Day 7 of #Yule
One of the cornerstones of pagan traditions and living is hospitality.
We celebrate this by inviting a friend into your home and offering warm food and beverages.
Light the fire for them and a candle as a sign of friendship.
Toast Thor, the Thunder God, thanking him for protection.

Today we give honor to Eir, hoping for a healthy year to come.
As a handmaiden of Frigga, Eir was the healer of the gods and goddesses. Eir taught the power of healing to women. We call upon Eir when any of us are ill and ask for her help

Day 3 of #Yule is Mistaltan or Mistletoe as it's commonly known now, holds symbolism for fertility, luck, peace, and strength.
We hang it in the doorway, where it's believed it will ward off evil spirits and offer protection from storms & lightning.

The Wild Hunt is the hunting party of the Gods in the sky led by Odin and his horse Sleipnir, who could leap incredible distances. Children would place their boots by the fireplace and fill them with treats for Sleipnir. Odin would repay their kindness with gifts and other treats.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

This has been in the press for 2 days.
The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…
