Yule: Missing Section Restored
The text of The New Pagans’ Handbook on this website has been put together by comparing two typescripts, which have a tiny number of variants from each other. Until now missing from both typescripts was the Preamble section of the chapter on Yule. In fact, we were wondering whether it had ever existed, though it seemed odd, since all the other ceremonies are introduced by preambles. But now the missing page has finally come to light at the bottom of a drawer:
Yule
Preamble
This is very much a festival of the Northern Hemisphere where it makes seasonal sense. For us it is an occasion of enormous significance, for it is the feast of the Star Child, whose coming was foretold at the Reading of the Festivals.
