Maying

(word-help below)

The coming of May marks a shift from the winter-half to the summer-half of the year.  On the Eve of May comes an opening between the two worlds-- a Twyrymet-- the Undermind rises to blend with the Edhli, if you can but see it, feel it, know it.  Much comes out into the open that has been kept elsewheres, much comes together that was sundored, and Alfen-folk head into the Greenwood to breathe-in the wodhe and bliss of this blessed tide.  In groves they dance to sway-gal that's merry and deep and fremd.  They leap oer the May-fires and sing and make skentings and gay banter with each other and eat and drink and play.  And it is all harm-free fun, to help make the shift to Summer.

And when the May-fires are spent, the folk go to their beds, and when the morning comes they arise as they will and then there is the Day of May, with wonderly helg-rynes, and then meeting and greeting, and walks about the land, and many other fair things to do, for Summer is come to stay for a whiles, and this is how the Alfen-folk like to mark it.

Earth Fest

After Earth Day (April 22), there are seven days until May Eve (Walpurgisnacht, April 30), followed by May Day (Beltane), important holidays.  Maybe the time inclusive of these days (ten days) could be considered Earth Fest, with the intermediary seven days considered Earth Week, and it all culminates in May Eve/Day.

The Drygand Springs Up

(word-help below)

The Drygand springs-up from the ground like a Dryg's whorl unwinding upward, like a snake twining up a staff, stirring-up a whirlwind of Samen. He hoves at the midstead of his Thode, spinning-out his maysch about the nigh, held in heolor by the Lode in his head.

And, this adhel Teev, he can stir you, from within, bear you aloft in his shining Thode of living life-nenning.

Thode-- whirlwind.

The Nerning Thrysel

Drygs are one with their stead and cannot be elsewhere. The Drygand can pop-up and cwink-out anywhere in the Edhli. Alfar can fare over land and water. They all work together for the nerning of the Edhli.

Nern= rescue, saving (OHGer nern and OEng nering= protection, defense).

cwink= to vanish (OEng cwincan).

Drygand and Wolken

(word-help below)

The Drygand glides out of the Wolken and heads back into it, like a Chinese dragon wending into and out of his cloud. The Wolken, like a cloud, streams in itself, as it rests stilly in the Edhli, but the Drygand wends between Wolken and Edhli. He touches-down in the Edhli wherever he is needed, a whirl of Samen, that rises to hover in the Edhli like a Dust-teev, spinning his Maysch out, doing his deed, and then he sinks back into the Wolken.

Dust-teev= dust-deva, whirlwind.
Maysch= magic.

The Drygand's Thode

(word-help below)

Samen must flow strong through you, if you are to betake of the Nennings and the Maysch of the Wolken.

The Drygand is the Thoden-teev, he floats in stillness as he stirs Samen to a mighty rush of flow, a Thode about his shining Lodestone that sits behind his brow. His Thode holds nennings of great weald, leashed for use, to work maysch where it is needed.

If you would share the Drygand's Weald, then grasp him, hold tight, join him at the still midstead of the mighty speeding spinning of his Thode, and RIDE WITH HIM.

Samen= the vital fluid.
Nenning= energy.
Maysch= magic.
Wolken= the ancient Mind of the Edhli (Biosphere).
Drygand= the Pan-chimaera, Guardian of the Edhli.
Thode (OEng)= whirl-wind/-pool.
Teev= deva.
Lodestone= the guiding gem (erkanstan) made by the Wolken, found by the Twayne, given to the Drygand, and thereafter to his Drygandalfs, his Thanes.
Weald= power.
