Introduction To Musings IV

December 1993

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

I don’t know of many Winter Solstice cards with more pages than this one. My comments are not intended to challenge your beliefs, but to share mine. Remember that wisdom accrues by sifting claims and events through the grid of your convictions and the filter of your seeking minds.

In THE GOLDEN BOUGH, Frazier wrote of the ancient English tradition where the custom was to light the Yule log with a fragment of its predecessor, which had been kept throughout the year for that purpose. The retained fragments were also believed to protect the home against fire and lightning. There were also curative powers for the family and farm animals attributed to the ashes of the Yule log.

May the curative powers of this festive season sustain you all the year – lending light, spreading warmth, sharing memories, deepening love. Bless you and bless your home.

- Grandfather W
