[gothic-l] Erdology Month of Sowillo

[shwelling at TSWELLING.COM]

By 
T Shawn Welling

This is an every fortnight column, it is updated information I write 
and rewrite every 15 to 16 days depending on the month and the 
Sabbats involved.   Although some of the information contained 
within repeats exactly, most of the information contained with this 
column changes dramatically.  I add, change, and rewrite some parts 
of the introduction before I send it out each Futhark month because 
as I gain a deeper understanding of the Erdology and how it works, I 
need to update the column.  Every time I get feedback on the 
content, I make subtle changes which improve the way the column is 
written.

Allow me to tell you what Erdology means.  Erd is a German word 
meaning earth. Ology is a Latin word meaning the study of.  So I put 
the two together study of the earth since this concept the earth is 
exactly what is being studied.

Definition of Sabbat, this is a term I found in the dictionary that 
is the only word that I can find that truly gets close to that of 
the original origins of the 8 equinoxes and or solstices of a year 
in celebration of that time.  This is also called witches night.

Definition of fortnight: this is from the Ancient 14 day calendar of 
14 consecutive nights.  Which could have easily been changed from 
the origins of 15 and 16 days of this calendar.  Too much from 
ancient European history has been changed, altered, subverted, and 
out right spun to be something else that we have to rebuild the 
history from clues left from the spin of time and conquest.

I do have this information copywritten.  If you wish to down load 
this and print it out, or post it on another list that if fine as 
long as you give me the credit for it.  And remember that this 
research is a full time thing for me, so just keep the fact that 
these 10 -15 pages over 15 to 16 days is written for you, but I 
still have to pay the rent.

The information listed below is the information I have gathered 
through more than 10 years of private independent study into the 
runic Futhark.  Trying to figure out its secrets.  Trying to find 
out what was behind the vault door of the name runa itself.  What I 
found was a set of counts, set at very specific points where the 
earth moves in its orbit around the sun.  These points, are as 
follows; the seasons there the earth is on its rotation around the 
sun, the months there are 24 based starting at Litha one of the 8 
Sabbats a year putting Fehu the first symbol of the 24 with Litha 
being mid summer in the middle of the month of 15 days and then 
counting 23 months more, which leaves 5.4 days unaccounted for.  
Take the most important Sabbats the ones that affect this world the 
most and add the 5.4 days to those months of 15 days making them 16 
days long.  Now there is a great deal more to this map than just the 
brief description I have written in this paragraph as well as in the 
extremely brief information I have written in the document that 
follows this paragraph, but the point is, you get a starting place, 
and for this Erdology which is instead of studying the effects of 
the heavenly bodies that are outside this planets atmosphere, this 
is all about studying the effects this planet has on this planet.

A note on the concept of what the Electro-Magnetic fields we live in 
are about.  This planet has an Electro-Magnetic field, or else this 
computer would not work, the solar radiation and winds from the sun 
and solar system are deflected by this Electro-Magnetic field around 
this planet.  All Electro-Magnetic fields on a vibrational level 
affect all other Electro-Magnetic fields on this planet.  The 
Electro-Magnetic fields I refer to are the fields of this planet, 
the plants, animals, water, regions, and everything else that 
carries or has an Electro-Magnetic field.  Each and every one has 
effects on each and every other thing here.  This Erdology is an 
exploration of what these interactions are, and what they mean.  
Based on very specific criteria of birth, solar bodies alignment, 
tilt of this planet on its axis, formulation of tribes and 
communities just to name a few of the Electro-Magnetic cycles this 
Erdology tracks.  The fields that the earth goes through I have 
attempted to chart out their meanings as well as how they work 
together.  

The future is what ever you make it.  You choose the decisions that 
make your future.  Even not deciding is still a decision.  So even 
though these Electro-Magnetic field maps are generally set, you 
still have to make your own decisions about what you want, need, and 
desire to do with your life.  You still have to do all the hard work 
of walking this life.  As you walk through the various stages of 
life, various stages of development of personal talent, all the 
stages of personal interactions with everyone else around you, you 
still have to do all the hard work yourself.   This is a guide to 
help you navigate through your life easier.

There is another set of information about choice that you need to 
understand that goes with this Erdology.  Most times when you are at 
a decision cross roads in your life, you have already made that 
decision the cross roads are not to make the decision but to 
understand the decision you have already made.  So this map is a way 
to give you an additional guide book, additional information, 
additional knowledge, wisdom, consciousness about the decisions you 
have already made but need to be fully or partially aware of the 
decisions you have already made and need to have that knowledge on 
the forefront of your mind.

What the calendar is: this calendar is my attempt to understand the 
creation of the Nordic Germanic runic/Elder Futhark.  See I knew 
that the items involved with the runic half month calendar were just 
flat out wrong, not out of being designed to be wrong, they were 
translated to be wrong.  When the calendar was translated into 
Julian, the Julian calendar was off by a few days, so the runic half 
month calendar was off by a few days.  When it was translated into 
Gregorian, our western world current calendar those off days stayed 
put.
So I looked to the past to reverse engineer how the calendar could 
have been made, knowing that it could date back to the end of the 
last ice age.  More likely it dates back farther but that is not 
something up for debate that is just speculation on my part.  I 
looked at the year and divided that up into the runic 24 characters, 
numbering 15 days, and 5 months of 16 days.  This is all fine and 
good but the problem is none of the symbols matched what was 
happening at that time of the year.  So I took it upon myself to 
think, well if this is a calendar based on the Sabbats of a year, 
there are 8 at the equinoxes and the equinoxes are where the 
calendar was created from in the first place.  Then Litha would be 
in the first month.  Knowing also a bit about the ancient northern 
European religions, they do not start their festivals as the first 
day; they have their festivals where the Sabbats are in the middle 
of the festival.  So I took this as an engineering key, and put 
Litha directly in the middle of Fehu, I did a bit of counting and 
putting each of the months into place, paying attention to the 
months that were already at the 16 day mark and noticed immediately 
that the months that had 16 days corresponded to that major sabot.  
I knew immediately that I was on to something, that the ancients did 
in fact bury their secrets in plain sight, waiting for the children 
of Heimdall to climb out of the tree after Ragnarok.  This is our 
time to shine.

So here is how this information applies to you.  This section is 
about how the Futhark calendar will help aid and assist you in your 
everyday life.  Astrology is based on the movements of bodies of 
influence outside this planet.  But this Erdology is not about 
outside this planet this map is about tracking the Electro-Magnetic 
fields of this planet and how they affect you.  This is not 
divination this is Electro-Magnetic facts.
By telling you what to expect from this world around you; you can 
then make decisions on and about what you want to be doing with your 
life.

Archaeology, antiquity, anthropology, history.  I begin this 
paragraph with the understanding that the runes if you look at them 
logically with just a bit of archaeological evidence could not 
possibly come from 200 c. e. .  For one there is too much evidence 
to suggest they did exist before hand, for two something this 
complex and machine like takes longer than the Europeans had to 
invent it, for three its really hard to invent something at all when 
you are under constant attack, researchers need quiet time to think 
and contemplate that which they want to think about with out the 
need to concentrate on if they are going to be killed soon or not.  
Fourth all the books I have read, all the papers I have read say 
this sentence translated into a form of Latin at a given date.  
Sometimes the date is a day in a month in a year by some priest sent 
to convert the heathen.  Fifth what did the inquisition and Vatican 
burn if there was no language, no written information, and no 
education? What was so threatening they had to burn it?   Sixth who 
was killed as being a witch or heretic and why if they had no 
religion, no formula of communication why did those priests and 
priestesses need to be executed to keep them silent if they did not 
have some form of pre-Latin language.  Seventh, why do the Edda's 
state Odin hung on the tree, the runes suddenly appeared.  But Freya 
knew them? Freya was a Vanier, the Vanier were there long before the 
¯sir got to Europe.  And the Vanier culture looks a lot like the 
archaeological evidence of the Vinca culture which was in existence 
at 6000 b. c. e..   Eighth point the artifacts left by the Celts and 
the Vinca artifacts are remarkably similar, and we know from 
archaeology that the Celts were slowly driven from all of Europe 
into the British Isles by invaders.   All these points add up to the 
runes are much older then the 200 c. e.  we have been told by 
catholic historians.  As well as there are direct ties to the runes 
and the Celts being much closer than previously thought about.

Season Tri masculine
As you come out of the grip of winter, instead of going into the 
grip of spring, the Futhark I found had a balance problem the counts 
just did not add up correctly.  So I did some math, and found that 
the time before and after winter there was missing seasons.  To 
check my results in math, always go back to observations of what the 
planet and the things on the planet are doing for confirmation.  
Indian summer and ground hogs day was all the confirmation I 
needed.  That floating time that brackets winter.  Then it was even 
more obvious, instead of just going straight from action of spring, 
summer, autumn, a transition time of a small amount of time 
bracketing winter is needed, in the Indian summer time it's a 
progression into the self.  But this time is a progression out of 
the self.  Out into the world again.  Out of the head and mental 
exercises of the winter and the lessons of the internal and out into 
applying that which was learned during the internal time.
This tri masculine is about the transition out of the winter 
internal and seeing how to apply that knowledge of the self to the 
world over the course of the next year.


During this time is important for you to reorganize yourself toward 
the goals you have set for yourself, paying attention so you can 
integrate your new self into the world in a beneficial way.  


The month, breakdown of how the month works
1.	Fehu: the first day of the month this is a day to set the 
priorities of what you want to be doing over the course of the next 
15 to 16 days.
2.	Uruz: the focus your strengths into the priorities you have 
set down
3.	Thurasaz: the create good boundaries for your pursuit of 
what you want to be doing
4.	Ansuz: the establish a good base of communication and seeing 
the world around you to see just how to apply that which is your 
wants to apply
5.	Raido: the start the journey of what you want to be working 
on.
6.	Kannaz: the learn from your past experiences as to how to 
apply that which you have learned 
7.	Gebo: the connect with others around you so that you can see 
how to put forward that which you have been seeking a way to put 
forward.
8.	Wunjo: the allow some emotion to come into today.  For 
without emotion to help the guidance you will not get anywhere
9.	Haggalaz: the remember the past; remember where you come 
from this day.
10.	Nauthiez: the take all that you have experiences in the last 
bit of time and combine all that into a good solid idea of setting 
forward with what you want to do.
11.	Isa: the make a long term plan for what you want to be at 
next time this cycle comes around. Next month, next year, next when 
ever.
12.	Jera: the see the timing and the cycles of life, allow 
yourself to accomplish the goals you have set for yourself.  See 
what from the past you have accomplished and what you want to 
accomplish in the future.
13.	Eiwaz: the now that you are nearing the end of this month, 
think about what you have been wanting to create for yourself.  What 
can you put into place and create for the long term on the 
priorities you have set this month.
14.	Pertho: the start to set the long term goals in place
15.	Alhaz: the see how you can start to set those goals in place 
over the long haul period of time.
16.	Sowillo: this is the extra day of a month.  During those 
months with 16 days, you need to spend this day thinking about what 
happened during this time, think about what you did and be very 
intent on learning from where you are now.  So you can improve your 
position over the course of your path till the next 16 day month.

*** important note***
for southern hemisphere peoples line up your calendar according to 
the Sabbats, apply meanings accordingly, the calendar starts at 
Litha, then around to Beltain.  So that would be Litha in Dec your 
longest day and Yule in June your shortest day.

This is the month of Sowillo
This is a very unusual month for according to the count of the 
Gregorian calendar this year is the year that things balance out and 
we add a day.  Well this day that is added is added to this Sabbat.  
Making this Sabbat the 5th 16 day month. And making Eostar the 6th 
16 day month of this calendar.  Which is kind of an odd thing being 
that this is an election year for the peoples of the USA.  The 
goings on of each country does affect the goings on of all the rest 
be it big or small effects.  
The next thing about this month is the standard concept behind this 
month; this month is the month of learned wisdom.  This is the month 
where it is time to take a minute out from your life and see that 
which is happening around you.  This is the time in which you have 
been working so hard for this winter cycle to take a look at what 
you have accomplished, what have you truly learned, and most 
importantly, what priorities have changed as to the direction you 
want to go with yourself.  For it is now the month before winter 
cycle is up,  that you need to be thinking most clearly on the ideas 
of what you have learned.   Where you have come from, from this time 
last year, through the summer, and totally and complete focus and 
review of the last 7 months of time, think really hard as to what 
you have learned in the last 7 months of time.  Take that 7 months 
and see where you can adjust to what you want to be doing in the 
future.  See after all the lessons have been learned is the time to 
apply all that you have learned up to that point into the world.    
>From this point you need to be learning, and being as conscious and 
wise about all that you have learned the better.  Understand why you 
have made the decisions you have made to this point. See where the 
decisions you have made will affect all that you do for a while now, 
but the more you are aware of all that you have done all the 
decisions you have made that have brought you to this point.  Now be 
thinking about what you want to do next and how the decisions you 
have already made effect how things will work out in the present 
tense.

1.	Personal Months: If you were born during this time this is 
what you can expect from the next 16 days in your life.  
F Fehu	June 13-28 1 	Litha 1 16 Tower
This begins the first month: you are born during a time of 
establishing boundaries for yourself.  Your life will be about 
establishing personal boundaries and personal understanding of what 
your path is, what your life is, and what is important to you.  Your 
life will be about getting to know what your priorities are, what 
are your ethics your responsibilities, where do your loyalties lie. 
Sequence Sowillo
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month 
What have you learned? That is the question for this entire month.  
The only concern you have during this month is what have you 
learned?  You are at a cross roads in your existence, and instead of 
looking at your life in a what decision do I make as to where to go 
and what to do.  You need to strongly realize that you have already 
made the decision, the only question for you at this point is are 
you aware of the decision you have already made and the balance of 
the good bad and neutral of that decision.  The more you are aware 
of what way you are going to go down which you have already decided 
the better informed understanding of the events which will now be 
unraveling around you.  But understand this most strongly, even 
though you have already made the decision about which way you are 
going to go, which route you will be traveling, it is a part of our 
base nature to change our minds.  We will go down the other way just 
because at times we want to go against the odds.    The way you want 
to go is the way you will, but in that quiet place down deep, which 
way do you want to go?  The more you are aware of your deep inner 
the better.

i.	U  Uruz	June 29 July 13  Strength 
This is a life of Strength, figuring out how best to apply that 
which is your strong suit of strength.  Apply that strength badly, 
you will become harder to be around for you always push your will 
around, apply that correctly and you are a strong force for what 
needs to happen around you. 
Sequence Alhaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this

Awareness of all the knowledge you have gained is the entire point 
to everything and all.  Using your strength to direct yourself into 
the ideas forms and thoughts of how you think, feel, contemplate, 
use your senses, and be ultimately aware of everything and all that 
is happening around you.  This is the month of Alhaz for you, Alhaz 
is the definition of total and complete awareness with out action of 
what is happening in your surroundings.  Use this month as a tool to 
learn, gather and incorporate all that you have learned about 
everything there is to know and understand about yourself within the 
framework of the world around you.  Use your strength of will to 
seek knowledge and get a good map of everything that is happening in 
the entire world around you.

ii.	T Thurasaz	July  14  28  Hierophant
Boundaries, this is a time for those born during this time to 
understand the basic concept of safe boundaries; for it is the 
essence of safe boundaries that is what Thurasaz is all about.  The 
line between what is ok, and what is not, to whom it's ok and to 
whom it is not ok.  These are the questions that will need to be 
answered on a daily basis by the people born during Thurasaz. 
Sequence Pertho

the course of the next month.   The more you work on deciding how to 
apply all the lessons you have learned, the better everything is and 
will be for you.

iii.	a	Ansuz July 29-Aug.  12  Hanged Man
Communication and connection with the unknown and the known.  This 
is the time for those born during this time to truly understand and 
recognize that their path is the path of connecting the unknown, the 
mystical and darkness with the light of understanding.  Go forward 
and communicate, make the connections that need to be made. 
Sequence Eiwaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
Creation of all that is and can be important to you over the course 
of this month, but temper that creation with what you know how to do 
rather than creation of yourself with proficient skills.  During 
this time make sure you know how to build, create, organize, and are 
fully skilled knowledgeable about what you are working on.  The more 
you are aware the better absolutely everything in your life gets.  
Separate out what you do not know how to do yet with a functioning 
level of proficiency, and what you are highly proficient at.  With 
these 2 separated out, you know what skills to use to work build and 
operate with.  And you also know how to go about when its time to 
relearn and open your horizons to new skills, this is the time to 
set yourself into learning about those items you need to learn but 
have not had the time to practice.  This is the time to use your 
proficient skills.

iv.	r Raido  	Aug.13- 27 2	 Lughnasadh The Fool
Journey, to finish tasks, to walk with what you understand to be 
correct; to allow yourself and others to walk that which is the 
correct thing to do.  The journey is the important thing during this 
time.  To put one foot in front of another is the lesson of the 
month. 
Sequence Jera
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this

for you to be setting your sights on, well there is this great big 
world out there.  And it has its own times, rhythms, ideas, forms, 
flow, and its own machine for how it does what it does.  Maybe this 
is a great time to take the journey of learning just how to go about 
learning and remembering past lessons as to how this time of year 
actually works.  And what you need to learn from this time of year.

v.	c	Kannaz Aug. 28 -  Sept  11  Magician   
Learning and wisdom, people born during this time are the wisdom 
seekers; those that want and wish to partake in the concept of going 
from ignorance into the learning process.  These people are forever 
learning, in their own way.  Sometimes it's regimented and 
scholastic, other times they learn best by the pure experience of 
being in the middle of the situation and learn from being in the 
middle.  But learning is this person's goal in life. 
Sequence Isa  
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this

Seek wisdom; this is the best time of the entire year to seek to 
learn.  This is the month of learning, and you are the month of 
knowledge, and this is the sequence of making plans.  So the best 
and most efficient way for you to go about accomplishing this month 
all that you want to accomplish is to sit and close off a bit from 
the outside world and slowly and carefully learn all that you 
possibly can about the subjects you are interested in.  This is the 
time to learn, inwardly learn and grow with that which is yours to 
learn.

What is happening around you in the right here and right now? Well 
if you can not answer that question then it's time to take a seat 
and see just how much you are getting back in touch and working at 
the business at hand.  Recontact friends you have been separated 
from for a while.  Call relatives just to say hi.  Clean off your 
desk just to see the surface again.  If you had not noticed you have 
spent so much time working on yourself lately that you have not had 
a lot of time for anyone else.  This is now the time to be working 
on and thinking about others in your life and how you fit into their 
lives and how they fit into yours.

Wow what can be said, try and not get overwhelmed with all that is 
happening around you this month.  You will be inundated with 
thoughts from the past, what you know how to do, and what you do not 
have any idea about.  This month is designed to be a review of all 
that is you.  So just let the tools of this month wash over you with 
all the knowledge, understanding, memories, and experiences that are 
a part of you.   There are some key choices coming your way this 
month but do not worry, for most of them you have already made the 
choice; the question is what was the choice you made.  Try and 
understand it.

The past, this person has a keen understanding of not only the past 
but finishing up projects that are put in front of them.  This is 
the beginning of the feminine 5th season.  This is the time of year 
for going within to contemplate that which has been done over not 
only the last year but also to contemplate that which has occurred 
over your lifetime.

Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this

You will be experiencing the total and exhilarating experience of 
your emotions coupled with the even more exhilarating concept of all 
the that you have learned over the course of the past year coming up 
and reminding you that you have a lot of skills, lessons, 
understandings, and proficiencies.  The question is what are you 
going to do with what you know how to do with all that you are, and 
all that you know now?  The more you know, and the more emotion you 
put into your life, the easier it will be for you to be making 
decisions that will help your life.  The ideas of this month are to 
blend your emotions, what you mentally know, and who you are 
together so you can then move forward over the course of this year 
with great strides while you work on that which is most important,

The wisdom of those that you know.  Some times in life there is a 
need to spend massive amounts of time with friends and family.  For 
you this month is that time.  For you to truly get anything done 
this next year you will need to spend almost the entire month 
making, reforming, and reconnecting with everything in your life.  
Starting with friends and family.  Moving on to all the other 
aspects of who you are and what you want to do.  This is the month 
to lay the groundwork for all the partnerships and connections that 
you will be relying on over the course of the next year.   This is 
the month to do that in.  So go and have yourself a good time, let 
your hair down and feel the comfort of friends, family, and what you 
are truly good at doing.

Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
You are in the unique opportunity in your life at this specific 
stage. For the stage of your life is set to start a new path.  If 
you have wanted to make a career move this is the month to start 
that process.  If you have wanted to learn a new skill, or to strive 
for a promotion, or just about anything else that would be a huge 
course correction taking you in a totally new and profoundly 
interesting different direction, this is the month to set the new 
course.  All the tools, opportunities, and everything else is all 
set for you to accomplish this goal.  

xi.	J Jera Nov.  28 - Dec. 12  Death
Timing and cycles, people born during this time are keenly 
interested and devoted to the cycles of things and the cycles of 
life.  What happened yesterday and what will be happening tomorrow 
and how the two tie in together.

Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
Seek you shall find the way this month.  For your path and journey 
of what you have been looking for will come to pass this month.  But 
the point to any path anyone takes is not the destination but what 
you have learned along the way.   At journeys end, that is the 
perfect time to review the whole of all the events which brought you 
to this specific juncture in your life.  Instead of savoring the 
moment, take the time to review what brought you here.  And as you 
take that review time the amount of pure knowledge you will gain 
about yourself is just truly frightening.  There will be aspects of 
yourself that will come to light that you would have never dreamed 
in a million years that you actually thought that way.  But in 
truth, not only do you think that way; you also make a lot of 
decisions based on that base of knowledge.  The best and most 
efficient way for you to do and or accomplish anything you truly 
want to do in this world. This is the best place for you to learn 
about the choices you make right here and right now this month with 
the successes you have.

xii.	I	Eiwaz Dec, 13 – 28 5	Yule 16  Temperance
Creation, this is an interesting time since this is the time of 
Yule, and the happenings which take place in and around Yule are 
there very much for the person to work with and around.  Just as in 
the day midnight, this is mid year.  This the half way point for the 
year, what people born during this time are concerned with the inner 
times, they are inward turned people who spend a part of their lives 
in the search for inward understanding, and inward balance.
Sequence Ansuz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
Open your eyes, and see what is truly happening around you.  Open 
your mouth and talk about who you are.  Listen to the way the world 
is.  Allow your skin to absorb the information it can preserve from 
the surfaces it is in contact with the ground air and the like.  Go 
deep with in yourself to listen to that solo inner voice of your 
psychic ability to see what it tells you about what is happening in 
the outside world.   The knowledge you will gain using just your 
senses will be the key factors that plot the course of your life 
over the course of the next year and the next several years.  So use 
all 6 senses to the best of your ability to absorb information.  
Then you can start to see just what is happening around you, and 
make decisions based on a good solid map of your surroundings.

xiii.	P	Pertho Dec. 29- Jan 12  emperor 
Application of skills learned, people born during this time are 
people that are keenly interested in applying that which they know 
to the world.  To identify what they like, to learn as much as they 
can about what they like, and then apply what they know to the world 
about the skills they have learned. 
Sequence Thurasaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
Is there anything you have always wanted to learn but never thought 
you would have the time?  Well this is your lucky month.  What you 
need to be doing is to sit down in your protective boundaries this 
month and apply all that is you to your skill at learning.  You are 
the kind of person that can memorize 3 semesters of geometry in 3 
days, so take that skill and apply it to this month.  Take that 
which you have always wanted to learn, improve on, build, or set 
up.  Well there is no time like the present.

xiv.	Z	Alhaz Jan. 13 – 28  The Moon
Awareness of the world around them in spades, people born during 
this time have a built in sense of the world around them.  Not 
anything else just a sense of the world which is around them.  Not 
how to apply that knowledge, or how that knowledge affects the self, 
or even, if this is a good thing or bad, those lessons why are 
learned along the path of life.  No they have the keen understanding 
of the purity of awareness of their surroundings. 
Sequence Uruz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
This is an unusual time for you.  Instead of just looking, and 
exploring your surroundings, just go for all that you have always 
wanted to do.  The benefit to you is that you learn as you go.  So 
the intense learning that you desperately need to do this month will 
happen along the journey.  So go forward and get all that you have 
wanted to do during your time of reprioritization and let nothing 
this month get in the way.

xv.	S	Sowillo Jan. 29 - Feb  12 6	Imbulc  The Sun
Knowledge, this is another interesting time, this is the other end 
of the 5th season.  A time of masculine application of what one has 
learned.  Adding days is put here.    People born during this time 
are profound knowledge seekers, people that just about no matter 
what will seek out new things, new knowledge, new wisdom, new 
things, to learn that which is unknown in just about any way 
possible. 
Sequence Fehu 
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
You can choose, its time to choose. Even though you have already 
made the decision you will most likely take at this juncture you can 
still choose which path you want to take.  The more aware of the 
decisions you make the better.  This is the end of your internal 8 
months of hard work.  This is the time to focus your efforts and 
energy into ideas, what have you learned, what you have 
accomplished, where are you going to apply that which you have 
learned over the course of your life to the next year.  These are 
the paramount ideas that you need to be thinking about.

all that is.

month
You are coming to the end of your year, this is a time of extremely 
deep inner contemplation, and learning about who you are, what you 
would like to do, and more importantly, choosing the direction next 
month you want to be going in.  Think, be aware, be conscious, and 
be understanding.  At the same time you are working on being with 
yourself your inner thoughts while you are doing a huge review of 
the events which have taken place over the last year.  Being fully 
and completely aware of everything happening in your life right now, 
from the past present and the future is the lessons you are 
undergoing at the present time.

Growth, this is an interesting time for this is the last of the 
Litha year 16 day months.  This Eostar is all about growth and 
building for the future.  Taking that which has been thought up and 
created during the winter cycle and applying it.  People born during

incredible growth and advancement,  a time of it's still cold but 
winter is over this is now spring;  a time of new growth and new 
experiences.  So people born during this time are geared toward 
growth and building new and interesting things.  What ever 
interesting new things they can dream up this is what this month is 
all about, new thoughts, dreams, emotions, ideas, just new stuff, 
and applying those new things to the world.

home life, stability and to be secure with where you are.  With your 
stability in place pulled up on your nice comfortable chair, in your

Movement: People born during these times are people of a rather 
profound sense of movement and time.  They are never quite happy 
just sitting back and relaxing with themselves they are always much 
more interested in the movement of what can happen.  The movement of 
where they can fit in and how to fit in to the world.  Moving things 
is the point to people born during these times, the priorities of 
movement.  Be it an action job or watching things move. 
Sequence Ingwaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
In this time of translation for you dear Ewaz, the decisions you 
need to be concentrating on is the small items of your life.  Take 
as much time, effort, and energy this month working directly on your 
tasks and needs in the small, miniscule, precise items which on 
their own individually are not all that bad but can and do like to 
gang up on you to force you to deal with the small picture of life.  
So take this time of heightened mental acuity and concentrate on the 
facts of the small items of your life.

xix.	M	Mannaz March 30  - April 13  Star
Know thyself: that is the key to this life.  To have the definition 
of a profound understanding of not only who you are but where you 
want to go.  People born during this time are people who have a 
profound sense of self, based on the culture into which they were 
born.  Their task through life is to know thyself, which is quite a 
hard task if you think about it. 
Sequence Laguz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
Universal understanding that is the hallmark of this month for you.  
A time of deep and profound mental acuity directed toward the ideas, 
thoughts, concepts of not only the decisions you have been making at 
this time but also the big picture.  Just how do you fit into the 
big picture of life that is the question you need to be working on 
understanding this month, what is the big picture of your existence 
this month.  What decisions have you made that have brought you to 
this juncture, what decisions do you have to decide upon that you 
have not made yet, and most importantly what decisions have you 
already made that you need to be aware that you have already made 
the choice you now need to understand why you made the choices that 
you did.

xx.	L	Laguz April 14 – 28  
Flow, people born during these times need to have a profound 
understanding of how things in the universe flow; to be able to 
grasp their place in the universe and be settled and secure within 
their frame of reference.  What and how things flow in the universe 
and how each person in that universe flows is the point to this 
persons lessons.  The more they know about themselves the more they 
can then accomplish in this world.  One can not have enough 
knowledge or data about how they fit into the flow of everything. 
Sequence Mannaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
This month what is happening in your life that is drawing the most 
attention.   There is so much that is important for you to not only 
be working on but also to be conscious and aware of your own self, 
and what you want, need, and desire to be doing this month.  The 
more you work on that which is the most important the more you will 
be able to then concentrate and learn about just who you are, where 
you want to be going, what you want to be doing, where you have 
always been attempting to go to and accomplish.  Being as aware and 
understanding of who you are right now is the lesson of this month, 
be prepared for a totally and complete understanding of who you are 
over the course of this month.  

xxi.	N Ingwaz April 29-May 13 8	Beltain  Judgment
Intricate detail, this is Beltain, growth and fertility, people born 
during this month are drawn to the smallest details of life. They 
are drawn to concentrate on the minutest of details, both in the 
world and in their surroundings.  For fertility is truly found in 
the smallest of details in this world, and by tracking the smallest 
of details and keeping track of all the little things in this world 
is when this person is ok with life.  When everything on the 
smallest level adds up to that which is acceptable. 
Sequence Ewaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
As you are aware by now, the small picture of life is your cup of 
tea, but how you apply that knowledge to your life this month is the 
most important.  For this is a time of rather intense and 
complicated growth on your part.  To accomplish this goal the most 
important thing to concentrate on is the ability and the willingness 
to work on your decisions in the big picture concepts.   What are 
the decisions you have made and most importantly what are the 
decisions you can choose to do the opposite of the decision you have 
already made.  The choice of what you do is always and forever up to 
you, up till the action happens you still have a choice.  So it is 
now up to you to choose what you become aware of, how you will 
become aware of, and of that awareness you can choose to be more 
than aware of all that is for you to choose about all the parts of 
your life.

xxii.	O Othallo May 14 - 28	
Stability home and heart, people born during this month are drawn to 
the existence and understanding of a solid and balanced home.  
Stability is the key to this persons entire existence, if they are 
out of balance nothing works but if they are in balance then there 
is no catastrophe big enough to throw this person off their centered 
with in themselves.  
Sequence Bircano
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
As you are being affected by all the decisions that have brought you 
to this point; what the month is about for you is to become stable 
and solid within yourself as to the decisions you have already 
made.  This is the month of intense growth for you; this is where 
you will be making decisions that will over the course of the next 
year be effecting you highly.  But the most important thing about 
this time is, for you to figure out, what decisions you have already 
made and what decisions you have yet to make. Figure out who and 
what those individual decisions are.   

xxiii.	d	Daggaz May 29 - June 12  Wheel of Fortune
Cycles end, people born during this time are absolutely keenly aware 
of the duality of life, the end and beginnings of all.  They are 
absorbed into the realization that for a beginning you have to have 
an end.  For there to be balance there needs to be a twin, the end 
of the old and the beginning of the new.  People born during these 
times are often conflicted between the balances of the cycle of 
life.  They have a foot in the old and a foot in the new and it is 
often times harder to balance between the old and new than most 
people can comprehend.  
Sequence Tiwaz
Personal Month: What you can expect to happen to you during this 
month
You can choose this is the time to choose the direction you have 
always been wanting to go.  This is the time for you to not only 
review the decisions that got you to this point but also to make any 
and all course corrections that will set you on the course you will 
be traveling over the next year.  For this is the time to be as 
conscious and aware of all the lessons you have been working on all 
this time in your life.  And understand the decisions that you have 
already made.  Be aware of the consequences to those decisions.
