Yuletide

The winter wind blew for the first time through the forest and the whole coven felt the announcement of the beggining of Yule. Men and women were gathered within the snow covered forest moved up towards the hilltop, among them a young boy ran through the woods feeling the cold wind on his face as he raced up, his boots smashed into the branches and leaves making them crack up while he kept running, breathing heavily and happily on the cold air he turned and saw people stopping on some trees while others kept moving towards the hilltop as he was. 

His cloak got stick on a tree making him almost meet the ground, he stumbled, pulled the warm fabric, left out a giggle and kept running up, a flute bouncing on his back as he held his bag tightly next to him.

Finally he reached the top of the hill and looked around, all the trees were being shadowed by a man or a women, they all pulled their respective flutes from their backs and a little box out of their bags. Everyone was ready and he had to get into his place, so quickly and with a huge smile on his face he started climbing the thick tree trunk facing up at the skies.

The cold air played with his hair as he kept moving close to the tree, his hands holding firmly to the rind, he arrived to one of the top branches and sit there. The whole hill descended towards him and the forest showed his elegance and magnificence in the night, while gazing at the breath taking view his sight got clouded and a pair of tears rolled down his face and arched into his smile. 

Deep in and out he took a slow breath and then looked up to the silver shinning moon it was time, he pulled a little box out of his bag and opened it. He then openned a little iron lamp with crystal sides, took a match from the box and lit the candle within the lamp. After this the rested his back on the tree and pulled the flute to his lips.

He started blowing a song that  went down hill into the woods as little lights were lit in all the trees around, slowly the whole hill was lit by the lamps and the flute song got carried away into the forest announcing that the Yuletide had begun. The brighter times were now coming to the land and the hill glow with the warmth of the spirit from the coven as they all started following the song one by one, the song quickly became the powerful bewitching anthem of joy and glory. 

Up high into the skies rose the music of the night carrying the coven's spirits, wishes and blessings into the heavens. The time of joy had begun and it light up the darkness of the forest as the flame of hope that was lit by everyone giving warmth and light into the dark and cold forest as a shinning pillar of hope the music and the light rose up into the heaven covering everyone's dreams giving hope and love into the world.

The time to rejoice has come, join the mainstay of the coven, we invite you, raise your spirit and feel the music of the night, let us illuminate the world in these times of darkness and bring the warmth of love to those who are in the cold of loneliness.
