Odin as Gangleri,
the wanderer)
During this winter solstice /
yule & new years season I have
also for the first time performed the ritual of Årgang (Yearly Walk)
and this is undoubtly the heaviest ritual I have done
ever before! Heads up ;
that's not for everyone, when
you have to perform a meditational walk in the
middle of the night to the
cemetery and into the woods,
while there are ghosts & spirits
active, especially in this time
of the year.)

Yule Moon
(the first fullmoon after Winter Solstice,
this year it was at 25 of January,
in ancient pre-christian times
the Yule Moon was followed
by 3 following feast days.
In ancient pagan times when they did not have any calendar
to go by, instead they went by the lunar cycles,
from one full moon to another,
that was how months were counted, using the Winter Solstice
(21 december) as an anchor)
