Yule Christmas Moon
Today begins the five unlucky days at the end of the year. This is a Mayan idea and the basic path through them was to go quietly through, letting them slide past until the new year could be entered. I long ago took up this time as a period for research into a favorite topic, but the last few days have been so swirly and wonderful and strange that I forgot.
What to focus on? I will be checking my translation of Medea and Pelias against other English versions, then figuring out how and why we differ. In the off time I’m going to get the loft as close to finished as I can. This will involve reorganizing my books, getting what clutter is left moved and stored, more art hung and placed. This way I’ll get into the new year ready to work on my major projects: reimagining, a new or continued novel, learning about the West (probably through the Rocky Mountain Land Library) and something to do with art.
Hope your five days go well and without incident.
