Pre-Christian -- Lastnight was said to be Mother's Night, where I would like to think they celebrate the Goddesses of the year (Hrêða [ ᚻᚱᛖᚦᚪ ], Ēostre [ ᛖᚩᛋᛏᚱᛖ ] and Sceaðu [ ᛋᚳᛖᚪᚦᚢ ] ) NB: That is just my personal interpretation.

Gōd Mōdraniht sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᛗᚩᛞᚱᚪᚾᛁᚻᛏ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Mother's Night to you!

Gōd Gēol sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᚷᛖᚩᛚ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Yule to you!

Which then evolved into:

Gōd Crīstes mæsse sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᚳᚱᛁᛋᛏᛖᛋ:ᛗᚫᛋᛋᛖ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Christmas to you!

So take your pick my friends, whichever tickles your fancy: go a little pagan, go a little in-between or go for something more Christian/modern.

The choice is yours.

#GothicAdvent Day 15:

The mists of time run deep; the ebbs and flows of the wyrd span the course of human history.

#Mottistone, is the magical heart of the #IsleOfWight -- the village derives it's name from the great #LongStone that was known as the Mōtstán [ ᛗᚩᛏᛋᛏᚪᚾ ] or Meeting Stone.

Legend says that is where the Kings of the Island (the Wihtwalda [ ᚹᛁᚻᛏᚹᚪᛚᛞᚪ ] ) were chosen by at the Island witenagemot [ ᚹᛁᛏᛖᚾᚪᚷᛖᛗᚩᛏ ]

People believe that cries of the slaughtered souls from the last #Pagan and #Jutes of the Island can be heard at this time of the year. The Ghosts and shades of the past make their way to Meeting Stone; the lefthand side of the stone is known as the Weeping Skirt. Island #Pagans still go there today to pay their respects.

2. fela-spræce [ᚠᛖᛚᚪᛋᛈᚱᚫᚳᛖ] - Using a lot of words to deceive someone: using word salad as a way to lie to someone
