A New Shrine
One of the things we did in my household this Yule was set up a shrine to Idunna. I’ve never really had any type of devotional relationship with Her before, but this autumn, we all began finding ourselves deeply drawn to Her veneration. I wanted to share a picture of the shrine. I’m very pleased with the way it’s coming along. It is a wall shrine, though I”m not sure that comes through in the photo. We have it hanging at the top of our stairs and every time we pass by, we pray to Her.
Tonight was our last formal Yule ritual. We had Modranacht on the 20th, a proper Yule rite on the 21st, and tonight we did a rather informal rite for the House of Mundilfari. Our next rite will be on the 31st to usher in the New Year. Happy Yule, folks.

Idunna has a special place in my heart and hearth. Mother made her apple deserts from scratch…or scrinch…as I remember the sound of her knife peeling and cutting the apples. Apple pie, apple brown betty, apple cobler…all with her loving hands. I often wonder what she thought of as she was doing it. Mother had a lot of grief in her life. Perhaps that was how she made peace with it.
Thank you for sharing the photo,
