2nd Day of Yule – The Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice represents the shortest day and the longest night. Winter begins for us in this modern era. We give HAIL to the turning of the wheel! From this day onward Sunna, the feminine aspect of the Sun, gains strength and eventually breaks winter's spell. Celebrate Sunna's return and the fertility she brings (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).

AM Armanen Rune: Gibor:
Havamal 163.
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).
<>
Interpretation: Balance (Jera) leading to the Spiritual ego (Gibor).

Outcome: Working; no the best way to spend this time of year, but necessary.

34F/1C, Toby will be outside.

Good AM work; in hard metals
Good @ work lunch; just relaxed
Good PM work; remained in hard metals; attitudes raging in burr-shop.

Socks was SO ready to come out from his house.

All Yule presents have arrived and accounted! This is going to be SO fun!

SUSHI...but it didn't hit the spot.

GODS, today's work kicked my ass. Sorry Toby, no walk this evening.

Fell asleep in that cursed green chair.

PM God/dess Meditation: Mano, god of the moon:
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
