This is my first year celebrating both Yule and Christmas, and I feel closer to God and more spiritual than ever. I love combining the customs, and this music is absolutely beautiful. Happy and Blessed Yule.
Beautiful. I don't consider myself religious as i don't believe in any kind of deity but i love the harmless traditions of many religions and cultures. I can't understand why many persons turn out agressive against others just for so stupid reasons. I love what you said: "we have to share the earth"... We all have the same rights to be alive and to be different, and we should do it with respect for others and for this world.
Very beautiful, thank you!! I agree with not converting anyone (as Polytheists, we Pagans should all know that there are countless spirits and deities and everyone has a unique spiritual path, which they alone can find). As far as the hostility towards other religions, it is completely understandable that there are still some feelings of anger regarding the religion that was brought into power (and remains in power still) through the brutal torture and killing of pagans who refused to convert; especially since it's a part of history that's largely ignored by public school systems. Other "evil dictators" in history are regarded as such, except for Charlamagne and Constantine who are -despite their horrific actions- still glorified by the Catholic Church (while our ancestors' legends are falsified and their practices demonized in order to make the actions of the church look better). Hostility in retaliation is not the best course of action in this day in age, of course, but we should certainly stand for people being properly educated about these events so that they are not repeated in the future. Just my two cents :) Happy Solstice to you!
thankyou for acknowledging the pain, so often anger and reaction come from not being understood, I feel a lot of anger when I sit through a christian mass or school concert that represents the patriarchal one god and son of god as the hope of peace and light on earth, the absence of balance is actually painful to me, and the virgin mother is an affront to the sexuality of women, even for the making of a child she was not allowed to be sexual! Let alone her pleasure for the healing and celebration of being a woman! Just my perspective... I believe that its not realistic to expect unity unless we make a space to hear each others' grievances and learn from each other...particularly the dominant culture need to hear the less dominant cultures...
Your talent as a video artiste' never ceases to amaze me: You bring still-photos to life with words of wisdom and insight. Educational, entertaining, and excellent, as always. Good photography too. Bright Blessings and Blessed Solstice.
Thank you so very much for this beautiful Solstice Celebration form our Enya.. Happy Solstice from me to everyone here enjoying this beautiful song!!🎵❄️☀️❄️🎶
*sigh of contentment* Beautiful Lisa. That soothed my soul. Thank you. We may not all agree on the particulars, but all of us desire peace and harmony. I celebrate both too. A merry solstice and Christmas to you. Blessings of the Light with you be.
Lisa, You are wonderful at putting things into words, and into video. As always this is lovely. It is calming, restful, peaceful and beautiful. As is your spirit. Love, LilyAZ
Thank you soooo much for another beautiful video! You are a blessed artist with an amazing talent! And your wise words deeply touched my heart. I wish everyone would be able to understand. Wishing you a truely blessed Yule!!
I've always been an Enya fan, plus love this rendition of silent night, my spiritual path is pagan/wiccan but I do love things from other religions as well...Their deities are of peace unconditional love and compassion as well, and this is the time of year it really shines! I just want to wish everyone a blessed holiday season!
So beautiful Lisa! May all religions who celebrate this month be Blessed with love, peace and understanding! A Blessed Winter Solstice/Happy Christmas to you and yours from us..Jan and Susan.xx
Beautiful video! Made me go & have a bowl of Hot Soup cos am cold now =) lol Love from Scotland Paul xoxo Merry Christmas & Happy Hogmanay/Ne'er Day xx
I love this song! I don't know if you've heard it, but the perfect song to what you're trying to communicate in the description would be "Share The Light" Pagan Yule Carols by Karina Skye!
Silent Night, solstice night, all is calm, all is bright, nature slumbers in forest and glen, ‚till in springtime, she wakens again, sleeping spirits grow strong, sleeping spirits grow strong. Silent night, solstice night, silver moon, shining bright, snowfall blankets, the slumbering earth, Yule fires welcome the sun’s rebirth, hark the light is reborn, hark the light is reborn. Silent night, solstice night, quiet rest, till the light turning ever, the rolling wheel, brings the winter to compfort and heal, rest your spirit in peace, rest your spirit in peace. Thank-you ❤
The music is beautiful-- I've always liked Enya-- and I absolutely love the lyrics you've written! :) Now if we can just get someone to sing your lyrics in Gaelic to the tune of Silent Night... That would be so perfect! (I was actually kind of sad when I realized that wasn't what she was singing. Your lyrics are lovely.)
Very nice Lisa.... Thank you...x "Opinions are not usually my thing when it comes to religion." Opinions are from the Mind. Religion is from the Heart. I guess...;)
Simply lovely. What language is she singing in? I hope all had a wonderful and blessed Yule or what ever celebration they call there own. Tis the rebirth of the Sun Gods and to him will his strength grow as the seed with in the womb of life soon sprouting forth the bounty yet again to feed us emotionally, psychically and spititually.
On December 25, the Sun begins its ascent to the throne, and will occupy it until June 22. Then the Sun transfers its powers to the Moon, which is celebrated as the Christmas of the Moon by Muslims. Now, December 21st, are the most difficult energetic days without the physical support of the sun. Everything that was subtle ended, died and disappeared. And those who survived - December 25 takes a new turn of the solar annual cycle. From this day on, the Sun will begin to increase the day by a few seconds. I congratulate you, gentlemen, that together we again enter this Solar Cycle!
For some odd reason it's not working! I've tried to send a reply here with the youtube address, but it keeps saying error.... Maybe if you look up Karina Skye here on youtube, you should find the song after that! Sorry!
The minute I shared this, Christian friends became hostile...now there's a surprise. Especially as this time of year originally was dedicated to the winter solstice..the church added Christ-mass later.
of course if you live in the southern hemisphere you'll be celebrating the summer solstice on the 21st December, and the winter solstice on the 21st of June.
The pagan lyrics are beautiful, but I think the Gaelic is still the Christian version, which I always thought sounded nicer than the German or English, but it would be nice to hear the pagan lyrics as Gaeilge. Nollaig Shona Duit
It's not about "converting". We know what happened with the Great Godess cause there stood no knights or soldiers to fight for her. Either Pagans and Heatherns defend themselves if neccesary, or they will burn in the religious fires of the monotheists.
This is my first year celebrating both Yule and Christmas, and I feel closer to God and more spiritual than ever. I love combining the customs, and this music is absolutely beautiful. Happy and Blessed Yule.
Its the celabration of coming of spring. New life for generations to grow,live,
prosper.
Beautiful. I don't consider myself religious as i don't believe in any kind of deity but i love the harmless traditions of many religions and cultures.

We all have the same rights to be alive and to be different, and we should do it with respect for others and for this world.
Just beautiful and a nice introduction for those just curious or learning of the season
I cannot stop watching and listening...it brings tears of joy. Thank you. Enya, thank you, Witches Sky. Blessed Be.
Peace and love to all

Silent Night, solstice night, all is calm,
all is bright,
nature slumbers in forest and glen, ‚till in springtime, she wakens again,
sleeping spirits grow strong, sleeping spirits grow strong.
Silent night, solstice night, silver moon, shining bright, snowfall blankets,
the slumbering earth,
Yule fires welcome the sun’s rebirth,
hark the light is reborn, hark the light is reborn.
Silent night, solstice night, quiet rest, till the light
turning ever, the rolling wheel,
brings the winter to compfort and heal,
rest your spirit in peace, rest your spirit in peace.
Thank-you ❤
Breath in, it is winter
Where else will I find peace if not in the winter, under the canopy of heaven?

Just heard the second song and realized this is Enya, great music choice.
The music is beautiful-- I've always liked Enya-- and I absolutely love the lyrics you've written! :) Now if we can just get someone to sing your lyrics in Gaelic to the tune of Silent Night...

I'm trying to learn all that I can so when my best friend and I start dating I can become a full Wiccan. Right now I'm just a "weekend" Wiccan.
Beautiful! What language is this in?
of course if you live in the southern hemisphere you'll be celebrating the summer solstice on the 21st December, and the winter solstice on the 21st of June.
Very beautiful, though the lyrics move a bit too slow compared to the music.
very good 5*

Perfect : Thank you
Love this song, wish more would pay attention to the words instead of pounding on some religious book.
Love the song, would have like reading the lyrics, though.
I love the song but i cant tell if its in English or not... Is it? )O(
I think it's Irish.
