Yule is a pagan holiday that celebrates the winter solstice and marks the return of longer days. This ancient tradition has been celebrated for centuries and is still honored by many today. One way in which Yule is often celebrated is through the recitation of poems or chants that honor the changing of the seasons and the winter solstice. These poems are a way for pagans to connect with and celebrate the natural world around them. In these poems, the changing of the seasons is often compared to the turning of a wheel, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and the eternal cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The poems often honor the power of the sun, which is seen as a symbol of light and life, as well as the goddess and god of the sun.
DETROIT – Al the Octopus is a beloved symbol of passion, tradition, and a whole lot of winning for Detroit Red Wings fans.
But apparently fans of the NHL s 31 other teams aren t as enamored with the longtime purple mascot named for former Joe Louis Arena building operations manager and current Little Caesars Arena building operations manager Al Sobotka.

The poems often honor the power of the sun, which is seen as a symbol of light and life, as well as the goddess and god of the sun. The celebration of Yule is also a time for pagans to gather with friends and family to give thanks for the blessings of the past year and to look forward to the coming year. The poems that are recited at Yule often reflect this sense of gratitude and hope for the future.
Hockey octopus team mascot
Did you guys know this? I am just finding this out. I think maybe once kinda I sort of might have heard that the Wings had a weird short lived bird mascot back in the day, but I never knew what he looked like, his name, or what he stood for. My dad educated me well on Winged Wheeled history, but he never really filled me in on the Detroit Red Wings mascot situation regarding “The Winger”. For good reason too, my dad is a man who grew up with Lindsay, Howe, and gritty ole-tyme- no-mask-wearin ‘ hockey and didn’t pussy-foot around with things like mascots.
Well, according to the most reliable history source on the internet, Wikipedia…
In the 1980s the Detroit Red Wings also briefly had a mascot named The Winger. The Detroit Red Wings mascot “The Winger” appeared when Mike Ilitch bought the team in 1982 and continued mascoting until the end of the 1987 season.
Gordie and (fuck it) Winger muckin it up
What kinda bums me out is that his name isn’t just “Winger”. It’s more relatable and it’s like he’s your buddy. The Winger makes him sound like some sort of deity that haunts the stadium every year if the boys don’t make the playoffs .
But who cares. The Wings don’t go for cute cuddly buddy-up mascots. We don’t need some asshole covered in felt to make us proud or excited to root for our team. We just huck dead octopi on the ice then tell people unaware of the tradition that you used to have to win 8 games to win the Cup. That’s good enough justification for hurling the dead carcass of an aquatic beast on the ice every time we take a one goal lead in a playoff game. Remember when PETA tried to get us to stop doing that? And incentivized it with a shitty squish puss?
Furthermore, Al, and the playoff success he symbolizes have long been a point of pride that hockey fans in Detroit aren’t afraid to tout, so it’s easy to see why fans of opposing teams would be annoyed.
They may include images of warmth, light, and renewal, as well as references to nature and the changing seasons. In addition to reciting poems, pagans also often participate in other Yule rituals and customs, such as lighting candles or bonfires, decorating trees, and exchanging gifts. These traditions all have deep roots in pagan culture and are meant to honor and celebrate the turning of the seasons and the return of light and life after the darkness of winter. Overall, poems celebrating Yule in pagan practices are an important part of this ancient holiday and serve as a way for pagans to connect with nature, honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the cycle of life..
