THE ELEVENTH DAY OF YULE - DECEMBER 30 - LOYALTY! The eleventh day of Yuletide, we light a candle and remember Loyalty. Elder Germanic society was based on a web of Loyalty - to family and tribe, to a chosen leader, to the Gods and Goddesses. The same applies to us today. We should give Loyalty and expect it of others, reciprocating in a dynamic exchange that grows continually stronger. Loyalty is intimately connected to many other values; it requires Steadfastness and Truth in our oaths, and without it the Community falters and dies. Where there is no Loyalty, there is no honor. Let us be Loyal! This day I will pour a libation to Wiglaf, the warrior who stood with Beowulf when all others fled in terror. I will be Loyal this day. Below is a video with ADDITIONAL thoughts on LOYALTY! tinyurl/pwhbxzv Hail the Gods! Hail the Folk!
