In Ireland, this holiday was celebrated by the Celtic druids as Grianstad An Gheimhridh, celebrated in a manner similar to the Nordic Yule, placing four candles of various colors atop a log and letting them burn down over the night. While the story of the Holly King and Oak King are certainly an interesting play on the dual nature of the Horned God, there is no official evidence they existed in Celtic folklore prior to their introduction into the Wiccan religion in 1970, so I feel no need to include it in my druidic practice, though I understand why others do.
As I explore my own cultural connection to the Celtic druidic tradition, I find that it is but a small thing to reintroduce the celebration of season. We have lost our wildness, and as all animals follow and accept the changing of autumn into winter, winter into spring, spring into summer, and summer into autumn again, so must we as human animals do likewise.
It is coming close to darkness now. Gather with your friends as you can. Light fires, small or large. Eat warm food. Drink as you feel led. And most of all - rest.

But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Such instructions could actually endanger people — citizens receive air strike warnings via smartphone alerts. "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon."
