PERSONAL GODS OF DECEMBER:

[neptunesdolphins]

Like every Polytheist, I have Gods from other pantheons that I honor. For my Ancestors, I observe the Winter Solstice and Mothers’ Night. The first is for the Acheulian Goddess of my Deep Ancestors, who observed the Solstice with bonfires. Mothers’ Night (Moraneht) is for my Anglo-Saxon Ancestors. (They requested that I have an altar to them.) Since both occur during Saturnalia, the Roman Gods have made room for Them.

 

FRIGGA AND THE DSIR: On the Winter Solstice which is Mothers Night, I celebrate Frigga, the Norse All-Mother, Her Twelve Handmaidens and the Mothers of my ancestral line. The eve of the Winter Solstice is the traditional beginning of the Germanic New Year. One custom of this Holy Night is to lay out a table for the Dead.

 

THE ACHEULIAN GODDESS: An ancient Goddess from Paleolithic times, the Acheulian Goddess is for me the Goddess of Beginnings. She is the Goddess who appeared in the dreams of Homo erectus. The Acheulian Goddess relates to modern humans through what is familiar to Her. For me, it became the pulp hero, the Green Hornet.
