Happy Day 12 of Yule — Fate Day / Hogmanay
The weaving of endings and beginnings.
Tonight we honor the Norns, keepers of fate, time, and becoming —
and we cross the threshold into the new year with intention, clarity, and courage.
Day 12 is the closing of the Yule cycle:
to look back with wisdom,
to stand fully present,
and to step forward deliberately into what is yet to be woven.
From the Poetic Edda (Völuspá):
“There stand three maidens,
wise in much lore,
who shape the lives of men.”
What has been shaped cannot be undone —
but what comes next is still being written.
Rune of the Day — ᚾ Nauthiz
Nauthiz is necessity, fate’s friction, and sacred perseverance.
It reminds us that growth is born through effort, truth, and right restraint.
Tonight, choose the path you are willing to walk — even when it demands discipline.
Ways to Honor Fate Day & Hogmanay:
• Cleanse your home and hearth — sweep out the old year
• Close unfinished cycles and lingering obligations
• Braid or thread together past, present, and future intentions
• Speak one final oath for how you will walk forward
• Open the door at midnight — release the old, welcome the new
This is not about wishing.
It is about alignment.
Hail Odin,
Hail Freya,
Hail the Aesir.
