The Twelve Labours of Heracles
In my first year of penance my cousin set for me
A lion with invulnerability
In my second year of penance my cousin set for me
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my third year of penance my cousin set for me
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my fourth year of penance my cousin set for me
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my fifth year of penance my cousin set for me
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my sixth year of penance my cousin set for me
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my seventh year of penance my cousin set for me
A havoc-wreaking bull
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my eighth year of penance my cousin set for me
Horses that eat people
A havoc-wreaking bull
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my ninth year of penance my cousin set for me
The Amazon queen’s belt
Horses that eat people
A havoc-wreaking bull
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my tenth year of penance my cousin set for me
The cows of a giant
The Amazon queen’s belt
Horses that eat people
A havoc-wreaking bull
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my eleventh year of penance my cousin set for me
Dragon-protected apples
The cows of a giant
The Amazon queen’s belt
Horses that eat people
A havoc-wreaking bull
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability
In my twelfth year of penance my cousin set for me
The Underworld’s guard dog
Dragon-protected apples
The cows of a giant
The Amazon queen’s belt
Horses that eat people
A havoc-wreaking bull
A fearsome flock of birds
VAST AMOUNTS OF SHIT
A huge raging boar
A deer with super speed
A many-headed Hydra
And a lion with invulnerability

Butchart Gardens Christmas Lights
Near Victoria in British Columbia is a magnificent group of floral display gardens called Butchart Gardens. Every year they decorate with lights for the holidays, and the theme this year is The Twelve Days of Christmas. I joined a group on a bus tour to the gardens and we thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours appreciating the sights. As we walked around we heard countless people singing to remind

“in Brittany and in Wales, the Twelve Days of Christmas, which mark the intercalary days of the year, are called ‘the Omen Days,’ and they have a special purpose. ‘Intercalary days’ are really the days left over from reckoning up the solar year and, in calendars throughout the world and at different times, they are special because they are considered to be ‘the days out of time.’  It is in this interval between the ordinary count of days that gods are born or conceived in many different mythologies, including the Irish one, where Oengus Og, Young Angus, is conceived, grown and born at BrĂșg na Boinne within this time, all in one day, by the magical workings of the Dagda.”

The 12 Days of Christmas Algorithm, or: a random thing that I figured out so I could answer a question my brother asked.
Here's how it works:
X = chosen day Y = number of days until the 12th + 1 Z = total number of things
X * Y = Z
Resulting calculations below (in reverse order to be annoying), as well as the graph generated when I put the results into Excel.
1st day: 12 partridges, 12 pear trees 2nd day: 22 turtle doves 3rd day: 30 French hens 4th day: 36 calling birds 5th day: 40 gold rings 6th day: 42 gees a-laying 7th day: 42 swans a-swimming 8th day: 40 maids a-milking 9th day: 36 ladies dancing 10th day: 30 lords a-leaping 11th day: 22 pipers piping 12th day: 12 drummers drumming

St Egwin’s Day/ Five Gold Rings
Tumblr media
Source: Handmade Charlotte website
Today is St Egwin’s Day. Egwin was a seventh century English saint about whom a number of far fetched tales are told. Denounced as a liar and a thief, Egwin proved his innocence through the unusual method of locking his own feet in manacles, walking to Rome and, when in the presence of the Pope, converting a fish he had bought into the key to his fetters. He founded Evesham Abbey and allegedly deflected a large clod of earth thrown by a jealous Satan at the new building by the power of prayer. The earth instead fell on Warwickshire where it was eventually named Meon Hill. Egwin also punished a group of ungodly blacksmiths who were rude to him by giving them tails. What allegories lie behind these odd stories are very difficult to discern.
Today is also the Fifth Day of Christmas on which, according to the old carol The Twelve Days of Christmas, the singer’s true love presents him or her with Five Gold Rings. The song originated as a Christmas game in which singers were required to remember and recite the growing number of daily gifts, and failure to do so resulted in elimination from the game. The first line ‘a Partridge in a Pear Tree’ is likely to be a mishearing: the original line was ‘a Part of a Juniper Tree’, a plant that gives off a sweet smell when burnt and apparently wards off evil spirits, which is a rather more logical Christmas gift than the famous partridge sitting in its pear tree.
