Gods of Ice, Snow and Midwinter - Lecture

Rebecca Beattie's online lecture examines traditional winter celebrations, and the deities people have engaged with since ancient times in the season of cold and darkness. In the cold,  people have hunkered down at the hearth, but  the icy season his its own deities, and in the darkness humans rekindle their spark of hope for the coming new year. This introductory talk, aimed at new and exploring witches and magical folk, shines a light on the Winter Gods of the North, together with ways to make the season magical.
