Blessed Be and welcome to the African American Wiccan Support Group. It is my belief that there are many African Americans like myself, who are interested in the structure of the Wiccan philosophy, but have no support system, as there are with others religions such as Kemetic, Egyptian, Shango, Voodum and etc. Please join us and have a drink of warm wine. You have found a home to discuss the theory of Wicca, swap knowledge and spells, and share your experiences. This belief system is new to many of us, but please leave all negative energy outside of the door. It is my wish that this group helps people of color to ease into this earth based system, learn about African deities, learn to commune with the Ancestral Spirits and pay honor to the Mother-Goddess and Her Consort.



Yule -- Winter Solstice -- Yuletide: Yule is most often seen as the time of year when the Mother Goddess gives birth to the God of Light. Winter Solstice, is the spoke in the Wheel of the Year when the waxing Sun overtakes the waning Sun. This was seen in ancient times as a divine struggle between the Holly King--the death aspect of the God--and the Oak King, which is the rebirth aspect, or more commonly, The Divine Child.
Such imagery arose from a time when the ancient Pagan folk needed to comfort themselves during long and merciless winters and ensure the continuity of the seasons through worship of the God of Light and his Great Mother Goddess.
This ancient concept was adopted by the Christian church in 273 C.E. (Common Era) to fit their nativity legend. They chose the month of December because of its many festivals and the strong association of The Divine Child concept in so many cultures as well.
