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.
