Plans: GPRF http://www.greatplainsrenfest.com/ , friends over
Fruchtbarkeit/Saturday, we pray to Ing-Frô and to Sibba, lighting green candles (for fertility):
Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
the growing things that sustain our lives. Help us look beyond the packaging and
promotion, to the richness of the Earth from which all bounty comes. When ordinary eyes see only corn, let us see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let us see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba, that we may do our work in the world. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

GREAT day at the GPRF! http://www.greatplainsrenfest.com/ Picked up my mead order. Lots of friends I haven’t see for so long, AND MY OKLAHOMA FRIENDS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prep time was for my Oklahoma friends was time well spent. It was an entire evening lavishly spent in feasting and samal. It may very well have been a signature point in my life as well as Rheinwood Nordliut’s. It was simply that outstanding!
WAY past my bedtime. Time well invested! Fertility (Inguz), Divine Spirit (Ar), Fate (Laf), Positivity (Is) ALL well played-out all night!
Lots of pics to place on the Internet.
Eger und Râhana, mysterious keepers of the deep hall at ocean’s bottom, host to the drowned and the sea lost. Your dwelling might be thought sad and gloomy, but you are known to be kind and hospitable ale givers. In your goodness then, cheer us when waves of misfortune pound our life’s fragile boats to the bottom. For even at the bottom, there is warmth, cheer and hope. Be our assurance; be our inspiration to strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, EGER
