12th Night
Thus ends the season of Yule as we prepare for the upcoming year. Take time to remember from whence you came, as well as a time to make plans for the near future. Raise your horn high to honor your gods and ancestors. Honor each other and the inner workings of your relationships. Take oaths on oath rings. Make promises to yourself and others. Read the Runes for a glimpse into next year (may we suggest the three-Rune Norns spread).
In our lore, Var is a hand-maiden of Frija. In the Prose Edda (pg. 46), it is said she listens to people's oaths and private agreements that women and men make between each other. Thus, these contracts are called varar. She also punishes those who break them.
Hold inventory within yourself or your group so you know your present position in relation to where you want to be. Continue to build the weavings of your Wyrd positively. The luck within you depends on it. Remember, "Luck often enough will save a man (or woman) if his (or her) courage holds” (The 13th Warrior, parentheticals added).
“Yuletide festivities conclude on Twelfth Night. Many modern Heathens will sync this with New Year’s Eve. It’s the last big party to celebrate a new year, celebrate the passing of the darkest (and in theory coldest of times) and to look forward to the lengthening days and warming temperatures.”

RAISE YOUR HORN! TIP YOUR GLASS! GIVE HAIL TO 12TH NIGHT AND THE NEW YEAR!

New Years Eve Rune Reading using the Norn’s Spread https://tikkiweb.net/2005/08/three-rune-spread-description/#:~:text=The%20three%20rune%20spread%20is%20also%20known%20as%20the%20Norns.&text=According%20to%20myth%2C%20the%20three,present%2C%20and%20Skuld%20the%20future.
Urda: That which was:
Elder Rune: Naudiz: The Rune of Need (whether mortal, emotional, spiritual), a Wurtâ Rune, forced friction, a stress indicator, opportunity for change, urgency, a generating force for the greater good, friction, transformation, resistance leading to strength, perseverance to endure, eventual peace within the Self, accept the unchangeable, an evolutionary change toward a more holistic state, Fate.

Armanen Rune: Hagal:
Havamal 152:
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.
To actively protect/enclose/destroy, danger brought under control, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother/Center of the Rune Tree, the cohesion of the world, die (pronounced ‘dee’ German for ‘the’) Alle Mutter, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.

Armanen Rune: Ka:
Havamal 151:
A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.
Imperviousness, a reversal of fortune, the world tree, preservation of tribe or race, ancestors/ancestry, loyalty, that which is existing, defense, the polarity of the male/female principle in the Universe, opposing energies, earthly love, as executive power of balancing justice, art, capability, artist, genius, being favored, procreation, the child, force, that which is established, World Tree/the Irminsul/the All, power, generation, ability and artfulness, sensuality, higher consciousness, return.
“Your blood, your highest possession” (List, 53).
*H1R6; Halbdutzend 1, root 6, Irminsul’s root of creation
Interpreted:
This has been a tough year, but strength is derived from it. Thanks to the blessings of the All-Mother, all danger is brought under control. At present, however, honor is in tact. Dedication to an ideal gives victory. Success is predicated on the presumption of maintaining a dedication to the highest ideal. Furthermore, it may be necessary to temporarily separate from society in order to achieve loyalty in others. It may be necessary to prove that what has been accomplished is worthy of note.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Donarstag/An: Thor’s Day/Die [(German for feminine “the”) (pronounced “Dee”)] Wurtâ/An: the Norns:
Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
