Yule & A Lifetime Gift

Hello All,
My ‘Christmas’ is called Yule and is more related to the changing off the seasons. Marking the end of winter and welcoming back the sun. To read more about Yule go here. Anyway Yule is on the 21st December (yesterday).
So David came down for a ritual with Simon, Chrys and some of their friends. David and I went shopping to make a Yule Compote (a mashed fruit desert). It was lovely and went down a treat.
Prior to going to ritual I gave David a lovely Yule gift I had bought him. A beatiful Book Of Shadows (B.O.S). A B.O.S is a journal to record his path as he explores paganism. It includes: learning, experiences, rituals, spells, recipies, etc.
David loved his gift (thankfully!). I also bought two of these books for my self
(Hey! I’ve been living as a pagan for over 7 years!).
Here’s a photo of mine:
(Notice the A.S initals at the bottom. I had Davids personalised like this too!)
I bought it from The Diary Shop I would highly recommend it. They are hand made with hand made paper and reasonably priced.
Anyway, the Yule ritual went well. Although I am nackard tonight.
So one last thing before I go, do you remember that song by George Micheal?
Yes, last Christmas. Well I’ve been hearing it all day, and if I have to suffer so do you.
In love and light,
Antony
XFactor Finalists Hero – A Review

Hello all,
The XFactor finalists have released ‘Hero’ orignally by Mariah Carey. You can view it here:
I love the fact that the vido it has photos of our troops. I love the job that these brave men and women do for us, protecting people at home and abroad. And they are modern day heros so it is an appropriate song.
However, why do they have to sing one of my favouriate songs? Constantly XFactor contestants cover other people’s song. Can they not perhaps write one of their own?
Blog soon,
Antony

The new boyzone song, better is fantasic. Not only a good song, but Stephen Gately (who is openly gay) has a male partner.
You can see the video here:
Unfortunately the homophobe’s have already been on commenting. The usual comments, including how wrong it is blah, blah.
Get a life! Then you can stop commenting on other people’s lives!
Oh and 1 in 10 people are gay, lesbian or bisexual. So you probably know a few. What you going to say to your nearest and dearest when they come out?
Honestly!
Rant Over,
Antony
