Stories and Folklore#GothicAdvent Day 16:
Wisdom of the Darkness
At this time of the year, #Monday (The Day of the Moon) has a special significance; the shorter the days, the longer the night and in comes the domain of Monē. He is the light that shows us the way until the morning light that colours the darkness with light.
The #CunningFolk say "When we point a light in down a well it only shines a lamp on the darkness beneath. Do not let these tiny, worthless baubles pollute the renewal that comes with Yuletide."
For the Yule is linked both with the night and with the shining embrace of the moon. Yet without the darkness to illuminate, there is not beacon of hope to draw us forward.
