Yule Celebration

Celebrating Pagan holidays on Second Life just isn't the same anymore without my best friend, Kumani. Collaborating with her meant something special was brewing and the energy was palpable.  When our event was over, you felt revived, refreshed, at peace. You knew you were connected with those around you in an undescribable way, even on a virtual level.

 At the request of some clan members I signed up to host an event for Yule. I decorated, got my ceremony all laid out, dressed up, and was ready to go! I sent out my notice an hour before as we normally do. Not two minutes later, another clan member sent out her notice for her event four hours later.  Frankly it was rude. So I said fuck it, made an excuse and logged. No one was coming anyway despite the requests. Maybe I was looking for an excuse to bail.

That pretty well sums up the feeling in the clan for the month of December. No one was motivated to do much of anything. And when we did, there was zero support. Final exams, the holidays, and the pressure of RL made everyone retreat to their homes.  We are getting back to a good place now- help, support, excitement.

I did learn more about the story of Yule; I got to wear my awesome Ghost of Christmas Present gown that Kumani gave me; and I did the ceremony for myself in a quiet way and felt good doing it.
