THE SEVENTH DAY OF YULETIDE - December 26
The seventh day of Yuletide, we light a candle and remember Community.
The joy of Yule springs overwhelmingly from Community. We feast with
our family and good friends, exchange gifts, send cards and make
telephone calls to the important people in our lives. While we are all
unique individuals, we are nevertheless enmeshed in relationships with
others. These relationships all bear benefits (love, someone to talk
to, financial help) and duties (reciprocation, upholding the family's
honor, physical protection). Community also includes the ancestors, who
look on from beyond the grave and nourish the souls of their descendants.
Let us strengthen the bonds of Community!
This day I will pour a libation to my kynfylgja, the personified
repository of my family's spiritual might, to honor the organic
Community of my living kin and my ancestors.
I will be mindful of my Community this day.
