From Auðumbla’s milk, from Tiamat’s blood, from Ygradsil’s roots, from the Void of Being, becoming, a reconciliation is born…as are we. Welcome to this Harvest Time episode of A Year & A Day!…

Actively or inactively, avoiding or leaning towards in relationship with.
And as we are sunk and submerged into the root system again, it is then the sap, this water that goes back into the great tree and flowers in the present.
And to sing to our ancestors in that way means that we are singing to them because they are part then of the movement back into the flowering present.
So it is one of the, I would say, more beautiful descriptions of reincarnation that I hear a lot in my own practice, obviously in the Buddhist tradition.
coherent image of how this moves around the tree and um and the worlds also are underneath the world of the dead and the world underneath the root systems are also places of great significance in the northern myths and the one who rules those submerged places or the the great goddess of hell, H-E-L, I would say that she was probably one of the, she's probably an echo of the great matriarchal goddess that Maria Gimbutas writes about many, you know, that was all over Europe at one point.
And she was given the deepest place the darkest place, right? She was thrown into the, which is again, very similar to the idea of this primordial water, primordial fire, the feminine being put into the darkest depth.
But it's an interesting, fascinating way of seeing how she submerges and she sinks deep down into the underworld deeper and deeper and even the great country of holland you know is named after her right so you've got she's everywhere mother holly is everywhere she's there she's all over europe and the the echoes of her are fascinating to follow yeah i'm sure you can write a whole phd about it
