   In her hopefully prophetic song Twist in My Sobriety,   
   British songwriter Tanita Tikaram wrote:   
      
   "Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah   
   Time to risk a life, a life, a life   
   Sweet and handsome   
   Soft and porky   
   You pig out 'til you've seen the light   
   Pig out 'til you've seen the light”   
      
   Now in Scotland today/tonight is Hogamany, or   
   New Year’s Eve, and celebrations generally   
   extend to early on New Year’s Day (and sometimes   
   even until the bank holiday which is on Monday).   
      
   Also I am posting this using Hogwasher newsreader,   
   and have to click on a picture of a hog with a   
   monocle to activate it.   
      
   And the phase of moon is late waning crescent moon,   
   which is associated with the Welsh crone goddess   
   Ceridwen, who in her pursuit of Taliesin took on the   
   form of a sow (and also a hen), so can be called   
   the sow goddess.   
      
   All of those pig/hog/sow references lead me to   
   hope for major positive world changes by dawn   
   on New Year’s Day ("You pig out 'til you've seen   
   the light”)   
      
   See the thread “High hopes for Hogamany” on   
   alt.religion.druid for further posts from me on the   
   subject, hopefully reporting progress, though I was   
   hoping not to work New Year’s Eve.
