December 24 Mōdraniht, the Night of Mothers In this night the old founding mothers of the clan or tribe are revered, together with ancient mothers of many previous generations, the mother goddess Frigg and other deities of Roman influence known by the name of Matres or Matronae.
Those women, also named Disen, were in charge of protecting the countryside and the clan and keep the wellfare and fertility growing. They were also the guardians of the field and the ones who helped women to give birth and protected men in war and in the hard work.

For women this is a celebration of all the mothers who have come before. Without them we would not be here, so on the eve of Christmas take a moment and remember that long line of mothers and send a rememberance and a gratitude back down that line.
I created this image City of the Ladies - Mōdraniht - Mothers Night last year as a tribute to mothers everywhere and every when spiralling down through time but didn't post it on time so I saved it up until now
