Very Cool song and dance at the end

When its over.....

When it’s over, I want to say:
All my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
–Mary Oliver

Yule songs

Tonight the Hunstsville Feminist Choir does its annual Solstice concert. They sing songs about Yule and Winter Solstice, Sun God and the Goddesses. Its purely secular and very well done. After hearing tons of insipid and silly Christmas songs, fights about who the season is all about, and judgments against those who observe the paganism inherent in the holiday rather than the religious, I love hearing these songs. They speak to me of what really December and its various celebrations are about--return of the sun, beginning of winter and enjoying life with others.
So if you are in the north AL area, come to the Flying Monkey around 4pm and you will be happy you did!!!!

So Happy Yule and A Warm Winter Solstice!!!

Equality and RIghts

This is a great speech by a NY Senator on Equality and how that is what its all about!!! She is so Right on!!

Each of Us

Each of us inevitable,
Each of us limitless --
Each of us with his or her
right upon the earth,
Each of us allow'd
the eternal purports
of the earth,
Each of us here
as divinely as any is here.

~ Walt Whitman ~

December is the Month for Birthdays!!!

December was a busy month over the course of history. Many many gods had birthdates on Dec 25th and even virgin births!!
So during your merriment remember these Mythological Gods and light a candle or two for them
Chrishna of India, Mithra of Persia,Horus Of Egypt, Beddou of the Orients, Dionysus,Adonis, Sol, Elah-Gabal, and of course the "reason for the season" Jesus, and many others. March must have been a rockin month of merriment- celebration of Spring maybe?

You may have noted in the long list that all but one god is considered a myth. How does that reasoning work? Either ALL are mythological or ALL are real. Choosing one as real and the rest as myth is just too convenient and foundation of brain washing millions.

So remember MANY GODs are the reason for the season!!!!!!
