The 12 Nights of Jól

When Jól Begins in the Northern Hemisphere - A Heathen’s Guide to the 12 Nights

Jól was never about shopping or modern holidays.

It was a season of the ancestors, a time of deep spiritual weight, winter survival, oaths, offerings, feasting, and honoring the forces that shape fate.

For those living anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere — including the United States, Canada, Europe, and all northern lands — Jól begins with the Winter Solstice.

On the night when the sun stands still, and the longest darkness gives way to the returning light. That night is Mother’s Night (Modraniht) — the first night of Jól.

Below is the traditional flow of the 12 Nights of Jól, beginning on December 21-st and ending on the first day of January.

The 12 Nights of Jól (Northern Hemisphere)

Night 1 — Mother’s Night (Dec 21)
Honoring the ancestral mothers, protectors of the home, and the spirits who watch over the family line.

How to Be Truly Free - Pepe Mujica, former president of Uruguay

How to Be Truly Free: lessons from a philosopher president. Pepe Mujica, Uruguay’s spartan former president and plain-spoken philosopher, offers wisdom from a rich life.

A decade ago, the world had a brief fascination with José Mujica. He was the folksy president of Uruguay who had shunned his nation’s presidential palace to live in a tiny tin-roof home with his wife and three-legged dog.

In speeches to world leaders, interviews with foreign journalists and documentaries on Netflix, Pepe Mujica, shared countless tales from a life story fit for film. But Mr. Mujica’s legacy will be more than his colorful history and commitment to austerity. He became one of Latin America’s most influential and important figures in large part for his plain-spoken philosophy on the path to a better society and happier life.

Last week, I traveled to the outskirts of Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital, to visit Mr. Mujica at his three-room home, full of books and jars of pickling vegetables, on the small farm where he has grown chrysanthemums for decades. As the sun set on a winter day, he was bundled in a winter jacket and wool hat in front of a wood stove. “You’re talking to a strange old man,” he said, leaning in to look at me closely, a glisten in his eye. “I don’t fit in today’s world.” And so we bagan.

How is your health?

I think that humanity, as it’s going, is doomed.

Why do you say that?

Unul dintre noi - din intelepciunea Atlantidei

1. - Nu reacționa: Lasă-i pe ceilalți să facă ce vor să facă, să zică ce vor să zică, ori de te adoră sau te agresează, învață să curgi și să nu reacționezi. Astfel vei tăia karma care înconjoară această agresiune, iar energia Universului va curge pentru binele tău cel mai înalt.

2. - Practică detașarea în toate formele sale: totul este temporar, momentan. Nu poți controla dispariția, moartea oamenilor sau a obiectelor. Acceptând acest lucru scapi de o mare povară pe care o porți cu tine.

3. - Călătorește fără bagaje grele: nu căra rucsaci în spate și nu transporta prea mult balast. Acceptați să duceți cu voi doar esențialul în această călătorie numită viață.

The Seven Philosophies point the way towards a return to the values of Native American culture for the healing of individuals, families and Native Communities.

First Philosophy - To the Women

The cycle of life for the woman is the baby, girl, woman, and grandmother. These are the four directions of life. She has been given by natural laws, the ability to reproduce life. The most sacred of all things is life. Therefore, all men should treat her with dignity and respect. Never was it our way to harm her mentally or physically. Indian men were never abusers. We always treated our women with respect and understanding. So from now on:

I will treat women in a sacred manner. The Creator gave women the responsibility for bringing new life into the world. Life is sacred, so I will look upon the women in a sacred manner.

In our traditional ways, the woman is the foundation of the family. I will work with her to create a home atmosphere of respect, security and harmony.

I will refrain from any form of emotional or physical abuse. If I have these feelings, I will talk to the Creator for guidance.

I will treat all women as if they were my own female relatives. This is my vow.

Second Philosophy - To the Children

Fumigatiile, pentru protectia personala si a casei

 

Fumigatiile sunt o parte a ritualului de purificare periodica a casei. Plantele folosite pentru fumigatii sunt: salvia, rozmarinul, dafinul, busuiocul, lavanda, ienuparul. Fumigarea acestor plante se poat face in doua feluri:

1. Daca plantele sunt deja maruntite, nu aveti decat sa le amestecati intr-un vas / cana / pahar. Apoi, folosindu-va de un vas / bol mic din lut (sau din metal), aprindeti cativa carbuni si ii asezati in interiorul vasului. Peste carbuni turnati o parte din amestecul de plante maruntite, restul de cantitate luandu-l cu voi in vasul in care au fost amestecate pentru a "alimenta" din cand in cand fumigatia prin adaugarea de mici cantitati peste carbunii aprinsi.
