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.

The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. As such, the SC would like to remind investors to always exercise caution when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those promising unrealistically high returns with little or no risk. Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed. Following this, Sebi, in an order passed in January 2022, established that the administrators of a Telegram channel having a large subscriber base enticed the subscribers to act upon recommendations that were circulated by those administrators on the channel, leading to significant price and volume impact in various scrips. Continuing its crackdown against entities allegedly involved in a front-running scam using messaging app Telegram, Sebi on Thursday carried out search and seizure operations at the premises of eight entities in multiple locations across the country. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram.
