In folklore and mythology, the witch and the beast are often depicted as dangerous and evil creatures that threaten humanity. However, there is another side to the story - one that urges us to look beyond appearances and question our assumptions. The concept of "devouring" the witch and the beast stems from the idea of destroying these beings to protect ourselves. This notion is deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness, as we are accustomed to seeing the witch as a malevolent sorceress and the beast as a ferocious monster. However, when we peel back the layers, we discover a different narrative. The witch, often portrayed as an unattractive hag, may actually possess wisdom and invaluable knowledge.
If you want to go a completely different route, our tree is trimmed with skeletons and flying pigs and fish and blimps -- in other words anything not normally associated with Christmas or Jesus. We have a beautiful Christopher Radko Frankenstein head that was my husband's first Xmas gift to me, and everything else is the absurd or unusual that has caught our eye.

The earliest life of St Brigid was by Broccan Cloen, around 650, and was barely two stanzas and almost 150 years years after she is alleged to have set up Cill Deara. I have no doubt that in the rapidly modernizing Ireland of the 5th and 6th centuries many earnest young women called some version of Brigid lived and proselytized, some for the old religion, and some for the new.
The witch, often portrayed as an unattractive hag, may actually possess wisdom and invaluable knowledge. She may be a healer, a spiritual guide, or a guardian of nature. By devouring the witch, we are metaphorically consuming her power and potential, depriving ourselves of the richness she can offer.

Looking for something other than a star or angel for my yule tree. Not interested in pentagrams. A sun would be nice, Any ideas?
Would that be that Christmas originated as a celebration of the sun returning after the shortest day of the year? Because that is what the celebration early Christians tagged Jesus onto actually was.
Take a beer can, cut the bottom off, stick the can over the top branch and call it a topper.
We use a star, and it in no way disturbs my atheist sensibilities. Do Christians get their panties in a wad because they are participating in a pagan ritual when they put up their tree? Nope, they say "fuck it, its Christmas" and drive on, pagan tree and all.
I've taken to making my own. This year is a combination of red hydrangeas, poinsettias, gold glitter eucalyptus, and other gold glitter-covered plants.
Look on Pinterest for ideas.

Posted: 12/4/2015 10:55:27 PM EDT We use 3 bows made from ribbon. Posted: 12/5/2015 1:13:10 AM EDTLast year my wife bought a very nice victorian era Christmas Angle as a tree topper. It's about the size of a 12 inch G.I. Joe. About 2 days after Christmas, while visiting, one of my adult kids asks "Why is she holding an MG42?"
My wife never noticed.
It's going up again this year.
Posted: 12/5/2015 1:20:32 AM EDTDr. Who angle maybe?

(20 mm works too if the top stalk is too big)

One year, my wife's Dickens Christmas village, on the coffee table and RIGHT in front of the TV, had a 16" tall Cthulhu in the middle of it. which she didn't notice for about two weeks.

It's actually a bit more complicated than that. SOME early Christians felt that when God created the earth (in Genesis) He did it on the first day of spring and decided Jesus had the same birthday.. At the time they thought it was March 25. Then they decided that perhaps he was conceived on March 25. ADD nine months and what do you know?

View QuoteYou're being silly holding us to rules that you yourself won't follow because the book has n authority. Actually, it says not to do it as the pagans do. We don't. We do it for a different reason.
Ordered this a month and a half ago, to mount on a pole for a nice home decoration, and it arrived today. Then, a couple hours later, I suddenly remembered this thread, and it hit me that with a reasonably sturdy tree, this would make an absolutely bitchin' Yule tree topper.
Got a nice Freki and Geri motif going on.
How about an original Roman soldier's Sol Invictus ring? The Sol Invictus cult was the deity that Constantine pimped up in Rome as a final attempt at a compromise cult that would satisfy Christians, Mithraists, and old-school pagans. The Sol cult bequeathed many of the totems now taken as "Christian": the cross as a religious symbol of triumph over adversity, Sunday as sacred, and most especially for your interests, a birth festival on December 25th (the "Festival of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun").
Similarly, the beast is often depicted as a terrifying creature, but there is often complexity and vulnerability hidden within. The beast may be cursed, seeking love and acceptance, or misunderstood due to their appearance. By devouring the beast, we are perpetuating a cycle of fear and prejudice, denying ourselves the opportunity to see beyond superficiality and find connection with others. The idea of devouring the witch and the beast ultimately reflects our tendency to judge and reject what we don't understand. It serves as a reminder to challenge our preconceived notions and embrace diversity. By embracing the witch and the beast, we can learn from their experiences, unravel their mysteries, and discover the beauty in even the most unlikely places. Instead of devouring these mythical figures, let us engage with them, listen to their stories, and appreciate the lessons they can teach us. By doing so, we have the potential to transform ourselves, our communities, and our society as a whole..
