Yule Lore (December 21st)
Yule is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. Known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, much celebration was to be had as the ancestors awaited the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth and made her to bear forth from seeds protected through the fall and winter in her womb. Bonfires were lit in the fields, and crops and trees were “wassailed” with toasts of spiced cider.
The Yule log for modern practitioners would be the type that is used as a base to hold three candles. Find a smaller branch of oak or pine, and flatten one side so it sets upright. Drill three holes in the top side to hold red, green, and white (season), green, gold, and black (the Sun God), or white, red, and black (the Great Goddess). Continue to decorate with greenery, red and gold bows, rosebuds, cloves, and dust with flour.
Deities of Yule are all Newborn Gods, Sun Gods, Mother Goddesses, and Triple Goddesses. The best known would be the Dagda, and Brighid, the daughter of the Dagda. Brighid taught the smiths the arts of fire tending and the secrets of metal work. Brighid’s flame, like the flame of the new light, pierces the darkness of the spirit and mind, while the Dagda’s cauldron assures that Nature will always provide for all the children.

an thing from last december for the winter solstice. New beginnings!
Happy Winter Solstice to all my followers. It may be the darkest day of the year but I hope you all know you bring light into my life.
Omg this is like 800 metaphors rolled into one megaphor
I would like everyone to know that vulture vomit is very stinky. It smells of rotting flesh and they use it to drive away predators

hey, at least have a picture of the American vultures doing this, not eurasian/african vultures, they are very different creatures!
Apparently vultures are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so there is nothing ICE can do about this except politely try to shoo the birds away.

It's the summer solstice and a new moon, let's make this a turning point for a summer of new beginnings, happiness, and peace.
Take care of yourselves please ☀️
So. @roguetatertot has a headcanon that, as Cloud is from Nibelheim, that his native language is Nibelwegian, which is similar to Norwegian. This is Swedish, but let’s say Nibelwegian has similarities to various Nordic/Scandinavian languages.
I think this would be a very old, traditional lullaby in the Nibelheim region, and that Cloud’s mother probably sang it to him when he was little.
A rainy day
May I live this day Compassionate of heart, Clear in word, Gracious in awareness, Courageous in thought, Generous in love.
