Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! ⁠ This is an episode about a plague that killed up to 100 million people by the time it was done—as many as 60% of its victims. It's the first documented occurrence of a pandemic that we have, and it's the first documented outbreak of the deadlyYersinia pestis. No, we're not talking about the Black Death of Medieval Europe. We're talking about the Plague of Justinian. The Plague of Justinian was just one part of the fallout of the global volcanic eruption of 536 AD. Three eyewitness accounts have survived--and, in the grand tradition of this podcast, we decided to read them to you whilst Yule-level drunk. Buckle up. It is a wild, plague-tastic ride.

I discovered this deck last year and picked up an early copy as a Yule gift for my husband.  Now Atomic Cat Tarot creator Wendy Miller has launched it on Kickstarter to be able to publish more decks and have it available in the tarot world.  Wendy joins me on this episode to talk about the deck, the process leading into it, the art, and more.  It is a fun conversation with someone who loves cats, tarot, and Atomic style.  Get your Jetsons fix for your readings and fun art. What is your favorite card and cat? The Atomic Cat Tarot is now live on Kickstarter through mid-June 2025.  It's fully backed and delivery is expected in early autumn (in time for Christmas/Yule - so get a copy for a friend).

سلام بچه‌ها! ما توی پنجمین قسمت از یک سفر دوازده قسمتی هستیم که از کریسمس شروع شده و تا نوروز ادامه داره. بربری توی این قسمت رفته به ایسلند و با ۱۳ تا غول کریسمس آشنا شده که بهشون میگن یول لدز Yule lads. اون فکر می‌کرد افسانه‌های ترسناک کریسمس با کالیکانتزاروس‌ها تموم میشه ولی انگار همچنان ادامه داره! آیا ممکنه وجود این غول‌های بی‌شاخ و دم زمستونی که توی بقیه کشورهای اسکاندیناوی مثل فنلاند و سوئد و نروژ هم مشابه دارند، به خاطر شب‌های طولانی‌تر زمستون در این سرزمین‌های سرد باشه که تقریبا نزدیک قطب شمال‌اند؟ ضمنا توی این قسمت دو تا داستان جدید می‌شنویم از ملورین و لیلیان و داستان کامل شدهٔ هانا و منتظر می‌مونیم تا وانیا متنی رو که از داستانش فرستاده با صدای خودش بخونه تا هفته بعد منتشر کنیم. نویسندگی، تهیه و اجرا: سولماز نراقی

I talked a bit about this the other night on my Patreon fireside chat, but of course, I ended up wandering a bit. While tradition may hold that Samhain is the Witch's New Year, my question will always be: whose tradition? From what geographical location? Turns out, in the Deep South, Yule has always felt more aligned with my own Witch's New Year.Y'all stay warm in this coming winter storm! Love y'all like chicken.To support this podcast and receive extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch

This episode takes us into the weekly astrological energetics of December 30th, 2024 - January 5th, 2025 with practical and magical tips and tactics to help resource and support you through all the energies. What's the energy? How can we harness and work with it? Last week was more mellow than the weeks prior. There were energetics offered for processing and integration, some liminal space to allow clarity on new ways forward. There was plenty to grow from. Last week did you: Get on the mat? Drink warm herbal teas? Make time to contemplate last year, and next? This week is still pretty mellow. Use this slower space, that offers a dash of Aphrodite sweetness, to keep sifting, sorting, dreaming, mapping, and planning into your weird, yet evolved 2025.

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! How would Alaric of the Visigoths celebrate the midwinter holiday (Christmas? Solstice? Yule?). The idea was kicked around a lot between the two of us until it seemed imperative that we actually write this episode. And thus, an episode was born. In this episode, Alaric is about six years old. He doesn't exactly understand that his life is hanging by a knife's edge – caught between the invading Huns and the colonizing Romans. This is the story of a little boy just trying to do the right thing and not get his belly slit open by the Perchta, as one does around this time of year. So sit back, pour yourself a festive holiday beverage, and enjoy this very fictional, occasionally true episode.  Sponsors & Advertising This podcast is a member of Airwave Media podcast network.

Tis the Yule and Jacob from Manchester very cannily suggests hippos as this week's topic. In Aesop's fable, the hippo is humiliated by being left out of any accounts of the Nativity and, according to Hans Christian Andersen, rather than sharing its feelings with its closest friend, the Little Mermaid, retreats to the Nile and dedicates itself to be able to run faster than you'd think it could. Perhaps by honouring the hippo on this special day we can bring its troubled narrative to a happy close.Join our PATREON for ad-free episodes and a monthly bonus episode: www.patreon.com/threebeansaladWith thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.Merch now available here: www.threebeansaladshop.comGet in touch: threebeansaladpod@gmail.com @beansaladpod

Yule tide greetings! On episode one hundred and thirty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim have their friend, Adam Gray on the podcast to cap off the year yet again. The trio talk about big noses, deviated septa, and SlipKnot's new drummer. Adam opens up about the passing of his wife, Teagan and the struggles that have come alongside that loss. Though they share many a laugh, this episode is not your typical Christmas episode. It's real conversation about real life, and it's not necessarily wrapped up nicely with a bow.

Christmas time, is here...for those who celebrate, of course. Traditionally a time to bring family together, maybe for cookies and coco… Sometimes a fireplace is involved. White beards, red suits, and bow-topped gifts under a Christmas tree. All the things needed to warm your heart, and keep the cold out. Again…for those who celebrate…. Sometimes when we don't respect folks disinterest in Saint Nick, bad things take place. Tonight, our Cinema Autopsy will focus on a cautionary tale.

Folktales around the fire, gooding & mumping and the terrifying Hooden Horse are just some of England's winter folk traditions from history. In this episode, Dan explores the unlikely and often dark origins of some of our Christmas traditions that can be traced back thousands of years. He's joined by folklore historian Vikki Bramshaw, to discover what midwinter legends were brought over with the Anglo-Saxon invasion, the origins of the Yule log and some of the unusual ways people passed the long nights in rural England (fortune-telling chestnuts).He also explores the New Forest, Hampshire, with local historian Richard Reeves to find out more about how medieval people survived the cold winters in the woods.You can discover more in Vikki's book 'New Forest Folklore, Traditions and Charms'.This is episode 4 of our 'Origins of Christmas' series. This December, Dan explores the history behind our Christmas traditions—from extravagant Tudor feasts and carolling to midwinter Solstice celebrations, the bawdy entertainment of the Georgians, and the family-focused customs of the Victorians.Produced by Mariana Des Forges.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Chapter 1 What's Wheel Of The Year by Pauline Campanelli"Wheel of the Year" by Pauline Campanelli is a comprehensive guide that explores the cycle of seasonal festivals celebrated within the pagan calendar. Campanelli delves into the eight major Sabbats—Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule—offering insights into their historical origins, significance, and modern-day celebrations. The book is not just a mere calendar; it weaves together folklore, traditions, rituals, and seasonal practices, providing readers with practical guidance on how to honor each Sabbat in their own lives. Campanelli emphasizes the importance of connecting with nature, observing seasonal changes, and celebrating the rhythms of the earth. Through step-by-step rituals, recipes, and meditations, readers learn how to merge ancient wisdom with contemporary practices to create a meaningful spiritual experience throughout the year. This work serves as both an educational resource and an inspirational guide for those wishing to deepen their relationship with the natural world and the cycle of life.Chapter 2 Wheel Of The Year by Pauline Campanelli Summary"Wheel of the Year" by Pauline Campanelli is a comprehensive guide that explores the pagan seasonal festivals and their significance within the neo-pagan traditions, particularly Wicca. The book outlines the eight major festivals that make up the Wheel of the Year, which are:Samhain (October 31 November 1) A festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, believed to be a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest.Yule (Winter Solstice) Celebrating the rebirth of the sun, this festival honors the return of longer days and the fertility of the earth.Imbolc (February 1-2) A festival dedicated to the goddess Brigid, signifying the first signs of spring and the promise of renewed life and growth.Ostara (Spring Equinox) Marking the balance of day and night, Ostara celebrates fertility and rebirth, aligning with themes of renewal in nature.Beltane (May 1) A fire festival that celebrates fertility, the union of the God and Goddess, and the abundance of life in spring.Litha (Summer Solstice) A celebration of the longest day of the year, focusing on the sun's power and the peak of growth before the decline of summer.Lammas (August 1) A harvest festival that offers gratitude for the earth's bounty, marking the time of ripening grain and fruit.Mabon (Autumn Equinox) A time of thanksgiving for the harvest, recognizing the balance between light and dark as the year moves toward winter.Throughout the book, Campanelli provides historical contexts, rituals, spells, recipes, and crafts associated with each festival, encouraging readers to actively participate in the cycles of nature. She emphasizes themes such as gratitude, community, and the interconnectedness of life, inviting practitioners to engage with the natural world and celebrate the changing seasons. Each chapter serves as both a spiritual guide and a practical resource for those looking to deepen their connection to pagan traditions, fostering a sense of respect and appreciation for the earth's rhythms.Chapter 3 Wheel Of The Year AuthorPauline Campanelli is an American author, known for her writings on Wicca, paganism, and earth-centered spirituality. She authored the book "Wheel of the Year: Living the Magical Life" which was released in 1993 and has since become a fundamental work for those interested in neo-pagan practices, especially for those following the Wheel of the Year in their spiritual traditions.Apart from "Wheel of the Year," Campanelli has written several other books, including:"The Witch's Book of the Dead""The Magical Herbalism" (co-authored with Artemisia Cross)"Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" (as an inspirational...

Winter will spring on the northern hemisphere in the wee hours of tomorrow morning – the winter solstice. That makes today and tomorrow the shortest days of the year – the shortest interval from sunrise to sunset. That makes the nights the longest of the year. Over the centuries, many cultures have held special events to commemorate this changing of the seasons. In China, for example, the event has been marked by a festival known as Dongzhi – a name that means “winter arrival.” It’s a celebration of the coming victory of light over darkness, as the Sun reverses course and brings longer days. In ancient Rome, the event coincided with Saturnalia – a festival dedicated to the god Saturn. It was one of the most important events of the year. It began on December 17th and continued for a week. Schools, businesses, and most government activities closed down. People held big banquets, exchanged gifts, and lit their homes with special candles. Scandinavians held the Feast of Juul. They made sacrifices to the hammer-wielding god Thor. They also lit bonfires to celebrate the returning sunlight, and placed a long-burning log in their hearths – the Yule log. Many of the features of Saturnalia and the Feast of Juul have been incorporated into the modern celebration of Christmas – another event that roughly coincides with the winter solstice – a dark time with the promise of sunnier days ahead.

It's time for a very 80s Christmas as we travel back to revisit the holiday season during the 1980s.  In this episode, we look back at the holiday movie that was a surprise hit and then the story of a beloved TV special that didn't come from the 80s--but was adopted as our own. Next, we look back at the creation of a modern classic Christmas song and finish with the unlikely story of a group of children that managed to dethrone John Lennon...

The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy. But all too often, the darker, colder days of winter, and even the stress of preparing for the holidays themselves, can lead people to feel something else: rushed, stressed, lonely, or even hopeless. How can you make sure this year is bright? Dr Laurie joins Dave DeSteno on his show How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality to unpack the psychological secrets of celebrations from Christmas, to Hanukkah, to Yule, and more. They’ll also discuss how we can put that wisdom into practice, whatever our beliefs, to make this season a happier and healthier one for all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But there are many more of those strange sightings to share! (More Real Santa Sightings) *** Christmas has been celebrated for centuries, and gift-giving has been around in America since well before the Civil War. But how we celebrate and what we give changes depending on the time. We'll take a look at what Christmas was like for American pioneers in the 1800s. (Christmas in The Old West) *** At a Christmas party the revelers heard a horrifying scream from outside. They rushed out to hear the screams were coming from the sky, at least above the rooftops. But how could that be? It was then that they learned Oliver Lerch had disappeared – never to be seen again. (The Christmas Disappearance of Oliver Lerch) *** Nothing says Christmas like a poisonous weed! Well… you explain mistletoe! We'll look at why we're supposed to kiss under this deadly plant during the holidays. (A Kiss Under the Mistletoe) *** A horrible fire breaks out at an Oklahoma school during the holidays of 1924 – and the ghosts of the children still linger at the site. (Ghosts of the Babbs Switch School Christmas Fire) *** You might be celebrating Christmas like a viking and not even realize it. From the holiday ham to the evergreen in your living room, we'll look at how the pagan celebration of Yule influenced modern Christmas traditions. (How To Celebrate Christmas Like a Viking) *** Kids in America anxiously await the arrival of Santa Claus bounding down the chimney with gifts and candy for the good little boys and girls. But that's America. What comes down the chimney of Irish and Scottish kids may not be so jolly, plump, and loving. Some Gaelic children have to watch out for the Bodach. (Beware the Bodach at Christmas) *** It's something we're trying to revive here on Weird Darkness… the lost tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas.

It's Friday the 13th and what timing to have this unlucky day around the holidays when people have their company parties and in some places, the October spook houses remodel their facilities to dedicate it to Krampus. Yes, we all know about Krampus – the Christmas bad cop who punishes children who do not obey their parents. It may or may not be an ill-fated omen but the synchronicity of Friday the 13th gives us a reason to look for a bunch of darker characters from Krampus to Gryla and those mischievous tricksters, the Yule lads coming down from the mountains, one-by-one as Christmas approaches. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time), Clyde Lewis talks with storyteller, Jeff Belanger about KRAMPUS THE 13th.

Remember those Christmastime Coca-Cola ads from the ’90s and early aughts? A caravan of red trucks snakes through picturesque towns, delivering holiday cheer in the form of good old-fashioned Coke. The company just released a new version, meant to invoke nostalgia for the Yule of yesteryear. And in the true spirit of 2024, it’s AI-generated. Will all our ads be AI-made soon? Or is human creativity still key? Also in this episode: A dogecoin influencer weighs his options, a startup wants to put EV chargers in lampposts and unit labor costs may tell us where inflation is headed.

We've covered La Befana, the Christmas witch, and we've covered Yule, the true origins of Christmas, but something we've skirted around is the jolly man himself. Father Christmas, Papa Noel, also known as Santa Claus. And before you skip this episode because you think you already know everything you need to know about this dude–Did you know this man might have killed a guy?? Full Disclosure: Alicia and Terra chose the topic of Saint Nicholas as a wholesome jolly end to season 6, but this episode turned out different than we thought. Still GOOD! It's really good!

The holiday is widely celebrated in Scandinavian countries, and it's an important part of Wiccan and Pagan tradition. But for many of us, the version that's come down through history is strongly associated with Christmas--and heavily sanitized. When we scratched the surface, however, we found that the origins of Yule were older and darker and weirder than we ever imagined.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHJoinBilt.com/DTH - to start earning points on your rent payments!Christmas Vacation Tour - StandingOvationsLive.com The movie kicks off with Erin Cahill sleuthing around, and I'm very confused because Erin Cahill isn't Lacey Chabert. She's climbing rocks with one hand and gets up to a rock with some sort of message on it. Suddenly, the rock slides back, and she finds a notebook. She's pumped. AND THAT'S THE CHRISTMAS QUEST!We're back in Boston, MA, and Erin Cahill is back home with her daughter. Her daughter gives her a compass as a Christmas gift. They cuddle up on the couch, and Erin opens the special book, sharing the story of the Yule Lads. Suddenly, it's no longer Erin Cahill reading the story. Rather, it's Lacey Chabert, who is giving a lecture at Heast College about the book her mom found. Lacey's name is Dr. Baxter, Dr. Stefani Baxter! Her boss tells her she should go find the Yule Lads' treasure. She's skeptical, saying treasure hunters have been trying to find it for years, and her mom gave up. It's impossible. But he insists, presenting her with a map that might be helpful, and suggests she try to figure it out during Christmas break.Off she goes and finds a box with the Yule horn in it—pretty easily, actually. The horn is the key to finding the rest of the treasure, but she can't read the language on the horn. However, she knows someone who can—HER EX-HUSBAND, CHASE. He's happy to see her until he finds out it's just because she needs him to translate something. But when he realizes it's the Yule Horn, he can't help himself. When he finds out they're going to Iceland to try to find the rest of the treasure, he also can't resist. Chase is on the case! Off to Iceland!First stop is a church, where they find a message written on the bottom of one of the tiles. The second clue is a very cryptic message about light. They notice they're being watched by some people as they continue their journey. They travel a couple of hours to an amazing cave and find another clue. That night, they go to a bar, and she talks to a friend about what happened between them. She loves him, but he was never happy with how devoted she was to her work and expeditions, so she let him go.At the next hunt, they get stuck in a cave. One of the people who've been following them agrees to help them out.We then get a montage of them finding another handful of clues. This montage includes a baking sequence, so we're all better for it.The clues ultimately bring them to an art exhibit. The only problem is that it's closed for a fancy Christmas party. They get dressed up and almost kiss but are interrupted.They head to the party and manage to sneak in. They can't find the treasure anywhere, so they assume it must be in storage. They sneak a keycard from Hendrick. They get caught, so they just kiss to make the person go away. They find the final clue, and that's when the guy funding the quest shows up and drops the bomb that he's going to call the buyer to meet them! She says she thought this was going to a museum to help preserve history. He says, "As is." So she says, "I'm out!" But Chase says he'll stay in case they need someone to read something. It turns out he just wanted to stay close so he could steal the clue back. He meets back up with Stefani.As they're on their way to the final clue, Stefani realizes she may have been wrong about it. They head to the first location and find another tunnel. They figure out how to open the door, and on the other side, it's a Christmas wonderland full of Christmas... trinkets. They're both like, “What the heck? This isn't treasure. This is just junk.” But then she finds her mom's compass. She realizes her mom has already found all the clues and been in this room. She realizes that her mom suddenly stopped treasure hunting one day. She must have learned that the real treasure is the people in your life, not actual treasure. She finds a note her mom wrote her. They head out, and they hear the Yule Lads laughing as the door slams shut again.They kiss each other real big, the best treasure you can find. Then they go get some eggnog and kiss some more.
