Historically, this is how Lucy enters occult and occultural use that is not as miracle-worker, but as a stable symbol of disciplined sight.

In the Mid-Midwinter by Liz Lochhead after John Donne's 'A Nocturnal on St Lucy's Day' At midday on the year's midnight into my mind came I saw the new moon late yestreen wi the auld moon in her airms though, no, there is no moon of course - there's nothing very much of anything to speak of in the sky except a gey dreich greyness rain-laden over Glasgow and today there is the very least of even this for us to get but the light comes back the light always comes back and this begins tomorrow with however many minutes more of sun and serotonin. Meanwhile there will be the winter moon for us to love the longest, fat in the frosty sky among the sharpest stars, and lines of old songs we can't remember why we know or when first we heard them will aye come back once in a blue moon to us unbidden and bless us with their long-travelled light.
At midday on the year’s midnight
into my mind came
I saw the new moon late yestreen
wi the auld moon in her airms…

A portrait of Saint Lucy, she has long dark brown hair, and wears a gold robe. She has a halo around her head, and holds a golden dish with two eyeballs in it.
Today is #StLucysDay ✨
The patron saint of electricians and ophthalmologists is recognisable in paintings as the saint holding her eyes on a plate.

Painting, St Lucy by Carlo Crivelli
Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's,
Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks;
The sun is spent, and now his flasks
Send forth light squibs, no constant rays;
The world's whole sap is sunk;

The struggle between light and darkness resonated strongly in the Nordic world. The devotion spread via missionaries and was celebrated throughout the Middle Ages and into the present day. Quite an example of knowledge circulation!

#Christ our Lord,
through all the holy women
who live in the light of your glory,
grant to the #FaithfulDeparted
the everlasting vision of happiness.
~ Lord, remember your Church.

Review: The Man from Majorca (1984) **** 4/5
‘…an effective thriller similar to British thrillers like The Sweeney, with a similar, hangdog, caustic vibe as cops face off against hoods layered with white-collar bureaucracy’

13th December is St. Lucy's Day. In the Bohemian Forests, St. Lucy would appear as a goat, giving fruit to good children and threatening to rip up naughty ones...
