2g. Festa: Laws and Frya’s Day

[014/09] This Festa has said:

“All rules that endure for one ‘eaw’ — that is one hundred years — with the Bearer and his Wheel may,^[1] on the advice of the mother and by common consent, be written on the walls of the burgs. Once they have been written upon the walls, they are ‘eawa’: laws, and it is our duty to honor them. Should necessity or coercion come to give us rules in conflict with our laws and customs, then people must do as demanded. But when the troubles have passed, then one must always return to the old ways. That is Frya’s will, and so must it be of all her children.”

Festa said:

“All things one wishes to set in motion, whatever they may be, on the day that we have dedicated to Frya, shall always go amiss.” Since time has proven that she was right, it has become a law that, absent necessity or coercion, on Frya’s Day, none may do otherwise than to celebrate joyful feasts.

[1] ‘endure (...) with the Bearer’ (KRODAR: wheelbarrower) ‘and his wheel’ (JOL: Yule, wheel of time) — metaphor for enduring, explained on page [045]; KRODAR seems related to Chronos and Krotos from Greek and Krodo from Germanic traditions. Note that the constellation ‘Great Bear’ indeed looks more like a barrow (Old English: baer) than like a bear; ‘eaw’ (ÉW) — Dutch: eeuw (century), eeuwig (eternal).
