The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/lord-of-misrule)
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, keeping Sol in the solstice, more Saturnalia accompanied by toga-free attire, exchanged gifts, simmer pots, cookies, and a Lord of Misrule to oversee the festivities. Blessings of the returning sun in the north and the height of summer in the south. Join us for more shameless Paganism at the Wild Hunt.
CHICAGO, Ill. –Theatergoers who live close to the Windy City will have a special treat this year from the troupe Terra Mysterium in the form of “A Midwinter Mummers Tale.” The play is being described as “an original folk adaptation of Charles Dickens’ beloved classic A Christmas Carol.” Those who are familiar with the classic story of redemption for Ebenezer Scrooge will no doubt find the theme familiar, but this is really an entirely new play. It draws upon spirits and gods in a way that might be more familiar to the modern Pagan than the average consumer of winter holiday entertainment.
