In the news there was a picture of an old symbol, which resembled the Nazi crosd but was the mirror image and felt natural for Finns. It kind of reaches further forward, has some such insight. Like with weather skills showing one's own weather skills at the door when in a group of few going out in a someehat skills demanding wrather or yhe like. Yet after that only one part of the group, each one going freely one's own wsy.
If one is forced to take medicines, unwanted drink or suspicious food, it helps if one thinks that the world is of spirit and thinks it ok to use some Christmas like ok positive atmosphere or spiritual influence, kind of a piece to help survive through such and to help the body and mind adjust such drugs, food or drink.
If one is gnome like, good feeling maybe comes from moving meditation like noticing each moment and each factor in life like in poems and like one has learned about healthy ways of living and wisdom of life, and picking each moment what suits one and how much of it, and leaving others too the freedom of choice, yet some communication about wisdom of life, maybe like one can complain about rainy weather, or mention things read in the media.
Beautiful pictures but so technical that maybe not agree to have so much such, see https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ld24J-s4JNw&list=RDld24J-s4JNw&start_radio=1

I no longer have tge strenght to write more, but this was an impirtant major subject in my life.
Here is my text from yesterday for which I no longer had strenght, plus long explanation, see https://ofwitches.blogspot.com/2025/01/of-causing-major-magic-weather-phenomena.html
"Of wider perspectives
I was left thinking of the eyebrows of the man with two kuds in a downhill skiing center in today's news picture. Were thise real or make-up? Eyebrows rising upwards seems to refer to the person always wanting quality lufted upwatds and still more upwards etc. Or did tge man have quite low arched eyebriws, kind of preferring normal everyday life of a quite liw level of quality in the world.
Of skiing lufting quality would prooably mean that instead of looking to only at one's own feet and maybe a meter forward, one woukd see wider landscape of moving untill the next turn and a few meters after it, kind of see tge landscaoe and have experience of ways of moving and skills of moving and of cariations and what affects them and what is a good atmispheric way to ski, instead of jyst surviving a piece by piece like in cokd weatgers sometimes easily hapoens or in unmotivated tasks, i.e. in tasks demanding more than how one values such or longs for such then.
And simikarly from jyst skinng, one coukd luft the level to what is good lufe, what kibd of mixture of healthy things makes life goid for each, and how to get the cgances for such. And one could also so understand about healthy ways of living and wisdom of lufe according to feelings, and about making such chouces, and so there is the question, how coukd obe make it understanding in the whole socirty or dustrict? Is there any way of learnibg, any understabding of good ways of doing for people generally, so that others seeing oneself, woukd jyst remark, yes that is a good idea, and so their kuds etc would learn that too, like happens often with wrather skklls suited to the weather right then.
And one could so maybe also understand tge place of each kind pf profession in life, kibd of how to tune obe's life to good lufe if one is of a human type likibg certain kinds of jobs and doing them with really good quality and well for the world, wisely well, and fknding one's life's right balance with such a job but with the rest of healthy lufe too with wisdom of lufe, lives running well in the societh, kibd of healthy garmony, and civiluced wisdom helping kn achieving such.

In the news there was today an article https://yle.fi/a/74-20182220 about the middle part of Turku's church bells having been repaired to more like the nature of rocky shore is mighty and like life varied, yet still the same bells.
Somehow it came to my mind add the news subject here, just in case that my texts could offer some help. But my upbringing was atheistical and in the capital Helsinki. The way of talking in Turku is too tough for my memory, too slow.
" 11th of September 2025 As I saw some parts of the Swedish Melodiefestivalen, it looked like largely the idea in Eurovision, and Eurovision looked like copied from the Swedish versions of the advices about how to arrange Eurovision. So one ought to make own advices for each country, area, human types, instead of copying those who don't make good quality for these recipients.
I added some links to my blog about angels, see https://anokangel.blogspot.com , of angel likedness. But the engel blog isn't at all as good as my Christmas gnomes skills blogs.
The culture in Helsinki plus hobbies is my background. So if you feel squeezed, ask where to find such wisdom of life. It really is effective way to get a better life.
( Today in Facebook.com there was a drawn video of Christmas like bought things, kind of like shutting one's eyes partly, just wishing that is enough, but it isn't.
For things to go well, one needs to have a landscape like view, and build on sincere mitivation of each, but not overly much build upon it. One also needs to pay attention to what each one feel mitivated toward, and not lie who is motovated to what. Some may want such a hobby or a job, and some just hang around on the social favour of those who are not so motovated. )

I have written seven years of skills for a Christmas gnome like life in the modern world, year around, world wide. Most are some observations of life, generalised. But sometimes I have not had so much experience, qiite rarely, but so I happened to mentipn hot air balloons, but so hot air balloons seem to be what remains from my thousands of pieces of wisdom, of those advices.
As people get older, they have found what kinds of things they like and shete to find sucj. Among other things they may live where they like things and at least know where to spend their holidays. So what they buy ha extra spirit, works well for them, and such seems kibd of artistic and spirited. So where they live and spend their holidays, may change across time, since otherwise thdy would get bored and have nothing new to learn.
See my book "Magnifient views : and nice to live in", at www.amazon.com/author/khtervola .
I borrowed from the public library in Savonlinna the book Tontun vuosi (= the year of a gnome) 6th of September 2018 and read it or most of it. The next day I read the rest of it and wrote a comment about it to my Finnish blog, which is now 7 years ago. And later that month I translated that comment to English, and got stuck to writing about that subject.
These texts include, among other texts,
Skills of Christmas gnomes (9 books),
Wisdom of life for Christmas elves (3 booklets),
A sorcerer (3 booklets),
Christmas angels (around oneself in the living environment) (1booklet, 3 editions)
Paradise theory (kind of academical in style, thick book)
Feelings, rationality and moral for computers (academical + short stories about feeling robots)
And other texts, including weather skills and miracle healing advice attempts, also about space travel,

6th of September 2025 Of the shoes of the dolls/statues in the cover of the book Finnish elves.
The fully wooden shoes get easily wet and cannot be used in above zero C. Those also get easily dirty if the ground isn't snowy, and as dirty those do not stay warm under the feet.
The leather boots are thin and would need thick socks to keep warm. Their tendency to get into folds at the ankles typicslly makes them unusable, just a historical example. I guess that this has been solved by leather in tve lowes part plus long woolen parts witj narrow leather sewn from ankle to knee. Then one can have the bottom of the boot come somewhat more forward so that if it is below 0C, one can fasten old-fashioned skis to it. With thick socks inside it ought to be nice and warm, work well in skiing leisurely.
Ordinary shoes of nowadays work well locally whdre bought.
The warmth of a coat depends on how windproof it is. And on how much warm air ia ibside it, and so surprisingly a net lije shirt with a loose quite stiff windproof coat can br very warm.
Woolen and largely wooden clothes need to be taken of immediately if you sweat or otherwise are too warm, was it above 30C? Because wool shrinks in warm or hot, just spoils the clothes, making them unusable, was it half the size, or maybe it depends on the type of wool, but dangerous anyway.
7th of September 2025
Of the red Christmas gnome or elf hat, I do not quite know how is it's use restricted. It is clearly for calming down to Christmas preparatipns and Christmas celebration. The form of the hatis largely what is easy to sew. So the hat is latgely for indoors use when one wants a very Christmas themed time for oneself.
For outdoors use one needs a thicker fabric, typically wooden and without a so long sharp tail. Instead one has kind of blunt tip with a ball of woolen threads. One needs two paper rings and red threadgoes around them like a spiral many times. Then one thread goes around betseen thw two spirals and one makes a knot in it and with scissors cuts all other threadsat the outer edge of the paper circles, and so one can tidy the threads to a ball and fasten it to an ordinary wlolen winter hat.
Or ona can have over cartong thread back and forth, slip with needle one thread trouch in them, and this is for fasyening the bunch. And maybe a cm from that tied from putside the threafs to a bunch, and cut the bunch of threads at the other end of them, and get sosmall bell like bunch for decoration, for example four such at the upper corners of a winter hst.
The fabric's edge is two straight lines from the center of a circle plus the edge of the circle between them. You can measure the width by thread or by palm width or from an ok hat of yours, but leave a little more space to be comfortable with it. Cotton fabric, red, Christmas style. One can have s furry edge in it, for example furry white edge. Just sew the two straight lines together. And possibly fold the round edge and sew it neatly to get a right size for the hat. At the tip in sewing thread it is customary to have a small jingle bell, but all hats do not have such since the sound may be dangerous.

27th of September 2025 Yesterday was seven years from when I yranslated the first Christmas gnome text yo English, and I came to buy a Christmas themed dozing blanket.
" " Always wish well for the world, for the living kind, and keep that always as major goal in everything, in doing things, deciding anything and in living your life, including all social contacts, things said, etc. Follow common sense, especially healthy basic common sense. Be fair toward all individuals, groups, ( things, goals, etc. ) (Healthy) wisdom of life. Value good quality.
"
7th of February 2025 The traditional problem has been that of life possibilities disappearing because of having chosen some maybe personally liked alternatives for major life choices, but in the above advice the moral seeks to quarantee also that one would suit also to going to places, association with other groups etc, since the values make the choices suit them too.
