Yule

Every night of Yule I have had vivid, vivid dreams of my sister. Nothing horrific or tragic, no reliving of the night she died. Mundane things. Wonderful, beautiful every day things. More than once a night. 

Insistent in death as she was in life. 

I cannot decide whether to be depressed or a weird nostalgic-cheerful. The past week and change has been interesting up in my head. I swear, every time I try and be a good Heathen my beloved dead get real interested in my goings on. Feisty even.

As a result I could really use a nap.

Crafting

Every now and then I need to remind myself to just settle down. I like to be doing things, but I will continue to keep myself busy doing things past when I am enjoying the doing and I am mostly just doing them out of an inevitable and unavoidable bit of forward momentum.

So Saturday morning I sat down while djkc napped and worked on making some runes. It is one of the most relaxing activities I have come across, and something I genuinely enjoy doing. Before I knew it, two sets of antler and one set of birch runes were complete, and I had made a set of antler earrings with the Tiwaz rune on them. I have some oak and yew, and I think some ash, in reserve for next weekend.

Anyone need a set of runes? They do start to pile up...
