( also the period takes time you could say that the year has her period. ) it makes sense as frau holle is also very importend in midwinter. and I believe that cristmas is a vertility festival where the younger woman get pregnant so they deliever around july august september which are great times to deliver as there is loads of food and energy great for younger mothers especially in early farming communities where life was really tough and all the kids needed to help and child birth is dangerouse bisnus for us humans. <br /> ( wait until you hear my ideas around saint nicolas) Douwe Jan Schralehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943668478497226823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455236209379584574.post-67566728918550483492020-06-27T14:10:23.710-07:002020-06-27T14:10:23.710-07:00it also has themes of virtility. blood of the peri...it also has themes of virtility. blood of the period, she was was spinning and started bleeding, she has spinned so many times ( so many years) the wheel is the wheel of time. the big wheel is the year wheel while the small rinse is the day wheel. she bleeds and she gos with it to the well. which is vertility. after the bleeding the woman becomes vertile symbolised by the well. . works really hard and helps the old woman she is prepared for being a mother by the matriarch.but in a way also its like the older woman who is within her pulling her forward. her subconsiouse she in a way knows what to do. and she does it from the inside out not from the outside in like the bad sister who does things for rewards. for the outside world and she find the outside world to be harsh and dangerouse which it is sometimes. she also gets her spin back at the end and the cock/han. is saluting her the junkfrau is wieder dar. Days have passed, She is back to her self. it seems to have within it that you also do your duty when things are tough things will turn out oke and there is a reward. the reward is that you are a wonderfull person. while if you do things out of spite and jalousy and greed you will become for ever drained in blackness and bad luck will follow you.

After working with my Animus for many years, my dreams are telling me I am now identifying with Carl Jung’s archetype, the Wise Old Woman. She shows up as either benevolent or destructive.
