Ack. I thought there were only four sabbats. Well, that shows how much I know...

Can someone tell me what a Yule Log is? Do you just find a normal log and decorate it, and then burn it?

(I'm so, SO sorry if I sound annoying. I'm new to wicca.)

Aye! Don't apologise, or we'll all hound you for apologising too much! XD Anyway, a Yule Log, bless it, empower it, decorate it, burn it. It's basically a log. If you don't have a fireplace, alot of people carve holes in them, then place tea light candles ( like with the little metal cover thingsers ) in them. But I really don't know much about yule logs... I don't know the history or really anything else about 'em. Anyone else feel free to add! And on the sabbats thing, there are four major sabbats, and four minor. That confused me at first too. Don't worry! ^^


there are 4 sabbats, 2 solstices, and 2 equinoxes. Samhain, Candlemas(or Imbolc), Beltane, and Lammas(or Lughnasadh) are the sabbats. Yule, and Midsummer(or Litha) are the solstices. Ostara and Mabon are the equinoxes.

just a little tid-bit of information for you wink

Hoshit! Thank you! I knew there were two solstices, and equinoxes, but I thought they were all classified as Sabbats.


that's what i thought in the beginning but i was told differently by some one who has been in wicca for 23 years.

Mmm.. That just could make them right! XD 23 Years expierience.. That's one of the longest periods of experience I've heard of for wicca. Since it's only around 50 years old.. and most practitioners quit, or die. XD


yeah. all her children are in wicca too. they have a family coven i think. even her husband is in wicca. now only if my parents will accept me as a wiccan...

Wow.. That's cool. I would love to have an all wiccan family. Doing sabbat rituals and such would be awesome! And you'd have support. My mom's an... Atheist.. or somthing like that. Not sure. She has no religion. There. What ever that means. lol She accepts me as a wiccan though. It was funny, cause in the middle of a book store ( Chapters ) Me and my mom were arguing quite loudly about buying a Wicca book. She said it would piss my grandma off ( and It would cause she thinks I am a devil worshipper ) and I was trying to tell her I'd hide it... Duska.. You remeber that? ( She was there. ) xd sweatdrop gonk domokun ninja

I was just reading some of the other posts.. Wicca is not just 50 years old. It has ben traced back to the 1st century 'BC' (I don't like using BC)... I've read a few web sites that actually say that it was a religion before 'BC'. 3nodding Just a little piece of information for yous..

Mmm, I believe ( Only from other sources ) that it was based off of pagan practises back before... 'BC' ( I don't like using it either.. ) But Gardiner brought it back in the 50's. Mhm.

Use BCE then. BCE means before current era, or something to that extent. It's "more politically correct". 3nodding

I heard that too.. Yes, I do belive he made it more well known and made some things quite clear.
Something that really stumps me is why do most Christians think we are worshipping the devil when it is not part of our beliefs, we do not even believe in it.

Yes, that is much better! Thank you! Now, if only I could get my history teacher to use that instead of BCE without the E...
