Is this what you are lookinf for Mistress Shtick?
The winter solstice ritual was called Lenaea, the Festival of the Wild Women. In very ancient times, a man representing the harvest god Dionysos was torn to pieces and eaten by a gang of women on this day. Later in the ritual, Dionysos would be reborn as a baby. By classical times, the human sacrifice had been replaced by the killing of a goat. The women's role had changed to that of funeral mourners and observers of the birth.

Yikes. Well, was quite a festival. I am not sure if it is the right one. I think it may be too late for me to get motivated about it; considering I left off on the Horrorscopes and all.

Hmmmmm Yule Gods, eh? Sabbat Deities: Lucina (Roman goddess of Lunar Mysteries) Frey (Scandanavian God of Fertility) Attis (Phrygian Fertility god) Dionysus (Greek God of Wine) Woden (Chief Teutonic God) Kriss Kringle (Pagan god of Yule ) www.jackowitch.com/Yule.htmlAppropriate Yule Goddesses are all Spinning Goddesses. Some Yule Goddesses are: Angerona (Roman), Eve (Hebraic), Pandora (Greek), Zvezda (Slavic), Metzli (Aztec), Yachimato-Hime (Japanese), Tiamat (Babylonian), NuKua (Chinese) Appropriate Yule Gods are all Re-Born Sun Gods. Some Yule Gods are: Apollo (Greco-Roman), Balder (Norse), Oak/Holly King (Anglo-Celti www.zuvuya.net/sites/babylontravel/english/spiritual/frame_solstice.htmI admit it, I have SERIOUS doubts about that "pagan god" "Kris Kringle" Uh huh. I've looked all over for what I would consider a reputable history of the KK myth and I'm not at all certain about the truth at this point, but I'm PRETTY sure that's not a pagan god. There's probably an old pagan god behind it some where but I don't know Who. Add to the collection above the Stag King and the Winter Crone. Does that help? Bright blessings, mystic

That reminds me of the Myth joke, Miss Mystic Rainbow. And isn't that a pleasant image-name? Yes, it is.
Sir Nunius? Can males be nuns? Or maybe none could and that is how they got the nun-of-us-sounding name.
Okay, time for heavy research.
Oh, and that paper got trashed. I am still looking for it, but the search has progressed to the outside.

I think I shall take a picture just like my avatar and post it some time. Wouldn't that be nice?
Okay, Cernnunus. This may not be so hot since I know nada/nyet of Celt mythology/religion. You know, may I wander a bit and say the other day someone asked me what the diff. was between religion and mythology (they asked me cuz I am so knowlegeable-looking. Must be the wine glass).
Cernnunos (take two-I am getting there, don't rush me-all good things in time and this, I think, will be really good).
Cernnunos-God of nature and fertility, underworld and animals (is there anything else?). Alrighty, this is an old one. He is from the All Mother, Anu. Did you knew? I Anu. He has many aliases but is mostly a Celtic God. Meaning they carried the tale, and art, best. Go Celts. Now, may I take a moment and say the Celts are a combo of what? Northern English and Viking types, aren't they? I think so, why not.
Cernnunos- Sir nun knows is the pronunciation. If he had been more positive he could have been Cernuyes, but hey...
He is the all god. Sits cross-legged and has a nice antler crown. The fella doesn't seem to have many vices, unlike the Greek Gods/Goddesses. So, he sits under a big ole oak tree and IS the earth. His roots are into the earth, his back the forest and his.......head the sky (Oh, but, make no mistake, he is no airhead). He is also the underworld fella, it seems that is where he resides, too. He is a big guy.
You can find his pics on cave walls and such. Way older than all these modern Gods, oh yes. But remeber women first. Even though he is the Son of this Anu, he is also thought to be the Earth father.
This article called him the Green God, ho ho ho, Green Giant! God of foliate, I could use a little foliating God myself. He has a cameo in Shakespeare's play as Hern-the-Hunter. For all it's worth. Oh, and he is now a.k.a. as God of Witches. Why, I do not know.
There it is. I did not know all of this. Huh.

My wordy self tonight would like to add that I found, at the library, a cool set of tapes on mythology by this Prof. And in it he said women were the start and head of the world because we, I am one, were such mysteries: birth and all that multi-tasking. So, most beliefs had us at the head of the class.
Now, if you read the Da Vinci Code you will get a glimpse of what this Prof. was saying about how our power and clout was eroded away. Sheesh.

Nice job on Sir nun knows, Gabbin. I knew nun of that. I think though that Celtic encompasses Brit/Ireland/Scottish stuff, but I could be wrong. Vikings are Norse, I know that.
I just read something similiar to your women started it all tape. It had to do with the Greek myths I think, or maybe Egyptian. I can't remember which, but involved the Moon and Sun. Maybe I'll dig it up, (and I don't have to rummage through the trash to do this), and we can discuss.
Oooo, it also had a bit about Apollo vs. Helios as the sun god. Remember that debate? Who rode the chariot across the sky? Helios was first, then evolved into Apollo. Or something like that. I skimmed too quickly, I think.

Excellant job ladies! A little extra info for you..... In some celtic tribes the king or leader was considered to be the representative of Cernnunos and as such was required to go through a ceremony upon taking his kingship in which twin dragons were tattoed on his arms. It was supposed to signify his marriage to the land and his duty to protect his people.
