Artist and singer in one person from Morocco - Fatima Ezzahra - has returned with a real hip-hop compositions in a new album called "Wandering Wind " It was released on June 8 this year and is now available on her music streaming channels like Youtube, Spotify, Soundclound and others. Lyrics are, as always, deep, this time from The Light of Asia, or The Great Renunciation (Mahâbhinishkramana), book by Sir Edwin Arnold.

Musician Fatima Ezzahra is a 23-year-old young female from Morocco. She has been creating music now for many years and this is her fourth solo album. Relatively recently, she also released her very charming third solo album consisting of piano and her voice in a smooth jazzy songs filled with a knowledge of ancient wisdom - Thirukkural parts - gathered together in a chill-out philosophical album "Desire But Duty" is what everyone needs to hear.

As the lyrics for the "Wandering Wind" are written in the book of “The Light Of Asia” – a form of a narrative poem - describing the life and time of Prince Gautama Buddha, who, after attaining enlightenment, became the Buddha, The Awakened One, as we all know him today, parts of songs are in a hip-hop style. The songs presents his life, character, and philosophy in a series of verses. It is a free adaptation of the Lalitavistara.

A purpose of this album is to introduce listeners about a very little known outside of Asia - Buddha and Buddhism. Fatima’s songs are one of the first successful efforts to popularize Buddhism for a Western listeners implementing Eduard Arnold’s poetry into songs. It is worthy to mention that after receiving the poem from theosophists, Mahatma Gandhi was awed and his subsequent introduction to Madame Blavatsky and her Key to Theosophy inspired him to study his own religion.

Fatima Ezzahra stands out mainly for her harmonious and melodic performance. Her compositions have a soul and sometimes a reggae touch. Nevertheless, she is still one of the world’s top singers. This is also what she proves in this album, because "Wandering Wind" is a album with a again something revolutionary new - songs with sharp hip-hop rhymes and smooth touches in refrains.

The musician's best-known compositions are "The Voices ofthe Wandering Wind" and "Who Flung Me Flowers", which are played on both Radio mind108.com and Radio BestReggae.co.uk. The musician also shares a song with the Latvian singer Grafomāns. It is known that the first music video for this album is coming soon, as well as Fatima already is working on her next project.

The song was made in the studio of the reggae artist zHustlers – BlackSeaRecords.com by a content creator and producer Martins Ate. He has also created visual effects for this song. You can learn more about Fatima Ezzahra's work by looking at her compositions online on her website – FatimaEzzahraMusic.com. It must be said that real UK hip-hop and lo-fi fans will like this album a lot.

A favour done, not as return for another, 
is more valuable than
heaven and earth put together.

A timely favour, however trivial
its material value is,
is invaluable.

done without calculating the returns, 
it is vaster than the ocean.
Those who know the value of a favour, 
will not evaluate its worth,

just delve into the real impact of a favour,  

even if a favour done is a minor one.
Those who know the true value of a favour, will see
for the quantum of favour, a tree, where there was a grain.

Impact Of A Favor  - eLouise

The wealth of one who has a balanced view, 
will remain intact and will last for the next generations. 

Ups and downs in life are inevitable  

Even if some good comes out of the gains 
generated by being unfair, 
desist from making that gain. 

Ups and downs in life are inevitable

Whether a person has been just or unjust in life,

Ups And Downs - eLouise - (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

Pouting after a tiff,
Patching up and making out,
These are the perks
Gained by those
United in love.

  United in love,  United in love.  

The more we learn, the more we learn
There is much unknown.
Same it is with love,
The more I lie with my bellowed
The more I learn there are joys untold

  United in love,  United in love.  

It sears when I go far, It chills when I get near
Such a fire, Where-from did it appears?

    United in love,  United in love.

United In Love - Fatima Ezzahra (Desire But Duty, 2021)

If, without fairness, you desire 
to usurp the well-earned wealth of others,
it will destroy your family, 
trigger more crimes and result in guilt. 

 One who is flawless and wise 
 One who is flawless and wise   
 And has mastered all senses, 
 Will never feel ‘I’m poor’ 

Craving for the cheap thrills
That other’s money can give, one,
Who seeks TRUE happiness, 
Will not do an unrighteous act. 

 One who is flawless and wise 
 One who is flawless and wise   
 And has mastered all senses, 
 Will never feel ‘I’m poor’ 

What is the use of deep wisdom 
and broad knowledge, if one acts 
indiscreetly with anyone, coveting his wealth.

One who seeks to be compassionate 
and manifests it in virtuous ways, 
will succumb to destructive thoughts and acts, 

How will one’s wealth never shrink? 
By, not desiring to usurp the wealth of others.

Do not covet others’ wealth; on fruition,
the consequences are always contemptible.

knowing the virtue of not coveting others’ property, wisely desist from it.

Wealth - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

The wealth of the wise 
one who loves, 
and is loved by, the world,
is like a public pond brimming with water.

Give, and live with fame; 
there is no other gain for lives.
 
 All that chroniclers chronicle, 
is the renown that rests
on those who give to the needy.

Give, and live with fame; 
there is no other gain for lives.
 
Nothing other than incomparable fame,
lasts forever in this world.  

Give, and live with fame; 
there is no other gain for lives.

Live With Fame - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots)

The gains of compassion are most precious; 
material wealth is possessed even by the despicable.
 
There is no sorrow for the compassionate  
 
Pursue the virtuous path and have compassion; 
all spiritual quests lead to this companion.
 
There is no sorrow for the compassionate  
 
The fertile world which endows us 
with breathing air illustrates that
there is no sorrow for the compassionate.

 There is no sorrow for the compassionate

Compassion- eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

Even if it yields glory and riches galore, 
refraining from harming others
is the principled path of the impeccable.

 
If you Harm others in the forenoon,
harm will visit you, in the afternoon.  

Not to hurt those who have caused 
harm before, out of wrath,
is the principled path of the impeccable.


If you Harm others in the forenoon,
harm will visit you, in the afternoon.

All light is not light; for noble scholars,
truthfulness is the true light  of enlightenment.  
For those who, with sweet words, are capable of giving generously
and protecting their people.

No other fame equals to Not lying  
No other fame equals to Not lying 

Truth is defined as speaking words 
that cause no harm.
Even a lie will be placed on par with the truth,
if it yields unblemished benefits.
The leader who heeds to counsel that stings the ear,
will have the world rest under his sceptre.

No other fame equals to Not lying

Water ensures cleanliness externally;

Truthfulness - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

Fearlessness, generosity, wisdom and vitality:
these four are persistent characteristics expected of a king.

Jah is my True Enlightenment  
Jah gives me true Enlightement
 
The poor do not possess this world; 
likewise, the uncompassionate 
do not inhabit the other world.
The world will eulogize a ruler , who is
easily accessible and refrains from rude rebukes.

Jah is my True Enlightenment  
Jah gives me true Enlightement

The uncompassionate doing a righteous deed 
is like the unwise finding true enlightenment.

and are forever, doomed.

True Enlightement - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

To believe that transient things will last forever
is deplorable stupidity.
Great wealth accumulates  like a crowd assembled at a theatre;

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.

 Wealth is transient; when it comes about,
use it to do a lasting righteous deed.  
when it goes, it vanishes like the crowd at the end of the play.

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.  

*BRIDGE: (more powerfull singing)
The wise get this : Time, that manifests itself as days,
is a sword that slices off life.

Before your tongue goes numb
and you let out your last breath,
Hurry to do one more good deed.

One More Good Deed - eLouise (My Jamaican Roots, 2021)

listen; it is
the crutch in times of crisis.
Who was there yesterday, is gone today:
Whatever one renounces, cannot cause pain.

The world is Thus, The world is Thus, The world is Thus
The world is Thus, The world is Thus, The world is Thus

They, who, hold  over a billion thoughts in their minds,
know not how to live their lives for a moment.
Listen to the good; doesn’t matter, how much;
whatever be the quantum, immense greatness, it will bring.

The world is Thus, The world is Thus, The world is Thus
The world is Thus, The world is Thus, The world is Thus

*BRIDGE: (more powerfull singing)
Give it up, if you want to, when you still got it.
Only then are the joys of giving up huge.

In deep waters,
the crocodile wins.
When it gets out,
it is vanquished.

In deep waters,  In deep waters,
In deep waters, the crocodile wins.    

Neither will
the strongest chariots sail the seas,
nor will the seafaring ships
ride the land.

In deep waters,  In deep waters,
In deep waters, the crocodile wins.  

An uncontrollable tusker
that has gored many a spearman,
when stuck in a deep quagmire,
is easy prey for a fox.

In deep waters,  In deep waters,
In deep waters, the crocodile wins.

In Deep Waters - Fatima Ezzahra (Desire But Duty, 2021)

This universe existed in the shape of Darkness, unperceived, destitute of distinctive marks, 
unattainable by reasoning, unknowable, wholly immersed, as it were, in deep sleep.
Then the divine Self-existent indiscernible, making all this, the great elements and the rest, discernible, 
appeared with irresistible creative power, dispelling the darkness.

The Jah Is My Golden Egg 
The Jah Is My Guide

He who can be perceived by the internal organ alone, who is subtile, indiscernible, and eternal, 
who contains all created beings and is inconceivable, shone forth of his own will.
He, desiring to produce beings of many kinds from his own body, 
first with a thought created the waters, and placed his seed in them.

The Jah Is My Golden Egg 
The Jah Is My Guide

That seed became a golden egg, in brilliancy equal to the sun;
in that egg he himself was born as Creator, the progenitor of the whole world.

In The Beginning - eLouise, For You Alone, Jah, 2021

In which calm home of happy life and love
     Ligged our Enlightened One, knowing not of woe,
     Nor want, nor pain, nor plague, nor age, nor death,
     Save as when sleepers roam dim seas in dreams,

    	 Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good.
     	"Fair is the world," he said, "it likes me well!

     And land awearied on the shores of day,
     Bringing strange merchandise from that black voyage.
     Thus ofttimes when he lay with gentle head
     Lulled on the dark breasts of the wife,

  	   Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good.
  	  "Fair is the world," he said, "it likes me well!
     
         Her fond hands fanning slow his sleeping lids,
         He would start up and cry, "My world!  Oh, world!

	     Bright-clad and laughing as if life were good.
	     "Fair is the world," he said, "it likes me well!

Bright-clad and laughing - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

I hear!  I know!  I come!"  And I would ask,
     "What ails my Lord?" with large eyes terrorstruck;
     For at such times the pity in his look
     Was awful, and his visage like a god's.

	Wherefore and whence we are ye cannot know,
         Nor where life springs nor whither life doth go;
         We are as ye are, ghosts from the inane,
         What pleasure have we of our changeful pain?


     Then would he smile again to stay her tears,
     And bid the vinas sound; but once they set
     A stringed gourd on the sill, there where the wind
     Could linger o'er its notes and play at will—

	Wherefore and whence we are ye cannot know,
         Nor where life springs nor whither life doth go;
         We are as ye are, ghosts from the inane,
         What pleasure have we of our changeful pain?

    	 	Wild music makes the wind on silver strings—
  		   And those who lay around heard only that;
				   But I hear the heavens play,
  	  	 And to my ears they sang such words as these:—

	Wherefore and whence we are ye cannot know,
         Nor where life springs nor where does life go;
         We are as ye are, ghosts from the inane,
         What pleasure have we of our changeful pain?

We Are As Ye Are - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

What pleasure hast thou of thy changeless bliss?
     Nay, if love lasted, there were joy in this;
     But life's way is the wind's way, all these things
     Are but brief voices breathed on shifting strings.

	But thou that art to save, thine hour is nigh!
     	The sad world waileth in its misery,
     	The blind world stumbleth on its round of pain;
    	 Rise, children of illusion! wake! slumber not again!

     O ilusions children!  because we roam the earth
     Moan we upon these strings; we make no mirth,
     So many woes we see in many lands,
     So many streaming eyes and wringing hands.

     	But thou that art to save, thine hour is nigh!
     	The sad world waileth in its misery,
     	The blind world stumbleth on its round of pain;
    	 Rise, children of illusion! wake! slumber not again!


     		Yet mock we while we wail, for, could they know,
     		This life they cling to is but empty show;
     		'Twere all as well to bid a cloud to stand,
    		 Or hold a running river with the hand.

    	 But thou that art to save, thine hour is nigh!
     	The sad world waileth in its misery,
    	 The blind world stumbleth on its round of pain;
    	 Rise, children of illusion! wake! slumber not again!

Children of illusion - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

So sigh we, passing o'er the silver strings,
     To thee who know'st not yet of earthly things;
     So say we; mocking, as we pass away,
     These lovely shadows wherewith thou dost play.

	We are the voices of the wandering wind
   	  Wander thou, too, O Prince, thy rest to find;
   	  Leave love for love of lovers, for woe's sake
   	  Quit state for sorrow, and deliverance make.

     Thereafter it befell he sate at eve
     Amid his beauteous Court, holding the hand
     Of sweet Yasodhara, and some maid told—
     With breaks of music when her rich voice dropped—

	We are the voices of the wandering wind
   	  Wander thou, too, O Prince, thy rest to find;
   	  Leave love for love of lovers, for woe'ssake
   	  Quit state for sorrow, and deliverance make.

   		  An ancient tale to speed the hour of dusk,
    		 Of love, and of a magic horse, and lands
    		 Wonderful, distant, where pale peoples dwelled
    		 And where the sun at night sank into seas.

          We are the voices of the wandering wind
   	  Wander thou, too, O Prince, thy rest to find;
   	  Leave love for love of lovers, for woe's sake
   	  Quit state for sorrow, and deliverance make.

The Voices Of The Wandering Wind - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

Is there a land which sees the great sun roll
     Into the waves, and are there hearts like ours,
     Countless, unknown, not happy—it may be—
     Whom we might succour if we knew of them?

	There must be many we should love—how else?
	There must be many we should love—how else?


     Ofttimes I marvel, as the Lord of day
     Treads from the east his kingly road of gold,
     Who first on the world's edge hath hailed his beam,
     The children of the morning; oftentimes,

         There must be many we should love—how else?
	There must be many we should love—how else?

		         Sore have I panted, at the sun's decline,
     To pass with him into that crimson west
     And see the peoples of the evening.

         There must be many we should love—how else?
	There must be many we should love—how else?

How Else - Fatima Ezzahra (Wandering Wind, 2021)

Every twice-born man, who, relying on the Institutes of dialectics,

The Truth, the sacred tradition, the customs of virtuous men, and one's own pleasure,

they declare to be visibly the fourfold means of defining the sacred law.
The knowledge of the sacred law is prescribed for those who are not given
to the acquisition of wealth and to the gratification of their desires; 
to those who seek the knowledge of the sacred law the supreme authority is the revelation.

Revelation. Revelation. Revelation.

But when two sacred texts are conflicting, both are held to be law; 
for both are pronounced by the wise to be valid law.

Sarasvati and Drishadvati, the sages call Brahmavarta.

Thus has the origin of the sacred law been succinctly described to you 
and the origin of this universe; learn now your the duties
With holy rites, prescribed by the Veda, must the ceremony on conception 
and other sacraments be performed for twice-born men, 

Child must be fed with sacred formulas of Absolute Love
With gold, honey, and butter.
Child must be fed with sacred formulas of Absolute Love
With gold, honey, and butter.

which sanctify the body and purify from sin in this life and after death.
By burnt oblations during the mother's pregnancy, by the ceremony after birth
The tonsure, and the tying of the sacred girdle of Munga grass
is the taint, derived from both parents, removed from twice-born men.

Child must be fed with sacred formulas of Absolute Love
With gold, honey, and butter.

Endless praise arises,
O thou Jah that liest
Rapt, on Kumla's breast,
Happiest, holiest, highest!
Planets are thy jewels,
Stars thy forehead-gems,
Set like sapphires gleaming
In kingliest anadems;

 Even the great gold Sun,
 Blazing through the sky,
 Serves thee but for crest-stone,
 Jai, jai! jai! Jah!

As that Lord of day
After night brings morrow,
Thou dost charm away
Life's long dream of sorrow.
As on Mansa's water
Brood the swans at rest,
So thy laws sit stately
On a holy breast.

 Even the great gold Sun,
 Blazing through the sky,
 Serves thee but for crest-stone,
 Jai, jai! jai! Jah!

   O, Drinker of the poison!
   Ah, high Delight of earth!
   What light is to the lotus-buds,
   What singing is to mirth

 Even the great gold Sun,
 Blazing through the sky,
 Serves thee but for crest-stone,
 Jai, jai! jai! Jah!

Art thou—art thou that slayedst
Madhou and Narak grim;
That ridest on the King of Birds,
Making all glories dim.
With eyes like open lotus-flowers,
Bright in the morning rain,
Freeing by one swift piteous glance
The spirit from Life's pain:

 Of all the three Worlds Treasure! 
 Of sin the Putter-by!
 You are the Ten-Headed Victor!
 You Shaker of the Mountain!
 You Shadow of the Storm!
 You Cloud that unto Angels face
 Comes welcome, white, and warm!

O Jah — to who to great angels
Art like the silvery beam
Which moon-sick chakors feed upon
By rivers silent stream,—
To thee this hymn ascendeth,
That angels doth sing,
Of worship, love, and mystery
High Lord and Heavenly King!

Truly, richer than all riches, 
better than the best of gain,
Wisdom is; unbought, secure—once won, 
none loseth her again.
Truly, richer than all riches, 
better than the best of gain,
Wisdom is; unbought, secure—once won, 
none loseth her again.


One moon silvers all that darkness which the silly stars did dot.
One moon silvers all that darkness which the silly stars did dot.

Truly, richer than all riches, 
better than the best of gain,
Wisdom is; unbought, secure—once won, 
none loseth her again.

Richer Than All Riches - eLouise(HappyLand, 2021)

Cups and goblets, brimming with celestial wine,
Wine that hurts not head or stomach: 
this and fruits of heav'n which shine.
Bright, desirable; and rich flesh of what birds 
they relish best. Yea! and—feasted—there shall 
soothe them damsels fairest, stateliest;

Peace! Peace! Peace!—and the righteous ah! those bowers!
They shall lodge 'mid thornless lote-groves; under mawz-trees thick with flowers
Peace! Peace! Peace!—and the righteous ah! those bowers!
They shall lodge 'mid thornless lote-groves; under mawz-trees thick with flowers

Damsels, having eyes of wonder, large black eyes, like hidden pearls,
Jah grants them for sweet love those matchless girls.
Never in that Garden hear they speech of folly, sin, or dread,
Only Peace; Jah only; that one word for ever said.

Peace! Peace! Peace!—and the righteous ah! those bowers!
They shall lodge 'mid thornless lote-groves; under mawz-trees thick with flowers
Peace! Peace! Peace!—and the righteous ah! those bowers!
They shall lodge 'mid thornless lote-groves; under mawz-trees thick with flowers

Shaded, fed, by flowing waters; near to fruits that never cloy,
Hanging ever ripe for plucking; and at hand the tender joy,

Peace! Peace! Peace!—and the righteous ah! those bowers!
They shall lodge 'mid thornless lote-groves; under mawz-trees thick with flowers
Peace! Peace! Peace!—and the righteous ah! those bowers!
They shall lodge 'mid thornless lote-groves; under mawz-trees thick with flowers

Peace, Peace, Peace - eLouise (HappyLand, 2021)

When the Day of Wrath and Mercy cometh, 
none shall doubt it come;
Unto hell some it shall lower, 
and exalt to heaven some.
When the Earth with great shocks shaketh, 
and the mountains crumble flat,
Quick and Dead shall be divided fourfold
:—on this side and that.

The "Companions of the Right Hand" 
- Ah! how joyful they will be!
The "Companions of the Left Hand" 
- oh! what misery to see!)

Such, moreover, as of old times loved the truth, 
and taught it well,
First in faith, they shall be foremost in reward. 
The rest to hell.
But those souls attaining Jah oh! 
the Gardens of good cheer
Kept to bless them! Yea, besides the "faithful," 
many shall be there.

The "Companions of the Right Hand" 
- Ah! how joyful they will be!
The "Companions of the Left Hand" 
- oh! what misery to see!)

Lightly lying on soft couches, beautiful with 'broidered gold,
Friends with friends, they shall be served by youths immortal, who shall hold.

The "Companions of the Right Hand" 
- Ah! how joyful they will be!
The "Companions of the Left Hand" 
- oh! what misery to see!)

Day Of Wrath And Mercy - eLouise (HappyLand, 2021)

O Dancer! strip thy peacock-crown away,
Rise! thou whose forehead is the star of day,
With beauty for its silver halo set;
Come! thou whose greatness gleams beneath its shroud
Like thunders rainbow shining through the cloud.

  To mine, O Jah with the words of blossoms!
  To mine Jah Great I sing
  To mine, O Jah with the words of blossoms!
  To mine Jah Great I sing

Come, for I love thee, my Beloved! yet.
Must love thee—cannot choose but love thee ever,
My best Beloved—set on this endeavor,
To win thy tender heart and earnest eye
From lips but sadly sweet, from restless bosoms,

  To mine, O Jah with the words of blossoms!
  To mine Jah Great I sing
  To mine, O Jah with the words of blossoms!
  To mine Jah Great I sing

    Half hopeless, thinking of myself forsaken,
    And thee, dear Loiterer, in the wood o'ertaken
    With passion for those bold and wanton ones,[24]
    Who knit thine arms as poison-plants gripe trees
    With twining cords—their flowers the braveries
    That flash in the green gloom, sparkling stars and stones.

  To mine, O Jah with the words of blossoms!
  To mine Jah Great I sing
  To mine, O Jah with the words of blossoms!
  To mine Jah Great I sing

To Jah I Sing - Glow Ria (Revelation, 2021)

Even your phantasies are teachers.
Mighty Love makes sweet in seeming
Even Earth's woodland dreaming;
Mighty Love sways all alike
From self to selflessness. Oh! strike
From your eyes the veil, and see
What Love willeth Him to be
Who in error, but in grace,

  When the mango blooms in spring,
  And "Koohoo," "Koohoo," birds sing

Sitteth with that lotus-face,
And those eyes whose rays of heaven
Unto phantom-eyes are given;
Holding feasts of foolish mirth
With these Visions of the earth;
Learning love, and love imparting;
Yet with sense of loss upstarting:—
For the cloud that veils the fountains

  When the mango blooms in spring,
  And "Koohoo," "Koohoo," birds sing

    Underneath the Sandal mountains,
    How—as if the sunshine drew
    All its being to the blue—
    It takes flight, and seeks to rise
    High into the purer skies,
    High into the snow and frost,
    On the shining summits lost!

When the mango blooms in spring,
And "Koohoo," "Koohoo," birds sing

Ziemas saulgriežos, kad visdziļākajai tumsai seko jauns gaismas pieaugšanas periods, latvieši svin Ziemassvētkus. Latviešu gadskārtā Ziemassvētki ieņem ievērojamu vietu, un svinības ilgst četras dienas.

Ziemassvētku svētīšanai saskatāmi it kā divi dažādi cēloņi:  pirmkārt, tie ir saulgriežu laiks, kad pēc visdziļākās tumsas atgriežas gaisma, saule atkal sāk savu augšupeju, un otrkārt, tas ir Dieva dzimšanas laiks.

Ziemassvētku vakarā ievads svētku norisēm ir bluķa vilkšana. Tā ir viena no īpatnējām Ziemassvētku izdarībām, kam ir sena rituāla nozīme.  Vecu ļaužu liecībās bluķa vilkšana saprotama kā aizgājušā gada grūtumu un nedienu sakopošana.

Bluķa vilkšana, šķiet, ir pati skaistākā un varbūt arī viena no senākajām Ziemassvētku rituālajām norisēm. Ne velti Bluķa vakarus dažos novados sāka svinēt jau no Mārtiņiem, kulmināciju sasniedzot Saulgriežu naktī. Saime, skandējot Ziemassvētku dziesmas ar piedziedājumu "kaladū", bluķi ar virvēm vilka pa saviem laukiem, dārziem, apkārt kūtīm, staļļiem, mājai, lai visbeidzot sētsvidū sadedzinātu. Degošajam bluķim jautri smejot lēca pāri, jo ticēja, ka tas, tāpat kā Jāņu ugunskurs dod svētību visiem, kas atrodas tā liesmu tuvumā. Vietās, kur ļaudis vairāk dzīvoja ciemos, jaunieši ar bluķi devās cauri visām tuvējām mājām, gājienu noslēdzot kādās krustcelēs, kur bluķis aizdedzināja iepriekš sagatavotu svētku ugunskuru.

Bluķa vilkšanas senākā nozīme bija piedalīšanās kosmiskajā Saules atgriešanās mistērijā, kad tā, nolaidusies Debesu kalna zemākajā ielejā, atkal gatavojās uzsākt jaunu kāpienu augšup. Bluķa velšanās atgādināja gan Saules kustību, gan Esamības ciklu mūžīgo miju.

Daži uzskata, ka bluķī attēlota saule, kuru ļaudis tādējādi velk augšup un mudina atgriezties, citi, ka izvelkot bluķi pa malu malām no tām tiek savāktas likstas un nelaimes, kuras pēcāk iznīdē sadedzinot.

Bluķa velšana ir viena no raksturīgākajām Ziemsvētku tradīcijām, lai gan ticējumos un tautasdziesmās šī tradīcija minēta maz.

Bluķa māte bluķi vēla
Pašā Bluķa vakarā.
Lai veļ bluķi trīsi reizi,
Nenāks mošķi caur sienmāli.

17. gadsmimta sākumā izdotajā grāmatā "Veca vārdnīca" par bluķa vakariem teikts tā : "Bluķa vakars bij vakars priekš Ziemassvētkiem. Tad tie ciemos taurējuši, lai varētu sapulcēties un jānēt, danci vest."

Ziemassvētku vakaram raksturīgas arī citas īpatnējas darbības, kas ieilgst vēlu naktī - nākotnes zīlēšana, zīmīgas izdarības un vērojumi. Zīlēšanas veidi ir dažādi.  Vēl latviešiem iecienīta laimes liešana no svina, alvas vai sveču taukiem, kas gan tagad pārnesta uz Vecgada vakaru.  Ielejot izkausēto metālu vai taukus aukstā ūdenī, rodas īpatnēji veidojumi, kurus vērojot un tulkojot mēģina paredzēt laimi nākošā gadā.
