The Magic of Yule: Witchcraft Rituals for the Winter Season

Witchcraft Yuletide rituals involve the practice of various ceremonies and traditions during the Yuletide season. Yuletide, also known as the winter solstice, is a time when witches and pagans celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the return of light after the longest night of the year. One common ritual during this time is the lighting of the Yule log. The Yule log, traditionally a large, wooden log, is burned to symbolize the return of the sun's warmth and light. It is often decorated with greenery, such as holly or ivy, and is lit with a piece of the previous year's log, representing the continuity of the cycle of life. Another important aspect of Witchcraft Yuletide rituals is the gathering of herbs and plants associated with the season.

Moonlight might work fine for a game like this, but you will have to have a good wired connection to your cable modem on your PC side and a fast wifi6 at the minimum to get playable latency at that distance.

Question Windows 10 on Redmagic 8 Pro void version

I'm thinking of buying one of the gaming devices. Maybe Steam deck, maybe ASUS ROG 7 Ult, maybe ASUS Ally or Maybe Redmagic 8 Pro Void variant. Of these Redmagic 8 Void variant looks the most cool and appeasing to eye.

I was curious if I can somehow run Win 10 on it as well as I have seen some videos on net where people downloaded Win 11 but on a Nokia device or something.

Is that possible?

It's possible (seems to be incomplete tho, so good luck trying to make it work). You'll have huge problems with drivers (which would be really hard to resolve).
What do you need Windows for? It's not going to be good for games, trying to write the drivers for W11/10 will take years and it's still going to be slow.
For "desktop use" Android is actually fine. With console mode and root you can do almost the same as with any Linux PC.

You can get a gaming PC with an nvidia GPU, and just stream to your android device with moonlight. This may have latency though. You could run qemu and Windows 11 ARM in a VM, but it would be very slow, and not support anything GPU related as I'm not sure dxvk works with android drivers. Windows really isn't a good OS for gaming either, and has been shown to have significantly lower framerates for the same games compiled for a different OS on identical hardware. While it could be possible to port Windows 11 ARM to run on the 8/8s pro, you would likely be sticking to retrogames or emulators on that platform (which run better on Android or GNU anyway.) Meanwhile, moonlight on my 8s pro runs Elden Ring (120fps 20:9 aspect ratio modded), with just a few ms of latency, which I suspect will improve when wifi 7 comes out for home use (supported by the 8gen2) I wouldn't use it for twitch shooters, but game streaming is much better than it was a few years ago. The Snapdragon 8 gen 2, or even the most powerful M2 ultra is still pittance compared to an actual modern x86 desktop or console with a dedicated GPU, which are needed to run real modern shooters.

The deal is in my company I'm not allowed to bring personal PC to work otherwise I would have bought by Asus Tuf PC to work and played in my free time.

I can bring mobile tho so I thought I could buy a good gaming mobile, have W10 and play games in my free time. I also like to enjoy games in a casual way. So, uh, instead of playing games like PUBG and the likes, I play games on single player with cheat engine etc. I am unaware of a cheat engine on mobile tho, for android.

That thing about writing drivers seems like a pain + I don't know where to begin for writing drivers So this is out of question for me.

As for streaming v.i.a moonlight, thank you for that info. I'll read up on how that works and if it's something I can do, I'll do it. My workplace is 14.5 Km from my home so I doubt it will stream with 0 latency or low latency but I play single player too so maybe it will work? Let me read up on moonlight tho.

Bottom line is II can't play PC games on mobile XD. There goes my wish to play Everspace 2 LOL.

What's this different OS you mentioned? Linux? Apple iOS?

The cheatengine for Android is something that risk a ban on here for mentioning it. If you really must, I suggest you look for this particular happy faced friendly app out on the internet if you're feeling lucky .

That game recommends an RTX 2070. We just caught up to the PS3 in graphical horsepower very recently on mobile. The level of a 2070 is still another 15-20 years out for mobile. Moonlight might work fine for a game like this, but you will have to have a good wired connection to your cable modem on your PC side and a fast wifi6 at the minimum to get playable latency at that distance.

Yeah, pretty much any non-microsoft related operating system. You can even sometimes get better framerates, especially for older titles running Windows games on wine with dxvk on other platforms. The only benefit Windows brings to the table is a more fleshed out nvidia control panel, and native DirectX for xbox ports. Compatibility monopolization in a thing of the past.

Thank you for that info, I'll be more careful from now.

Damn alright, got it. I'll stick to Android only then if I buy Redmagic.
Hmmm, ok. I'll look up the alternatives then.

My 2 cents - if you're buying the device with the sole purpose of gaming in mind - pick Steam Deck or OneXPlayer, will save you some cells figuring out how to run proper AAA games on Android. Unfortunately, Android, as a game platform, revolves around small casul games that people play to kill some time and in this niche there are many good games. But for a serious hardcore player there are little-to-no choices, if any. Emulation is good only up to PS2 which is ancient, Citra for android is still considered a byproduct of PC version, Switch emulation is so-so and finally there are three (. ) Windows wanna-be emulators each barely running anything fullspeed (60 FPS, so to speak). So, the choice is obvious - get a proper handheld with either Linux or Windows on it and get going.

Also, before anyone comes here protecting Exagear, Box64 or Winlator - try to run an ancient Fire Emblem clone but not really called "Kamidori Alchemy Meister", I dare you. While the game is pretty much 2D for whatever reason it barely runs on genuine Wine under Debian because of workarounds required.

Got it. I was thinking of buying steam deck too anyways, as the good people here explained to me why Windows on mobile is a bad idea. Driver issues and all.

I've been looking into Steamdeck on youtube and people generally sing praises of it so it must be worth it. I think this is the first I have read of OneXPlayer. Let me look it up to see if it's good or not.

There are a few things I need to know for Steam deck like it's a linux OS's variant so can I have android OS on it too as I've heard Linux is super flexible. Those will be the questions for Steam Deck device forums.
Thanks for your time and 2 cents, mate. Much appreciated.

Yuzu is great on the 8s Pro. With the turnip driver magisk module, I'm getting solid 30 on ToTK, and up to 60 on BoTW modded unlocked framerate @2480x1116. The switch is just an nvidia shield tv, with 4 gigs of RAM, so native arm to arm translation works awesome on this thing. Skyward Sword HD is 60fps solid, SMO too. It's at or above switch level at this point, with high res and AA. The AAA games that work great native I've played so far: HL2 + EP1&2, Portal (original with RTX models mod from gamebanana), CS:S, HL:S (with mods), Portal 2 is otw, Doom I+II+III fully modded via Delta. Dolphin works awesome as well, zero dip framelimit lock on basically all titles, even 4k Twilight Princess mod. For everything else, Sunlight and Moonlight 150mbps 2480x1116@120hz has no issue with this device's amazing Wifi7 capabilities; lag free in Doom Eternal, Agony, Elden Ring, basically anything I could throw at it. Genshen, CoD, PubG, Neverland, Black Desert, ect of course all run maxed out 120fps. Halo MCC+Infinite via gamepass works with some latency, but decode is as fast as it can be. With Xposed modules, my jailbroken PS5 does Bloodborne 4k (upscale) 60fps with remote play, Demon Souls, FF7, and whatever else. That's just the tip of the iceberg. If you know what you're doing, and where to find it, it's all there for AAA gaming on this thing.

>turnip driver magisk module
Thanks for the tip, will dig right in. Will it replace the default driver so no additional configuration in Yuzu is needed or it should also loaded in the emulator using GPU driver sideloading option? Also, the link to the said module will be appreciated (not a lazy ass but kinda new to Magisk stuff, used KernelSU up to this point, please don't hit me).

>The switch is just an nvidia shield tv, with 4 gigs of RAM

>native arm to arm translation
Only Skyline is able to do that, AFAIK, Yuzu is still a bit behind that feature. Feel free to correct.

>(List of some games with FPS values.)
Barely getting 30 FPS in Shining Resonance Refrain but Hades goes fullspeed all the time. Other games I've tried, including Dragon's Dogma and Hollow Knight all running smoothly 90% of time but still fall down to 10 FPS (and below) in some occasion, hence the comment.

>(Source games.)
Playing those without a proper mouse for aiming is a war crime. IMO.

>Doom I+II+III fully modded via Delta.
Yeah, right, Doom can be run on a toaster.

>(Game streaming / remote play.)
I'm playing locally on the device - when I'm home I can as well sit right before the screen, boot up =Insert any game here= and play. The 8S is there to back me up when I'm on the move. Not playing anything requiring the internet connection as well - for whatever reason mobile internet is prohibited during the flying. NO RESPECT FOR THE CUSTOMER, DAMMIT.

My bad. I'll try to put on my detective hat and work the clues XD

Witches also perform divination rituals during Yuletide to gain insight and guidance for the coming year. Divination techniques such as tarot readings, scrying, or rune casting may be used to connect with the spiritual realm and receive messages or advice. The giving and receiving of gifts is also an important part of Witchcraft Yuletide rituals. Witches believe in the power of intention and that giving gifts with love and positive intention can bring blessings and good fortune. Gifts given during Yule often have a spiritual or magical significance, such as crystals, candles, or ritual tools. In addition to these specific rituals, Witchcraft Yuletide celebrations may also involve feasting, singing, and dancing. Witches may come together in a coven or gather with friends and family to celebrate the season and honor the cycles of nature. Overall, Witchcraft Yuletide rituals are a time for witches to connect with nature, celebrate the return of light, and set intentions for the coming year. These rituals can vary depending on individual beliefs and traditions, but the underlying themes of rebirth, renewal, and spiritual connection are common elements in Witchcraft Yuletide celebrations..

Reviews for "The Yuletide Witch: Exploring the Role of Witches in Winter Celebrations"

1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Witchcraft yuletide rituals." The book lacked depth and substance, and I found it to be quite repetitive. The rituals mentioned were basic and unoriginal, offering nothing new or exciting to the practice of witchcraft during the yuletide season. Additionally, the writing style was rather dull and did not engage me as a reader. I was expecting more guidance and inspiration from this book, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.

2. Sarah - 1/5 - As someone interested in witchcraft and yuletide rituals, I found this book to be incredibly misleading. The title may suggest a guide to engaging and meaningful rituals, but it was nothing more than a collection of generic and uninspiring ideas. The lack of depth and originality in the rituals left me feeling disappointed and unfulfilled. I would not recommend "Witchcraft yuletide rituals" to anyone looking for meaningful and insightful practices for the yuletide season.

3. Alex - 2/5 - "Witchcraft yuletide rituals" was quite underwhelming. The content in the book lacked substance and novelty. It felt like a recycled version of generic rituals that I could find with a quick internet search. The author did not bring any unique insights or perspectives to the rituals, making the book feel like a waste of money. If you're looking for something that truly explores the depth and beauty of yuletide rituals in witchcraft, I suggest looking elsewhere.

4. Emily - 2.5/5 - While "Witchcraft yuletide rituals" had some interesting ideas, I found it to be lacking in terms of explanation and detail. The book could have benefited from more in-depth explanations of the rituals and their significance, as well as practical guidance on how to effectively perform them. Additionally, the writing style was dry and monotonous, making it difficult to stay engaged with the content. Overall, this book fell short of my expectations and did not provide the inspiration and guidance I was seeking for yuletide rituals in witchcraft.
