Sorry Phtha, it was a bit naughty of me.

I am afraid symbolism often pass straight above my head. It's not that I'm totally blind, and I'm all for following the heart and intuition. Signs and divination can be awfully interesting. However, symbols are like the bible, not god made, and definitely interpreted by mortal beings; we can make any story we want out of that book.

If we get stuck in a narrative, we most likely miss the point, and very often end up not recognizing that we make the world with our thoughts and actions. What ever level of conciousness that flow through us, I seriously doubt Santa, Christmas, Jul or traces of pagan past is evil. I think it's how we treat each other, and what we make together that matters.
