Vikhedi

Sai Vikhe, lady of the vitality that brings courage, keep your hand on my shoulder this day and help me accept new challenges with grace and honor. Amadea.

22nd Astraea - Advent

Today is the fourth and last Vikhedi of Advent. Two nights from now is the Winter Solstice, and a week from now (Astraea 28th/Dec 25th) is the Nativity.

And the star was seen all over the earth; and the children of the earth were filled with wonder, and they came to the place where the star stood in the sky. And those that were princesses among them brought their crowns to the sacred grove as gifts, and shepherdesses brought the new-dropped lambs, and all the daughters of the earth brought forth the fruits thereof to lay before the cave. But before the cave stood a Janya of Dea, robed in a garment so white that the eyes of earth’s children were dazzled, and with a countenance of such great beauty that it was a fearful thing to look upon it. And the daughters of the earth covered their eyes and threw themselves to the ground.

8th Astraea - Advent

Short post for today!

Today is the second Vikhedi (Tuesday) of the Advent! Those who light candles for the Advent may add another candle today.

I myself am not able to light candles but I still like to mark the first day of each week of Advent, usually by ruminating on the scripture following the narrative presented in the Mythos. I've also taken to playing a video of a fireplace or burning candle while I do this, which is very nice!

May this month be a bright light for all!

And She stood in contemplation upon the waters of the first darkness; like a great Dove upon the waters She brooded. And She became absorbed within Her and communed with Her own Self; and Her light ceased to shine forth from Her, and yet Her light grew greater.

15th Astraea - Advent

Today is the third Vikhedi (Tuesday) of Advent!

And She walked across the seas and deep into the forests of the earth until She came upon the deep cave that was at the centre. And She entered the cave. And a star rose above the sacred grove that lay about the cave, brighter and more resplendent than all the stars of the heavens
