Potter Puppet Pals Live at The Yule Ball 2007.
This is the first of two parts, I had to split it
because youtube is simply like that. The second
part is just as funny (if you liked this part,
which I hope we do)
The very beginning of the show got cut and/or lost
due to technical difficulties, and the sound isn't
perfect (oh those wonderful screaming kids) but
those are the woes of filming live. Arguably the
best live performance of the potter puppet pals to
date!
Starring
Neil Cicierega- two hands/ every character
Alora Lanzilotta- two hands
Emmy Cicierega- two hands
Ben Cicierega- I think he was back there? I don't
know, I saw him on stage and he helped get the
production done. And Ben is really cool, and more
people should know that.
Max Pacheco- Production manager (I uploaded
through his computer and the video would have
never existed without him)
Ryan Murphy filmed it.

Gwyl Canol Gaeaf (Winter Solstice) Yule
Druid ar Môn
22nd DEC 2007
Holly King / Santa Claus: There are as many
theories of a "historical" Santa Clause (or "Saint
Nicholas") as there are ethnic cultures. As an
Keltic folk archetype however, the old man
wreathed in holly is the Holly King. He
represents the "waning year", the "old year", or
the "dark half" of the year. At winter solstice
the Oak King (or the Sun, or the New Year) is
born, and the Holly King's reign is over.
Mistletoe: The mistletoe was sacred to the
Druids. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe
may derive from the custom of enemies refraining
from killing each other if they should happen to
meet under its sacred branches. Presumably the
custom became friendlier and friendlier with time.
Other scholars say that the lusty connotations of
the plant derive from the belief that the clusters
of white translucent berries were drops of the
God's (or the Oak King's) semen. The Oak King
takes the place of the Holly King, and rules the
waxing year, or the "New Year
Candles: The extinguishing of candles at winter
solstice rituals (including Amaltheia's)
represents the deep darkness of the longest night.
Their relighting shows us that the light will
return to us. In the moments of total darkness,
we are "between the worlds": between the old
year's death and the new year's conception. Yule
Log:
The word "yule" is from the Saxon word for
"wheel". The Yule Log,O.E. geol, geola "Christmas
Day, Christmastide," from O.N. jol (pl.), a
heathen feast, later taken over by Christianity,
of unknown origin. The O.E. (Anglian) cognate
giuli was the Anglo-Saxons' name for a two-month
midwinter season corresponding to Roman December
and January, a time of important feasts but not
itself a festival.
Burned at Midwinter, is a magical bridge between
one year and the next. The fire under the Yule
log is lit with a piece of last year's Yule Log,
symbolizing the continuity of the cycles of life.
The ashes of the Yule log were scattered on the
fields to ensure fertility

YEAR CHART YOU CAN PRINT
The Pagan seasonal cycle is often called the Wheel
of the Year. Almost all Pagans celebrate a cycle
of eight festivals, which are spaced every six or
seven weeks through the year and divide the wheel
into eight segments.
