I want to share this podcast bc it really speaks to something I’ve been feeling the last couple of years around Christmas.
I’m tired of the Fear. I’m tired of seeing posts calling Christmas “satanic” and equating the tradition of Santa to grooming children to be accepting of pedophiles.
I went through that period of time where I questioned all of it. I saw the bullshit and I felt the anguish of “losing my religion”. I was disillusioned. I was sad. And I completely rejected the entire “Christmas Season” in the way I had come to know it. And that really did need to happen.
But the reason it needed to happen wasn’t to close the door forever on Holiday festivities and traditions. It wasn’t to become cold or angry or bitter at the understanding that things have been perverted.
It was to clean the slate…To take away everything I thought I knew and allow me to connect with the parts of this Season that I truly do feel an affinity for. To find the things that actually bring me Joy. Not just the approximation of it based in what I was conditioned to Believe, but real Joy and connection to this Life.
I have forged a new relationship with “Christmas” and Yuletide and it’s MINE. I Resonate with certain parts of it on a deep level and I’m so very thankful for that.
I’m attaching a podcast that I think touches on this sentiment. And it just might re-ignite your love of the Season - and even some of the traditions you may have been led to believe are “bad”.
Things in your Life have the meaning that YOU GIVE THEM. And that’s pretty fucking wonderful.

“In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal that has been brewing in my heart for years now. I finally have words to explain why I’ve never stopped believing in Santa (for reals!) and why all the “debunking” and “lying to children” bandwagons don’t sit well with me, and most importantly, why this is a hill a will happily die on.
I mean, just ask yourself, which prophet, oracle, or priestess ever said, "oh hang on a second, let me check the lore..." before delivering their divine messages?
So, I’m peeling back the layers to reveal a figure whose origins start way back in the mist of time—a spirit who carries echoes of ancient gods, European folklore, and whispers from the divine.
Together, we’ll explore:
• Santa’s deeper roots—from Saint Nicholas to Norse gods like Odin, Thor, and Freyr.
• The ancient untamed Wild Men of Europe and their surprising connection to the Santa story.
• The Holly King and the balance of light and dark during the Yule season.
• Why Santa is a muse, keeping the Old Ways alive in art, stories, and traditions.
But most importantly, we’ll talk about why believing in Santa Claus isn’t a lie we tell children—it’s an invitation to trust in magic, to believe in things unseen, and to nurture a connection to something greater than ourselves. What we feed will endure.”

Ok. So, nothing in this world has any INHERENT meaning. We’ve talked about this before but I got a bit of a download about it yesterday. I’ll explain.
Part of the reason that the Awakening process is so difficult is because there’s a phase during which you realize that the things in life you used to enjoy are actually, well…meaningless.
Holidays, eating out, shopping, clothes, possessions, vacations etc stop being enjoyable to you because you realize that to a certain extent they’re all a waste of time. Or at least it seems that way.
You might even have been told that Christmas is “satanic” or that singing happy birthday to someone casts a spell on them. So instead of enjoying those things you begin to be wary of them. Maybe you avoid them altogether. A few years ago I was so disenchanted with Christmas that I basically skipped the whole thing. And I think I needed to that at that point.
But here’s the deal.
The issue isn’t what these things mean from the outside. It’s not about what you’ve been told or conditioned to believe about them. It’s about what YOU believe.
Let’s stick with Christmas as an example. As a kid you were likely taught Christmas is Jesus’ birthday and that Santa Claus is coming to town, yada yada. Ok. Good bad or indifferent, those are all external stories you were told about what this time of year “means”.
Perhaps during this awakening you “learned” that a lot of the traditions are evil or satanic. And that might have made sense bc you can clearly see the consumerism and the material obsession. However, it’s important to realize that all of that is just another story you’ve been told about its meaning. Another EXTERNAL story.
You might have been left feeling that Christmas is meaningless and fallen into a state of depression or grief. Because let’s face it, when you lose something that was meaningful to you, there is a grieving process.
But listen, the download I got yesterday was simple:
“Yes, life is inherently meaningless. But that is a gift. Everything has the meaning that YOU give to it. You get to choose.”
So here’s the heart of that message — stop letting the external world tell you what anything means. Stop letting it tell you how you should feel about Christmas or birthdays or anything else.
What does it mean TO YOU? You are the Creator of your life. You get to choose the meanings of the “meaningless” experiences that you have. They do not come with embedded importance or significance. The things you’ve learned about them are all just stories. And you don’t have to accept those stories; you can write your own.
Have an amazingly glorious day.
In Love,
TR ✨💕✨
