Since my Y-DNA results revealed Nordic ancestors…
I closely examined their mythology. In Norse mythology, Árvakr and Alsviðr are the horses that pull the sun, or Sól’s chariot, across the sky each day. This made me recall the image from Day 56 of 72 Days of God, which reminded me of the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
And the vision of the Thunderbird that appeared on the morning of Day 26 of the 72 Days of Angels. In Norse mythology, the dragon represents greatness in many forms: great strength, great danger, great destruction, and great wealth.
And when I changed the view of Greenfield Lake on Google Maps, the outline of the lake appeared as a Drake or wingless dragon.
It was also the Year of the Dragon in Chinese Astrology. All of this set the stage for my year of The Sun.
On August 31, 2024, I purchased the BIG Y-700 upgrade at FamilyTreeDNA and was told that the results would be posted sometime in November/December. In the meantime, I decided to move organically through the next few months with no agenda.
Would The Sun shine on me, scorch me, or pass over me altogether? The next eleven months would tell the tale.
