Pagan Calendar for August 13: Roman Festival of Pomona, goddess of apples and orchards

Pomona was a Roman goddess who was the keeper of orchards and fruit trees. Unlike many other agricultural deities, Pomona is not associated with the harvest itself, but with the flourishing of fruit trees. She is usually portrayed bearing a cornucopia or a tray of blossoming fruit. She doesn’t appear to have had any Greek counterpart at all, and is uniquely Roman.

In Ovid’s writings, Pomona is a virginal wood nymph who rejected several suitors before finally marrying Vertumnus – and the only reason she married him was because he disguised himself as an old woman, and then offered Pomona advice on who she should marry. Vertumnus turned out to be quite lusty, and so the two of them are responsible for the prolific nature of apple trees. Pomona doesn’t appear very often in mythology, but she does have a festival that she shares with her husband, celebrated on August 13.

Despite her being a rather obscure deity, Pomona’s likeness appears many times in classical art, including paintings by Rubens and Rembrandt, and a number of sculptures. She is typically represented as a lovely maiden with an armful of fruit and a pruning knife in one hand. In J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Professor Sprout, the teacher of Herbology — the study of magical plants — is named Pomona

August 13

Ansuz and Aesir

The runic half-month of Ansuz (or Os) begins on August 13, and will have run its course on August 28. Ansuz is said to symbolize an Aesir, a Norse deity, and most probably Odin (who corresponds to the Germanic Wotan or Woden), the chief god of the Scandinavian pantheon, as well as a fearless warrior and the source and seeker of great wisdom. It is told that Odin hung for days upon Yggdrasil, the world tree, in order to be rewarded with the magickal knowledge contained in the Runes. Ansuz is therefore considered a runic vehicle of divine inspiration, knowledge, and communication.

Monday: Keep the moon safe from the wolf

 

Easy to remember – Monday is the Moon Day. The word moon is associated with the Norse god Mona (Máni). He was pulling the moon accross the sky, trying to escape and save it from a mythological wolf. At the end of the world, the wolf will catch them and tear the moon into pieces. This apocalyptic period of the world is called Ragnarok in Norse mythology.

In Romance languages, Monday is also the Moon Day (lunes in Spanish, lundi in French, lunedi in Italian: coming from Latin Dies Lunae).

Due to circumstances that is beyond my control I must cancel the chat scheduled for tomorrow. I have a family matter that requires my immediate attention. I hope you understand and I apologize for the inconvenience. You can still use the chatroom tomorrow, I would imagine Lady Beltane will be there, even if I’m not.

Again, I apologize for having to cancel chat but family comes first.

Love ya,

Lady A

Why I Love The Dark

Tis the coldest place imaginable,
this void within the heart,
the place most adventurers wander,
expecting to be torn apart.

Some have walked there for eternity,
seeking to find some Light,
a small glimmer or a flicker,
to end the endless night.

The fowl wind howls insanity,
it passes through the body like a ghost,
the chill can freeze the very Soul,
survive if you are more skilled than most.

Despite the hideous experience,
which one encounters in the Dark,
the journey is very worth it,
make sure to leave your mark.

So listen up weary traveler,
strike with all your might,
but rejoice in the journey,
in the Dark you’ll find the Light.
