I’m writing this on the 29th January 2010 which is the anniversary of the day I received the name Douglas Many Deeds from some non hostile Indians. We are close to the beginning of February, which means about forty days after Yule. The mother of the Celtic Sun god born again on the 21st of December, the Solstice, has experienced her customary forty days of purification after childbirth and is now entering her cyclical change into maidenhood.
