The Chill of Math

[David Dalton]

In the last couple of days both I and my brother James,
who also suffers from bipolar disorder though his symptoms
are different from mine and he is an extreme morning
person and I am an extreme night person, have had cold
symptoms. But he seems a bit better today, and I have
just started to come out of a chilled feeling after two hot
bowls of seafood chowder.

This leaves me somewhat hopeful, since in Evangeline
Walton’s translation of the Mabinogion I read that after
three years of being turned into different animals each
year by Math, brothers Gwydion and Gilfaethwy experienced
a strange chill and then transformed back to human.

Now I divine that none of the propthrough ootws (who I
used to call avatar types) had three years of low/working
years, they were all the common seven years or the more
rare fourteen years, and I have had to go over 28 years
(4X7 or 2X14), indeed approaching 29 years (the common
7 years plus 2 sunspot cycles). So anyway I hope that
my low/working years will end by Samhain, though I
might have to wait until Chinese New Year, which will
be exactly 29 years.

OK, I am beginning a new attempt which I will report
on just on alt.religion.druid, for which there was a new
judging of my workings by just Goddess, and it seems
there were some 3-years-low/working-years workings
including Gwydion and Jesus, more further back in
time, at least for humans.
