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, and the Northern Hemisphere. We give HAIL to the turning of the wheel! Today, the sun has reached her furthest point south. From this day onward Sunna, the feminine aspect of the Sun, gains strength, returns coming northward, and eventually breaks winter's spell. Celebrate Sunna's return and the fertility she brings (C.Reimer/V.Elmersson).

I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.
*no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.
*offered up some tobacco for Granny Aggie.

Armanen Rune: Yr:
Havamal 161:
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,

To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.
 
Lust/desire, seduction, reluctance, influence, second thoughts, a change of heart, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, well grounded, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).

Interpretation: Wealth, or lack thereof (Fehu) brings influence (Yr).

At Family Dollar I picked up a replacement artificial tree as the one in the front yard has gone dark.  When I went to put in the replacement tree, I discovered the reason why the 1st tree went dark; VANDALISM!  JsFnChst!  Someone cut the wire.  I trimmed back some wire, twisted it and taped it back together.  We shall see if I got it right when the timer turns them on.

At the advice from my veterinary, I ordered Cosequin chews https://www.chewy.com/nutramax-cosequin-ds-plus-msm-soft/dp/126227 from Chewy.com for Toby.

Ordered a VERY LARGE box of incense from Amazon.com.  Where the hela did that gift card come from?

Beautiful fog!  My ABSOLUTELY most favorite kind of weather!  It’s too bad it’s waisted so late in the night.  I would’ve LOVED to get out in it.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit) 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.
