Didn’t sleep well at all. Uncomfortable. No pain, just uncomfortable. Got up and turned on the tele only to find some really odd, old movie, probably from the early 1950s or so, about Martians who kidnapped Santa. A goofy Martian elf (I guess) stuffed his pants and donned Santa’s red suit, only to be confused by Martian kidnappers to be the real thing. The Martian Kidnappers, obviously bent on destroying the holiday, also sabotaged Santa’s toy-making machine to turn out odd combinations of toys; i.e., a doll’s head on a stuffed bear, or a baseball bat on a tennis racket. The real Santa and his cohorts eventually foiled the kidnappers, saved the day, and put things back in right order. I think I finally got to be circa 03:00/3AM.

Conversely:
Outside the favor of Alle-Vater Wotan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wotanic wisdom, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, spiritual shunning, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, tough-love Fathering, the absent All-Father, the shadow/dark/mysterious side of Alle-Vater Wotan.

The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.

38F/4C, SOME melting has started, but there’s still quite a bit of snow on the ground. It amazes me how much time Essie wants to spend in the back yard. I had to go bring her inside.

Mother's Night welcomes in the Season of Yule. As we encourage the return of Sunna (the feminine aspect of the Sun) we honor the feminine all around us. Honor the Idises, Asynjor, all Mothers, Great Grandmothers and your feminine ancestors. Raise a horn to the glorious women who give birth to us and to the feminine spirits that support us. Give this time in honor to all Mothering aspects (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).
