Tarot Thursday — Judgement (Space Invaders Edition)
This card captures that moment when everything in the universe calls your name at once, and you know it’s time to rise. Judgement is awakening, clarity, and the point in your story where you stop running and finally answer your purpose.

In Space Invaders, that moment hits the second the sky fills with enemies and you’re the only one left to stand your ground. It’s do-or-die, rise-or-fall, you vs. the entire cosmos.

Judgement reminds us:
when the world feels overwhelming, you are not powerless — you are being called.

12/24/2025

The veil between cozy and magical is thin tonight — candles flicker, wishes settle, and the whole world feels like it’s holding its breath for tomorrow morning.
What was the most unforgettable gift you ever opened?

📅 Yule (2025)
• Sunday, December 21st, 2025
• Aligns with the Winter Solstice, the longest night and the return of the sun.

⸻

🌿 What Yule Means

Yule marks the rebirth of the sun — the moment when the days stop shrinking and begin to grow longer again.
It’s a celebration of:
• Light returning after darkness
• Protection and hearth magic
• Hope, renewal, and quiet transformation
• Family, rest, reflection, and gratitude

This is the true “witch’s Christmas,” rooted in earth cycles rather than modern festivities.

⸻

🔥 Yule Lore (Short, Strong, Witchy Version)

Yule comes from ancient Norse and Germanic traditions. It originally lasted twelve nights — yes, the origin of the “12 Days of Christmas.” During these nights, families gathered around hearth fires while the wilderness filled with winter spirits, gods, and wandering beings.

Key elements of Yule lore include:

⭐ The Rebirth of the Sun
• On the longest night, the sun is “reborn.”
• Many Wiccan and Pagan traditions see this as the Child of Light returning to the world.

🌲 The Evergreen Symbol
• Evergreens were treasured because they stayed alive through winter.
• Bringing them indoors symbolized life, resilience, and protection.

🔥 The Yule Log
• Originally a massive log burned through the entire solstice night.
• Its ashes were kept for protection, luck, and blessings for the coming year.
• Today we use candles or smaller logs for the same symbolism.

🌬️ The Wild Hunt
• In Norse lore, Yule is tied to the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession of spirits led by Odin.
• The winter wind was believed to carry their howls.
• People stayed indoors, honored their ancestors, and lit candles to guide benevolent spirits home.

🦌 Animals of Yule
• Reindeer, deer, wolves, owls — all symbols of endurance and winter magic
• The stag especially symbolizes rebirth and sovereignty

🕯️ Light in the Dark

Candles, lanterns, and hearth fires were lit to:
• push back the darkness
• honor ancestors
• welcome returning sunlight
• invite blessings for the coming year

THE BALDURS GATE MOUNTAIN PASS DEBACLE

So picture this: I meet Karniss, everything’s fine, everything’s normal…
and then the Harpers yoink his Moonlantern before I can even TOUCH it.

Which means I get sent on a magical scavenger hunt to find Isobel.
She finally hands me the stolen lantern — literally three seconds before the Marcus (i try to AVOID this dude whenever possible) fight triggers. Timing? Impeccable.

Except…
now I’m stuck with a screaming pixie trapped inside the lantern.
Like, full-volume crying.
No dialogue option.
No interaction.
No “set free.”
Just PIXIE SHRIEKING as we walk around like nothing’s happening.

So what do I do?
Exactly what any unhinged adventurer would:
I steal a SECOND lantern from Moonrise Towers, swap them out, and yeet the noisy one into a chest.

Problem solved.
Therapy required.
Adventure continues.

Deep winter wakes the old spirits…
and none are quite as dramatic as a giant shadow-cat who eats people for not getting new clothes.
Honestly? Respect.
The Yule Cat is out prowling tonight…
and he’s absolutely judging your winter wardrobe.

🐈‍⬛✨ THE YULE CAT (JÓLAKÖTTURINN) — FULL LORE BREAKDOWN

❄️ Where It Comes From

The Yule Cat comes from Icelandic folklore, originating in the countryside during the long, harsh winters. It’s tied to the older traditions of:
• winter gift-giving
• wool production
• the pressure to finish chores before Yule
• and keeping everyone, especially farm workers, motivated

It is not your average winter creature:
It’s a gigantic, shadowy cat that prowls through snowy nights looking for…
✨ people who didn’t get new clothes for Christmas ✨

No, really.

⸻

🐾 What the Yule Cat Looks Like

Descriptions vary, but the core elements stay the same:
• Enormous — bigger than a house in some stories
• Black fur that blends into winter darkness
• Glowing yellow or orange eyes
• Silent, predatory movement through snowfields
• Sometimes its fur is described as spiked, shaggy, or frost-covered

Your art version is perfect because he looks both mystical and absolutely dangerous.

⸻

🎁 Why Clothes?

This is the best part of the lore.

The Yule Cat is tied to an old tradition:
Everyone was expected to receive new clothing for Yule — even just a pair of socks — as a reward for completing autumn wool work.

If you didn’t get new clothes…
it meant you didn’t contribute enough to the household work.

And the Yule Cat?
He would eat:
• the lazy
• the unmotivated
• or anyone who simply didn’t get new garments before Yule

This folklore basically encouraged:
✨ hard work
✨ teamwork
✨ finishing tasks before winter hardships hit

It’s winter capitalism but in cat-demon form.

⸻

👹 Connection to Gryla & the Yule Lads

The Yule Cat is part of a notorious Icelandic winter family.

🧌 Gryla
• A mountain giantess
• Eater of naughty children
• Mother of the Yule Lads
• Terrifying and ancient

👦 The 13 Yule Lads
• Mischievous troll-like sons
• Each with a weird theme (Door Slammer, Sausage Swiper, Candle-Stealer, etc.)
• They visit one by one in December

🐈‍⬛ The Yule Cat
• Gryla’s enormous pet
• Helps her find “naughty” humans to feast on
• Essentially a winter-night hunter

They’re Iceland’s creepy-but-beloved winter mascot family.

⸻

🌬️ Symbolism & Witchy Interpretation

The Yule Cat embodies winter themes:

❄️ Survival

Winter was brutal — only the prepared and hardworking came through safely.

🧶 Craft & Magic

Clothing is protective, practical, and symbolic:
• warmth
• abundance
• effort
• care
• blessing

🐈‍⬛ Shadow Guardian

The Yule Cat becomes:
• a protector of homes
• a punisher of laziness
• a winter spirit demanding respect
• a reminder that dark times require shared labor and community care

Witchy interpretations often see him as:
• a guardian spirit
• a familiar of the dark season
• a symbol of rightful reward and justice

⸻

🐈‍⬛ Modern Take

Today the Yule Cat is:
• celebrated in decorations
• used in parades
• featured in Icelandic Christmas displays
• an internet icon
• and a favorite of spooky, witchy communities

He’s less “child-eating demon” and more:
“Huge magical cat who judges your fashion choices before deciding if he should devour you.”

And honestly?
Relatable.

Tarot Thursday — The Fool (Baldur’s Gate Edition)
Stepping into Baldur’s Gate feels exactly like The Fool card — you wake up confused, chaotic, and weirdly confident that you can handle whatever fresh hell is about to happen.

You don’t know the path yet.
You don’t know who to trust.
You definitely don’t know you’re about to romance someone who tries to stab you on sight.

But you leap anyway.
You explore.
You choose wildly.
And somehow… the journey becomes everything.

The Fool isn’t about ignorance — it’s about bravery, curiosity, and jumping headfirst into a story that will change you.
Exactly how every BG3 run begins.

I used to skip all the “empty” crates and broken vases tucked in dark corners…
until one day I randomly checked a barrel and found a literal pile of gold inside.

That was the moment everything changed in-game.

Now?
We check EVERYTHING.
Every barrel.
Every crate.
Every suspicious bag tucked behind a rock.

Because that one container you walk past will ALWAYS be the one with the potions, the magic scrolls, or the dried sausages you desperately need.

It’s the universal law of adventuring:
If you don’t check it, it absolutely had treasure.

Deep winter brings all the strange ones out… including Mari Lwyd, the skeletal horse spirit who wanders the night looking for doors to knock on and people to out-rhyme.
Honestly? Same energy.
Only in Welsh folklore would a skeletal horse ghost show up at your door wanting to rap battle you before stealing your snacks. I support her chaotic little winter pilgrimage.

🐴✨ Mari Lwyd — The Welsh Winter Spirit

🌙 What She Is

Mari Lwyd (pronounced MAH-ree LOOD) is a ghostly horse spirit from Welsh winter folklore.
She’s usually represented by:
• A white horse skull
• Decorated with ribbons, bells, greenery
• Draped in a long white cloth
• And carried by someone underneath
• With glowing or painted eyes

Think: spooky skeletal horse ghost showing up at your door singing at you.

⸻

🎤 The Tradition

Mari Lwyd visits homes in late December or early January and engages in a tradition called pwnco — basically a battle of rhyming insults and improvised verses between the household and the Mari group.

If the household loses the battle or can’t think of anything to say?

The Mari Lwyd — this skeletal horse spirit — wins the right to come inside and cause (playful) mischief.

This is the original “let the chaos gremlin ghost in for dinner” tradition.
It’s incredible.

⸻

🕯️ Origins & Lore

Mari Lwyd likely grew from:
• Pre-Christian Celtic winter rites
• Midwinter mumming traditions
• Symbolic visits from spirits during the dark season

Some folklorists think her name means “Blessed Mary”, blending older pagan horse-goddess imagery with later Christian overlays. Some think it means “Grey Mare” — tying her to ancient horse-spirits and fertility deities.

The horse has long been a symbol of:
• transition between worlds
• psychopomp / spirit guide energy
• winter survival

Mari Lwyd’s visit was both a blessing and a challenge — a test of wit, strength, and hospitality.

⸻

🍺 What Happens When She Enters

If you let her inside (because she beat you in the rhyme-off):
• She dances
• Chases people around the house
• Pretends to steal things
• Drinks your beer/cider (true story)
• Brings good luck for the new year

It’s like being invaded by a drunken, skeletal, musical chaos spirit.
No wonder your friends love her.

⸻

🧙‍♀️ Witchy Symbolism

Mari Lwyd represents:
• The Old Year’s ghost arriving at your door
• Chaos + creativity
• The veil between living and dead being thin in winter
• The sacred role of wit and wordplay
• Community magic in darkness
• Blessings granted through challenge

TAROT THURSDAY: GAMER VERSION
(Three of Swords/Among us)

The Three of Swords is all about:
• Betrayal
• Backstabbing
• Sudden heartbreak
• Trust being shattered
• Emotional damage
• “Et tu, Brute?” energy
• The pain of realizing someone you trusted was SUS AF

Tell me that’s not literally every game of Among Us.

⸻

❤️‍🩸 Heartbreak

Your friend says
“Don’t worry, I’m not the killer.”
and then immediately turns you into a pile of bones.

🔪 Backstabbing

If any card represents being stabbed by friends, it’s this one.

🌧 The Drama

The Three of Swords is dramatic as hell — and so is every Among Us argument.

🩸 The Emotional Damage™

When you swear on your cat that you’re innocent
and still get ejected into space.

🚨 Accusations flying like swords

Everyone pointing fingers, everyone yelling “YOU’RE SUS

✨ PRAISE MAHKLOOMPAH ✨

This well-hidden BG3 side quest took me six full playthroughs before I even knew it EXISTED.
You’ve got hidden caverns under the Underdark, exploding mushrooms guarding secret tunnels, waterfalls, magic portals — the works.

And then you stumble into a cult of fish people worshipping a fake god named BOOOAL… whom they literally spoke into existence.

I swear, every time I start a new game I discover something completely unhinged, and this one is now my absolute favorite.
Praise Mahkloompah. 🐟🔱✨
