weret_hekau has posted something quite lovely
here on the deeper meaning of the season, and I am pleased to call it to your attention. Her tradition represents something more central and substantial than the more oh so gentle strands of Wicca and the more depressingly grim sides of Asatru, and I am glad to be reminded of it. I am especially pleased to note a fellow Philadelphian (not a Quaker), the late Charles Godfrey Leland, as revealing it to the modern world.
