Wiccan Silent Night

For The Magical Circle School's Yule Ritual. The circle opening to the tune of Silent Night.

This is a Wiccan/Pagan take on this song. If you are not appreciative of it, that is your right. However no one is forcing you to listen to it.

I love how everyone seems to think christianity was here first it was Wicca get it right, look up the meaning of Yule and Christmas, Christmas copied Yule

[Magicalcircleschool]

@KatieBlackrose Actually, Christianity predates Wicca. Paganism was first, then Christianity, Wicca did't come around until 1950 or so.

[KatieBlackrose]

@Magicalcircleschool actually Paganism is a early form of Wicca, Wicca is a branch of Paganism, Wicca was expecially present in the early colonial times, but people didn't openly practice until the 1950's so many people believe it to be a young religion when its not, I actually have a B.O.S. from the early 1700's so Wicca is truely older than most believe

[Magicalcircleschool]

@KatieBlackrose Wicca was created by Gerald Gardner.I believe what you are thinking of is a form of Paganism which was considered Witchcraft in that time, though Witchcraft is not a religion but a practice. Wicca, itself, was not created until the 50's. BOS were common and are not strictly a Wiccan thing, but actually are a part of many cultures that practice healing and natural magick.:-)

@Magicalcircleschool Pagans (early Wiccans) built Stonehenge and the other Stone Circles. They way predate christianity.

[Magicalcircleschool]

@ickiepoo There is no such thing as early Wiccans. Wicca was created in the 20th century. I am not going to argue this with you, Please learn your history. There is no arguing the facts here. Wicca does use aspects of early Paganism, however Wicca and Paganism are not the same thing.

Very beautiful lyrics to the song. I'm Catholic, and I do appreciate the ways we can bring more joy into the world, no matter what our religions. Blessings with you.

So beautiful. Silent Night is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and I love having a version that fits with my true spirituality. Blessed Be.

[YukiomiTribaltail]

Is it a funny thing that I tried to sing the whole song?

[msrebelchild]

[ZombiChick89]

@KatieBlackrose I agree , unfourtunatly only Wiccans will read the full history behind it , the rest just judges.

@KatieBlackrose i realize that the true meaning has been over run by the secular idea of Christmas, but my point is that it is completely wrong of you to say that Christians stole Christmas.

[KatieBlackrose]

@Magicalcircleschool ur right wicca is a branch of paganism just like cathlicism is a branch of christianity believe in the same thing jus practice it different, and if u want to get specific there are different branches of wicca as well depending on which Goddess and God or multiple that you worship it was not created in the 20th early wiccans used witchcraft as the title, and early wiccans hid during the burnin times out of fear they came out of the shadows in the 20th u need ur facts striaght

[KatieBlackrose]

@hammpster1 exactly but try and find 10 people that celebrate christmas and don't give a crap about the trees and lights and decorations and presents, youd be amazed @ how hard it is and some ppl tht celebrate it dont even know why

[hammpster1]

@KatieBlackrose just so you know, Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christs birth. the western culture stole the pagan traditions, but Christmas truly has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christmas trees and presents.

@Magicalcircleschool
