When Dec. 19, 20, and 21 (Time and date may vary according to your local time) with Dec. 16, 2019 for Virtual Midnight Vigil.
Why these 3 Days? We begin a new tradition according to the 13 Month Magoist Calendar. Tune in with Mother Time in Mago Almanac: 13 Month 28 Day Calendar (Year 4). Dec. 17 is the New Year according to the 13 Month Magoist Calendar and Dec. 21 is Winter Solstice. New Year on the new moon before the December Solstice, the first lunation we began in Year 1.
Day 1 (Dec. 19): What is a dragon? How does it relate with whales?
As an imaginary animal, a dragon represents the Cetacean Divine, Yongwang (The Ruler of Dragons). Conventionally, it is thought that Yongwang refers to Dragon the King, indifferent to whales. Yongwang is attributed to controlling the weather especially rain by raising wind or storm in the sea. The logographic character, yong (龍), is taken for the vernacular term, mir (미르), which is derived from mul (물 water). The connection between a dragon (mir) and water (mul) is tangible in the iconography and literature of dragons. That a dragon is the time-old Magoist symbol for the Cecean Divine has gone unnoticed by scholars and students as well as the public. The totemic bond between humans (represented by Magoist Shaman Queens) and animals (represented by Whales) has been ruled out in the mind of patriarchal researchers in the first place. The dragon as a cetacean messenger puts into perspective the large corpus of seemingly unrelated data concerning a dragon in mythology, literature, art, lore, and culture in general and names them as Magoist Cetacean manifestations.
