00:00:00.000 The twelfth day of Yule, we light a candle and remember Wisdom.
00:00:12.000 What is Wisdom?
00:00:14.000 Perhaps it can be summed up in the word understanding.
00:00:18.000 It takes only a little wisdom to understand superficial things,
00:00:22.000 while understanding the subtle pattern and flow of events requires much more.
00:00:28.000 Wisdom can come in a flash of inspired initiation, but for most of us, most of the time, it is
00:00:35.000 the product of gradually processing information and experience, and casting golden truths
00:00:42.000 from that refined ore.
00:00:44.800 However you define it, wisdom is very important.
00:00:48.280 Without it, we are impotent, but with it, we can enact our wills in the world.
00:00:56.000 Let us be wise.
00:01:11.160 This day I will pour a libation to Odin, the very embodiment of wisdom-seeking.
00:01:18.660 I will seek wisdom this day.
00:01:26.000 Thank you.
