Another successful yule in the bag to close out 2024. Hearthfire in Georgia welcomes all inclusive Heathens!

Man what a time what a time! We always have so much fun with yule. I always wish we had unlimited time together for this event. I used to do these as multi-day retreats and had to stop just dud to logistical reasons. But 12 hours of non stop pagan fun is close enough I think!

We have our giant catered lunch thanks to long horn steak house and the lovely folks who pitch in extra dishes. Giving a huge shout out to Danu, Darby, and Nico for making sure the kitchen stayed organized and functional all day!

Then I personally picked out presents for all the kiddos individually and made sure they each got something really nice to open. A few of the folks who have helped me through the year got a little extra something from me as well, and then every one got a mjolnir Keychain to keep their faith with them in a discrete way.

We then did what I dub Raid Your Neighbor! That turned into more of a Viking Trading Post lol where folks randomly got a gift and then traded until every one was happy! It was really really fun. I got a bowl!

Then we were visited by Rauðr, a magical man dressed in all white blowing a great horn to announce his arrival. He seems straight out of time and myth as he led every one in a great sumbel filled with Roasts Boasts and Toasts!

Afterwards we were led in ritual by Ocean Keltoi where we honored some dozen or so Gods and the ancestors! It was amazing.

If you're in the Georgia area you should come visit us sometime! Join our discord The Hold and ask about attending a Hearthfire event! I'll get you set up! Always free. Never expecting anything other than good faith and fellowship.

Peace to you and yours this coming year.

Hail!
