Old Disting/Burns’ Night/St. Paul’s Day
Important in old runic calendars, Disting is the feast of the Disir, the Norse guardian goddesses. On this day a major festival of the gods was held at the temple in Uppsala, Sweden. Burns’ Night celebrates Robert Burns, the Scots poet. Burns’ Night revels are a modern continuation of Disting. The day is also a weather marker:
If St. Paul’s Day be fair and clear,
It do betide a happy year.
But if it chance to snow or rain,
Then will be dear all kinds of grain.
If clouds or mists do dark the sky,
Great store of birds and beasts will die.
And if the winds do bly aloft;
Then wars shall vex the kingdom oft.
If it should thunder on St. Paul’s Day, great winds are predicted.
