Yes, me lovelies, tonight tis Long Night, Yule the ancients called it (Winter Solstice, December 21). In times past we’d burn Yule logs and sacrifice pigs, cattle, sheep, even horses in the hopes to bring the sun back, hoping the Horned God comes back—Cernuous, Thor, Odin even. Nowadays we sacrifice cakes, toast with mead.
In the heart of this night lies a dark tradition.
The Wild Hunt—the Horned God leads a might host through the skies, gathering souls that died during the year. Say your goodbyes this night.
