To all who stop by to read and comment, however you choose to celebrate this time of the year, my wish is that each and everyone of you have a great day!
Many of the symbols of Christmas echo its aspect of rebirth and hope in darkness.
Holly was thought to be important because it retains its greenery right through the winter months, and as such is a symbol of summer life in the winter starkness. Holly was the male symbol of this greenery, and Ivy was the feminine, the two often placed together as a symbol of fecundity at the dark end of the year. There was also a belief that evergreen plants and trees were refuges for the woodland spirits through the winter months. Evergreen Trees a symbol of life Christmas- Renewal, Rebirth and Hope for light in the darkness- I quite like that !All the best to everyone who makes this blog a light in the darkness!I'm taking a break, but have left plenty of reading and listening:Don't miss my expose of Sy Hersh's latest psyop-
