The Erie County Witches' Meetup had a very nice Yule today at Trance Night Club. We had a few folks who were new, and some folks who were old friends. At one point before we began, Selkie called me over and asked me to back her up in signing The King, which is an old Christmas Carol that was recorded by Loreena McKennitt. So, we made fools of ourselves and had a grand old time singing.
Years ago, we had a circle here, and Sharon, Selkie and I sort of spontaneously started singing it in harmony. (Well, it was easy for me, since the guy's voice takes the melody.) The funny thing is that I never gotten into karaoke while out at bars, as the kinds of music I like are generally not exactly top 40 (well, in the past few hundred years, anyway.)
But it was cool that I actually got to sing something I genuinely liked at a location that I thought I would not have been likely to sing it at.
The circle went fairly well. There are several other Yule observances happening in the next week or so. We mentioned those as well at the end.
