December/Iulmond 21, 2014 Sunnastac

(Iulmond = Yule month)

I have NO IDEA what happen last night during sleep; no alcohol, no smoke, but I passed out in the Green Chair at some point, then woke up at 01:30/1:30AM.  Undisturbed by Toby I slept-in until almost 07:00/7AM.

The Essie/Toby mouse killing team is on it this morning!  Essie flushes them out and Toby finishes them off.

The “Good Yule” project is complete and re-hung. 

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!  Take time to honor this very holy night.

Plans: clean house and finish laundry 

AM Meditation: Sunnastac/Sunday, we meditate on Sunna, goddess of the Sun:
Greetings to you Sunna, in all your feminine, fertile glory; Lamp of Wodan, newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will yet shine on our decedents yet unborn. Share with us some of your light, your energy, your power, so that we might better fight our battles and attain our goals. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the Sunna that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Ar:  
Havamal 153.
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me 
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

PM Meditation: Eger und Râhana, mysterious keepers of the deep hall at ocean’s bottom, host to the drowned and the sea lost. Your dwelling might be thought sad and gloomy, but you are known to be kind and hospitable ale givers. In your goodness then, cheer us when waves of misfortune pound our life’s fragile boats to the bottom. For even at the bottom, there is warmth, cheer and hope. Be our assurance; be our inspiration to strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, EGER UND RÂHANA, as we honor the Eger und Râhana that resides in us all!

PM Clarification Rune: none
