Did you have a Good ????;>
Sep. 22nd, 2012 09:57 amIf you’re a Heathen and not a member of a particular kindred or Branch(and even if you are;>), you’re familiar with the experience. Even the “Big Three” mandated in Lore get arguments of When and What They’re About…and that’s not to mention the rest of the year. The “Good Thing” about this Ambiguity is that it sends the Fluffies running for “Glassy Bird-Dog’s” books in the Newage section;>.What, When and Who? The big questions Heathens get to “deal” with every month.
Even being of a particular kindred or branch doesn’t “save” you. Both of mine were run by “frustrated scriptwriters” so they were seldom the same yr-to-yr. Some folks Like this Freedom. Others, like me who prefer more Stability in their Spiritual Practice aren’t so Positive.
This yr for me has been Trying on a number of Planes and this Ambiguity has given me license to slack off more than I should. I’ve been Pondering a number of solutions and one that has strong appeal is to re-Vike the Wiccan Yr-Wheel as Mr McNallen did oh so many yrs ago except to adjust for my local conditions. Then, search for appropriate Nordic Holy Rites and when there aren’t, hold Blots for God/desses that ARE. There are other contenders but right now that’s the strongest that solves the most problems(other than it’s not Historical;>). I don’t live in an area that Iron-Age Heathens lived and worshiped. Heck, I don’t live in a BIOME where they did(and left records at least). I’m pretty much where my Ancestral Huntsman, Fisherman or Herdsman was when they Emigrated to a New Land. So I’ll probably do what they did…..
Cheers,
Pat
