The First Day of Yuletide - December 20!

Sunna begins her return! Let us greet her with the flame of love, as we light a candle - perhaps one on the Yule log decorating our living rooms!

This first day of Yule, we remember Industriousness.

Yuletide is (in theory!) a time of relaxation and recuperation. The rest of the year, however, is a time of work, of projects awaiting completion, of chores. Stressful? Yes, but a job well done, an idea made tangible, can also be a form of stress reliever. Accomplishment gives us peace of mind, inward calm, and a sense of worth.

Let us be industrious!

This day, I will pour a libation to Sunna, to give good speed to her return.

I will be Industrious this day.
