Perhaps it was for the first time, but who knows :) <br />I had the intention of trying it and almost forgot this morning until the fox turned up in the fog across the cow field.

I would like to quote some of it on my own blog, www.annesbirdpoems.blogspot.com. This part: "... 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 Brúg na Boinne within this time, all in one day, by the magical workings of the Dagda.<br /><br /><br />Brúg na Boinne<br /><br />Within these twelve days lies a wonderful secret that those dismissive of the Christian tradition might well miss, for each of the twelve days is assigned to a month of the coming year, with the first day of Christmas the 26th December as symbolic of January, the second day or 27th December representing February and so on, right through to 6th January which represents the December yet to come. It was the custom of many to go out on each day of the Christmas festival to observe the signs in nature and divine from them the state of the year to come. The omens experienced on each of the Omen Days indicate the nature of each month in the coming year." <br /><br />Please let me know if this is ok. I will quote and credit you.<br /><br />AnneAnne Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583292991932748552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-75599722435153910872020-12-27T13:55:22.121-08:002020-12-27T13:55:22.121-08:00Misery, spreading fear and distrustMisery, spreading fear and distrustAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00528125069890567374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-23228763905889253392020-12-27T06:20:13.628-08:002020-12-27T06:20:13.628-08:00Interesting article.

Then, at the end of the day, my webserver crashed just after I'd taken a backup of my website. Hmm. I wonder. <br /><br />Today is 27th. I've had a pretty chilled day, so far. Still in my PJs at 2:15pm. I've done a bit of Italian learning and scrolling through Facebook. And I've also tried to get some prices for my planned trip to Europe (March 2021) with no success, as nobody wants to let us Brits in at the moment, because our government is spouting on about some imaginary new strain of the imaginary COVID thing.Jaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575912999973957915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-86471535295060647112020-12-26T12:43:23.742-08:002020-12-26T12:43:23.742-08:00It is a sin to be here, yet here you are, not only...It is a sin to be here, yet here you are, not only partaking, but attempting to start a brawl.

It's been a year like no other. At times, I've felt my future being stolen from me by the virulence of Covid. Though my physical health is robust, I'm hard pressed to imagine a time to come as much different from this terrifying present. I anticipate taking Nature's hand in trust and excitement through the Omen Days via 'the silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun.' Thank you, Caitlin, for offering this way this day.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577817471555036787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611245907159825036.post-20135064564270509502020-12-25T06:12:47.735-08:002020-12-25T06:12:47.735-08:00So interesting!

Are they worried about some retribution falling on them for practicing a method of interpreting omens? Or have they decided taking omens is bad and they are preaching against it now?
