Last year, on Módraniht (Mother's Night), I threaded beads and a Frigg pendant together as part of my meditation with the Dísir. Since then, I’ve worn this necklace whenever participating in a ritual for Frigg and/or the Dísir. As such, I wore it for much of this Winter Solstice weekend.

> I have never seen a more sublime demonstration of the totalitarian mind, a mind which might be likened unto a system of gears whose teeth have been filed off at random. Such a snaggle-toothed thought machine, driven by a standard or even a substandard libido, whirls with the jerky, noisy, gaudy pointlessness of a cuckoo clock in Hell.

When I'm not traveling for the holidays, my Módraniht (Mother's Night) tradition involves crafting a Yule wreath. And I do still intend to make a wreath; I've already gathered juniper branches trimmed from my front yard. But this year, as part of my meditation with the Dísir, ...

@Dustin Brecht was dead long before Blazing Saddles was made, but both Gene Wilder and Brooks' future wife, Anne Bancroft, had acted in the same production of Brecht's play "Mother Night", which also uses Epic Theater techniques. #bertoltbrecht #genewilder #annebancroft #mothernight #blazingsaddles

I lIke your drawings!

Modern Heathens celebrate Mother's Night, usually on the 20th - the eve of the Solstice. It's a celebration of both our physical mothers and the Mother Goddesses, in particular, Frigg in her role as the primary Mother Goddess.

(A side note to that: In recent years, I've actually heard some Heathens who've apparently been lnspired by Marvel's comic book portrayal of Frigg/Freya [who they often conflate 🙄] as the All-Mother. No idea what I think about that!)

It's also a time to reflect on the work of the year. That stems from the theory that on Mother's Night for the old Norse, women were to have completed all of their spinning and weaving for the year, and the holiday was also the start of a break in their usual Fibre work until the new year started.
