out and achieve their desires.
Taurus Risings tends to be grounding. Venus gifts them with a natural taste for beauty, fashion, or admiration of the arts in relation to body. Artistic with self in the world. May lean towards natural care or food products. May have an apparent appreciation for music or nature. Possible slow but mindful movements. Can be calming, and give off a “chill” vibe. Doey features, gaze and/or eyes that reflect the natural simplistic depth of the world.
Gemini Risings give off a bubbly vibe. They often have an awkwardly adorable charm. Can be considered ditzy. Can be talkative or a gossip, expressive with hands. May experiment with appearance, such as styles or hair color. May want to appear knowledgable, or just be social. Mercury expands on the need to communicate, especially verbally. Wispy and hard to pin down.
Cancer Risings appears to be almost disconnected. Cancer is very guarded, and can be withdrawn. Intuition is strong. Despite being gaurded, they tend to be emotionally driven, however their true intentions are known to few as they can be very private. The moon here gives them a moonlight glow in their presence, that’s subtle but noticable. Soft features, often leaning feminine in mannerisms.
Leo Risings are the epitome of displaying loud and proud. They tend to be as large as life and light up the room. The sun ruler here makes the person have a glowing-or glaring- presence. They may soak up attention and praise, even subconsciously demand it. They have an air about them that glows and attracts attention, and may appear to have confidence even if it’s not actually present.
Virgo Risings tends to be quiet and observant, paying attention to small details often overlooked by most people. They tend to be critical about their appearance and how the present themselves to the world, usually having a keen idea of how their presence affects other people. Can be shy and withdrawn when first meeting people. Mercury adds a sophistication with language, and a possible anxiety that develops from an overly critical preception of self in relation to the world.
Libra Rising give off a charming and socially sauve vibe. Venus aims to please, particularly Libra blends in any social setting, often refusing to cause any disruption. They tend to mirror what they think people want and aspire to be on friendly terms with everyone involved, regardless of personal feelings. Polite, values manners, and respects unspoken social rules.
Scorpio Risings tend to stand in the back ground and observe. Even the more outgoing ones are observant, constantly reading the vibe of the environment. They are aware of the social undercurrents and want to act strategically. Intense inner vibes that spill into their interactions, intensity is often reflected in gaze and/or eyes. Can be serious but is almost always suspicious of others motives. Pluto here is intense, and people either are drawn to them or repulsed.
Sagittarius Risings display such a carefree vibe, they’re like a breath of freedom. Unmatched in their ability to show off nonchalance in others opinions and be authentically themselves. Jupiter gives them the ability to befriend almost anybody, and without being aware of it they have a light cheery vibe that expands across the room
Capricorn Risings are very serious and almost standoffish. They are not the most social immediately as they carry a weight around them. Serious Outlook and dry humor. Saturn restricts them so they’re not as out going, can accidentally give negative first impressions without meaning to. May come off as a workaholic, or generally tired.
Aquarius Risings is also friendly but in a more detached way. Unconventional and quirky, uncaring if strangers think their wierd but can secretly be self conscious. Uranus gives them a restless energy in crowds and may have an odd mix of being social while being independent. Co-ruler Saturn also can give them a resting bitch face, similar to Capricorn.
Pisces Risings gives off a soft and dreamy vibe. They seem ethernel in this world and can give the feeling of being from a fantasy realm. Can give off the impression of being shy and withdrawn, and dealing with secret fantasies. Neptune gives a glamour effect, in which Pisces may act as a canvas for other people’s personal ambitions.

Why Yule Needs to Stay Creepy
“…There’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago…”
So I have been thinking about our Contemporary conceptualization of the Christmas season a lot lately and it’s kind of interesting. So many things we associate with Christmas – Christmas trees, greeting cards, Santa Claus, his reindeer and elves, gift-giving in general – all of these things came into vogue in the 19th Century and are very sticky-sweet, in my opinion. They’re lovely, but not filling. If we just scratch the surface of the Christmas we know and love and peek back into its history, we find something much meatier.
Before the cheerful Christmas tree, a number of other plants were associated with Christmas. The holly, associated with sacrifice and the blood of Christ, and the parasitic mistletoe, associated with the death of Baldur in Norse mythology – these were the plants associated with Christmas before the Christmas tree became the standard.
Also, the Yule log. The Yule log, meant to provide light on the darkest night of the year, was a magic charm in and of itself. If it did not burn through the night, it would be a terrible omen. By watching the fire and coals of the Yule log, one could also predict who would give birth and who would die in the coming year.  
When our simple Santa Claus is reduced to his predecessors, one is left with Odin, ancient Norse God of battle, Saint Nicholas, the canonized former bishop of Turkey, and Father Christmas, the hard-drinking gluttonous representation of holiday merriment. And all of them brought ghastly friends – Odin, the spirits of the Wild Hunt and Saint Nicholas, his helpers (including Knecht Rupert, Krampus, etc.). Father Christmas, more of a personification of the season than a night visitor, undoubtedly brought many hangovers.
Before stories about reindeer, snowmen, or things of that ilk, there were ghost stories. Charles Dickens did not invent the Christmas ghost story in “A Christmas Carol,” but popularized an already-existing folkloric trend. If we look to the old tales of Christmas, we find stories about witches that rode the night air, cursing the birth of the Savior. There are stories about fairies, ghosts, and Devils that wreak havoc, frightening livestock and damaging property. In an era before television or radio, homemade storytelling was one of the primary forms of entertainment. And winter was the storytelling season.
You also have mumming, wassailing, and caroling – dressing up in colorful costumes and (sometimes drunkenly) begging for money door-to-door. As John Grossman notes in his book “Christmas Curiosities,” Christmas before the Contemporary Period resembles our Halloween more than it resembles the Christmas we know now.
Let us not forget, those of us who acknowledge the Wheel of the Year, that the season of darkness extends from Halloween to Christmas. This darkness only begins to fade when we gain back the Sun at the Winter Solstice. From Halloween to Christmas, the dead may roam the Earth and weird things may happen. In his classic “Mastering Witchcraft,” Paul Huson notes that Yule is not a time for pleasant spell work, but cursing! It is a time of dark magic and mystery. And we need this time. To understand the light, we must understand the darkness – the witches, ghosts, and Devils of the old Yuletide. Like the trees that go dormant, we must embrace the darkness of winter to grow and thrive.
