I shall pass on some of my families ancient wisdom (it's not ancient), something that has been within my family for many, many generations (it's literately just from my nan's sister)

Father or Prince Christmas, carrying the Yule log, illustration from 1848. The personification of Christmas was part of the centuries-old European folkloric tradition of pre-Christian midwinter celebrations, associated with the Slavic god of the Sun and fire, as well as with counterparts in other religions, and with the burning of an oak log or sapling on each hearth to restore strength to the Sun and enter the period of its rise and the lengthening of the day. From 1780: “Here comes I, old Father Christmas, welcome or welcome not, I hope that old Father Christmas will never be forgot…”

Vila is the Slavic equivalent of a fairy, usually human-sized. Vile (plural) are always beautiful, eternally young women, with long hair in which lies all their magical power. These enchanting beings of nature can often fly and sometimes enter into brief relations with mortals, who are unable to hold onto them for long. Stay tuned to read more intriguing bits of Slavic mythology in English (and many other languages soon on our website). 🔥

「 We owe it to ourselves to live a good life, one of prosperity; one of integrity, of honor and devotion. To be a pupil and steward to the Brothers and Sisters still struggling to make it out of the dark. 」

"Through the journey, the Work is never completed; for it sheds layers upon each new beginning, pushing through the begrudging embers which we feel surrounds us, as greatness is made out of the most vulnerable of Man; to those whom are brave enough to have chosen to make this journey walk alone along the darkness where the end is seemingly nowhere in sight, and the shadows scream around one, dancing; flickering with illusion. This journey lies awakened in a constant battle of mere tribulation, where Man shall indeed witness the test of ones Might streak across a dimly emblazoned path of self–sacrifice; narrow, with subtle stability. Man wearingly proceeds along a tightrope to the path of ones destiny; the path of ones Will, reflecting illusions of shadows.

Shall one allow it to consume the formidable essence of their being, or shall they proceed to initiate an illumination of ones light; to cast a shadow of a few, yet be a fractal of many? It is there at the crossroads where it lingers once more, upon a stillness, performing it's dance amongst the darkness as it begins to dissipate; for it sees the light of Man now touching the edge of an ephiphany, one which greets an open field to the light of a new dawn. The realization of one who has survived tribulations of the night. A moment of rest insues; insight upon the danger of what could of been at a moment nearly out of sight. Through the rings of darkness, it lays dormant at the edge of the forest haze; giving its decrepitory gaze upon Man, as they shall too meet once again; but for now, beyond the face of a new phase, one begins their trek closest to the riddles end of its maze."
