The Freedom Song of the Jigsaw Girl

Sorry I've been quiet for a while. November and December are often very difficult months for me mental health wise and this year has not bucked that trend. But I'm hanging in there and hope you are all doing well.

I hope that all my pagan friends are having a lovely Solstice today. Blessed Yule/Litha to you all! I'm very happy that our days will be getting longer again.

In fandom news, I was very happy to participate in the Steter Secret Santa this year. I wrote a short fic and created the banner to go with it. So without further ado, I give you so much Christmas fluff:

Summary:

Allison, Kira, Stiles, and Peter were not a pack that anyone had expected, but they made it work. What mischief can the four get up to while exploring Poland on their winter holiday?

I was absolutely wiped by the time I got home yesterday. It was all I could do to toast a bagel for dinner and collapse into my favorite chair for some unwinding. So I didn't get around to posting anything.

For my fellow pagans and witchy types, blessed solstice and Yule/Litha (depending on which hemisphere you live in).

I also hope that everyone is having a lovely holiday season regardless of which holidays they celebrate this time of year.

I'm very much looking forward to a short week this week. I work Monday morning, but have Monday afternoon, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning off. And I will leave work early on Friday for an appointment that requires a bit of a drive. Not as nice as having an afternoon off without commitments, but still nice to have a short week.

As for my weekend and holiday plans, they're fairly quiet. Last I checked the rain we were having has turned to snow, though it didn't look like it was sticking. So we may or may not have a white Christmas. I'm doing my usual weekend chore of laundry and otherwise enjoying a relaxing day in my pjs with coffee and fanfic. My plan is to have Christmas dinner with some of my heart family, but otherwise I will be having a quiet and restful holiday.

I hope that whatever your plans are they go as smoothly as possible, that any stress you are dealing with eases, and wish you all bright blessing for the coming year.

finch offered a one card draw prompt over on napowrimo a few days ago. The card I received was "The Emperor." On a side note this was an interesting card to receive as it also came up in a recent reading I did for myself. I reviewed some of the interpretations and illustrations of this card and then set out to write a poem on the card. I'm not 100% certain how I feel about this poem, and would very much welcome constructive criticism.

Ruling Bodies

He likes a well ordered world,
clear structure and definition
without question; he has risen to the top,
become the highest authority.
Ordered vision his guide, he now seeks to guide us.
