The season of Yule begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Heathen Night Before Yuletide
Author Unknown:
Rewritten by Vaygar-Ingvald Elmersson to reflect a more adequate style in meter and verse.
'Twas the night before Yuletide and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
I in my armor, my greaves and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.
I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
With four quarts of mead ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came sounds of a brawl
I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.
I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep?"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers with hammer and spear.
I said to myself, “I'll soon have them beat!"
Then noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt to the fray...
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.
For the one laid his hammer to side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
I heard a lone voice from down on the floor,
"They’re no mortal warriors -- that's Odin and Thor!"
They looked at each other and said, "Battle's done.
Since they know who we are, it’s no longer fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer at his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.
I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Quite certain I'd seen them somewhere before.
The snow bathed in moonlight, the stars intercede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed.
I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,
"TO HELA WITH YULETIDE, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Elder Rune: Dagaz: Light of day, total enlightenment, awakening, the AH-HA moment, benefit from new information, achieving balance, harmony, hyper-consciousness, the light of dawn, the twilight/dawn polarity, positive focus on life, light at the end of the tunnel, increase, growth, an ending prior to a beginning, transformation, possibly related to the 3rd eye; the mystical place where the two lobes of the brain join.

Who officiate as curing healers;
Know yourself, and you will know the world,
And learn to discern between evil and its causes.

Rune Lesson: Any enlightenment has the potential to allow us to become self-aware. As we benefit from new information we can discern causality. We make sense of how one thing relates to the other and that turns on the little light that says AH-HA! We are enlightened. We are all-knowing.

Toby and I out for a noon hour, troubling, 6-block walk. Once again Toby was attacked by this guy’s pit bull. He blamed me even though it was HIS pit bull that was loose and came at Toby from his yard. He told me it was going to be okay, but the his pit bull lashed out and Toby defended himself. Sure, Toby was off the leash but we were on the sidewalk. Either I am going to have to remember to put Toby on a leash when we come near that place or I’m going to have to avoid it all together. I feel like shit that I let this happen to my buddy.
*sunny, cool, northerly breeze.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG)/Day of Fertility/Saturn’s Day. Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
