Heliogenna Day One, Yule, and a Farewell
Made it to Sixth Night's Yule rite, which was awesome. Hana and I had a lovely time.
At home I celebrated the first day of the three day version of Heliogenna, which was also awesome. I'm really very fond of Helios, Selene, and Eos so I'm so excited that Hector thought of this festival and decided to share it with the community at large.
Omens: Sigma “Phoibos [Apollo] speaks plainly {Saphôs}, ‘Stay, friend.’”
Plainly: distinctly, certainly; stay: wait, stand fast, remain.
Neither advance nor retreat; wait or hold your ground, as appropriate; the best action is inaction. “Phoibos” refers to Apollo as Bright and Pure, which also characterizes His advice in this oracle.
Gamma “Gaia [the Earth] {Gê} will give you the ripe fruit of your labors.”
Ripe: complete, final; fruits: produce, returns, profits, results.
You will have a successful harvest, or you will reap all your profits from the Earth. The Mother of All will bring your labors to a fruitful conclusion. Gaia will give you your just deserts.
As for the farewell, my aunt passed on Sunday morning. She fought hard to remain and our family will miss her greatly. Rest peacefully Aunt Hope.
