Montreal Pagan Community Yule Fair Update

On Dec.7, 2008 Island Willow performed the Yule Rite for the MPC Yule Fair, in conjuction with several volunteers from the pagan community.

The rite was a great success. It was done in the form of a play, that evolved into a ritual. Odin, Thor, Freya, Loki, and a small mortal child were sitting around a campfire in Midgard, drinking mead and chatting over old times. Pranks were played, challenges were made and the story of Yule was told. The end result was Odin called for a show of support from the people of Midgard, to prove to Loki that the people would still support the old Gods and that by protecting the sun on the longest night, we would ward off Ragnarok once more.
