NOTE 2: I broke down and cried while holding Meeka this morning.  It hurts me to se her this way.  A phone call to her Vet in imminent.  I need to know what else I can do.

AM Prayer: Monday/Day of the Moon/Tag der Mondes, we pray to Mano/Manni, god of the moon,  lighting a white candle (symbolic of the moon):
Greetings to you Mano/Manni, silver messenger on high, as you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano/Manni let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE
GIVE YOU HAIL, MANO/MANNI, as we honor the Mani that resides in us!

YUMMERZ!  Audie finally made some German Pork Stew!

Sent out a couple more books as a gift.

I spent a great deal of time this morning gathering up my seminary book and took them into all three of the Book-A-Holic shops http://www.fetchtoto.com/shopping/bookaholic/ in town; made $80.  I just don’t want to think about the hundreds I spent on them.

While out I stopped in to see Meeka’s Vet http://local.yahoo.com/info-17983838-bartel-richard-k-dvm-air-capital-veterinary-clinic-wichita He’s upping her meds a bit to help
with her arthritis.

Another trip back to the 1st Book-A-Holic netted another $10.  So for the day I made $90 on the seminary books.  I didn’t even use ¼ tank of petrol so I did okay.

Loaded up the Funk-N-Wagnall’s encyclopedia and the remainder of the seminary books for donation tomorrow @ the Mt Hope library .

Jeez, Meeka is ÜBER sensitive anymore: gotta be the meds.

Audie and I are taking the neighbor lady out to lunch tomorrow to Golden Corral http://goldencorral.com/

PM Prayer: Wuldar/Ullr:
Wuldar/Ullr, god of ski and bow, you glide through the snow-clad forests bringing death to game and life to your people. Remind us that life feeds on life, and that the beauty of

Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another guise, so that through the spirit of the hunter, we may climb its branched to ever higher levels of awareness.  WE GIVE YOU HAIL, WULDAR/ULLR, as we honor the Wuldar that resides in us!

Measured out the area to play Horseshoes in the backyard.

Started inventorying my Wiccan collection for sale.

Okay, got it done; six pages worth.  My estimation is there are a little over 100 book on that list.  Now all I need to do is create a note on Facebook to see what happens.

More online time

Nice brisk walk for me.

It’s seeming more and more like we’re not going to have any winter, especially when we have 50+F days.

Didn’t get much else done today.  Dealing with all these books is going to take some time and effort.

Call into a Kindred member.  Things are moving right along.

I have even more options for things to do with my books.

Long overdue phone calls to niece and brother.

It seems like my ass has been in this computer chair all freakin’ day!  Ya know what though?  I feel like I’ve accomplished something today.  Making serious strides to rid myself of these Wiccan books. I think Wodan has really smiled on my efforts.  I don’t need some Wiccan book to tell me I need to Spiritually observe the feminine as it comes naturally for me; besides, Wicca seems like even IT’S so foreign to me now, every bit as much as Christianity.  I am fully, Spiritually satisfied in my Heathenry.

PM Prayer: Scata/Skadi:
Scata/Skadi, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, teach me to know the pleasure of the hunt, the joy of exertion, and the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness.  Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi,
grant us the same justice in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and worthy of you. WE GIVE YOU HAIL, SCATA/SKADI, as we honor the Scata that resides in us!

NOTE:  Out with Meeka; ahhhhhhhhhhh, the dawn, my favorite time of the day.

Okay, points of clarification:
*Out with Meeka: down the street, one block north to the highway and back: potty purpose only.
*Meeka for an abbreviated walk: two blocks west on the dirt road and back.
*Meeka for an extended walk: two blocks west on the dirt road, round the block, back, two blocks further east, back home.
*I KNOW you’ve been dieing of curiosity

AM Prayer: Saturday/Saturn’s Day, Day of Fertility/Tag der
Fruchtbarkeit, we pray to Fro/Freyr, and to Sibba/Sif, lighting green candles (for fertility):

Fro/Freyr, you’re the god of “Ar”, the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the lusty enlarger of life. 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, Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  WE GIVE YOU HAIL, FRO/FREYR, as we honor the Fro that resides in us!

Sibba/Sif, let us see you in all 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/Sif, that we may do our work in the world. WE GIVE YOU HAIL, SIBBA/SIF, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us!

Outcome: Excellent both!

Audie is having a rough morning.  I doubt it has anything to do with last night as she couldn’t have had that much to drink.

Me?  I’m having a GREAT morning!

I’ve decided to start lightening my book load.  I want to give a few to my good friend in Maryland.  I want to give some antique German books/newspapers to the Lorraine Church http://lorraineavenue.ks.us.mennonite.net/ and if they cant use them they can
give them to the Alexanderwohl Church http://www.alexanderwohl.org/.  After that I want to take some down to the recyclables place http://recyclewichita.org/ where free books come in and free books go out rather than recycling them.  After that I want to sell my Wiccan books via Facebook.  I plan on holding inventory of what I have, creating a note and mark each book to ½ price plus postage.

Meeka for an abbreviated, mid-morning walk.

I’m going to have to get use to Meeka having good days and bad days.  Yesterday was bad; today good.

Errands
*Some books into recycling http://recyclewichita.org/ free book exchange
*Dillons petrol http://www.dillons.com/in_store/fuel/Pages/default.aspx
*Dillons post office to send out my gift of books to my very good friend in Maryland.
*Taco Tico http://tacotico.com/ for lunch

Since I’m thinking about selling most of my Wiccan books I called Pay Pal
https://www.paypal.com/ in order to understand HOW to receive money.  I’ve always paid out money but have never received funds.  Now I understand.  So, I’ll be able to accept Pay Pal or money order; I would accept a check but that check needs to be approved by the bank of issue upon arrival.  GOT IT!  I would be cautious about accepting cash.

After a conversation with Audie I’ve decided to sell my Wiccan books @ 1/3 their retail price (as best can be determined) rather than ½ plus shipping.  They should sell pretty well that way.

I think I’ve tweaked some interest on Facebook.

Frija/Frigga, teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us.

WE GIVE YOU HAIL, FRIJA/FRIGGA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us!

Froja/Freyja, who could not love you?  Women as their own inner glory and highest
attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest.

Outcome: With the Elder Rune, my mind immediately went back to last night’s victory and the hospital visit.  It seems the Spirit Man is equally happy.


Kindred member SHOULD be bringing her son home from the hospital today; VICTORY!

Audie’s been goofy all morning.

Early afternoon and Audie is off with her “good” friend to celebrate her “good” friend’s birthday tonight…wherever they‘re going.  It’s already been arranged for Audie to spend the night there so I’m pretty sure she’s get fucked up.

Worked on the new backyard project in the south 40.  I pretty much cleared.  Now I know what the previous owner did with his/her yard brush and where he/she put it.  I don’t have any idea what kind of brush had started growing in that pile but it’s gone now.  We’ll see how much more I want to clear by hand.

OMGs, I shouldn’t have sat down…

With Audie gone for the night I’ve had WAY too much time on my hands.  More work on my Socialist website and I created a group on Facebook for Barack Obama in 2012.

Audie got bored at the bar.  Go figure.  I’m not sure if this a good thing or a bad thing.  I had to go get her.  I’m not sure how drunk she is/isn’t.

It didn’t take long and she was in bed

More fun online time…and that’s okay by me!

Picked up Meeka’s pain meds at the Vet.

I called the VA because I was curious about MY meds and any alcohol intake.  I REALLY MISS MY BEER!  Turns out I’m going to miss it even more because as long as I’m on my diabetic meds…NO ALCOHOL; poor, poor pitiful me.

Made hospital visit.

WHAT?  DENIED ACCESS TO A HOSPITAL?  I, AS A MINSTER, DENIED ACCESS TO A HOSPITAL?  THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN MY 20+ YEARS OF ORDINATION!  OMGs I MADE SOME PRETTY HEATED PHONE CALLS!!!!!!!!!!

Supposedly the situation at the hospital been rectified.  I’ll try again later this evening; we’ll see.


The visit to the hospital has been made successfully and the evolutionary process is compete.  For the spirit man, Mother god has allowed me to understand a new process better and have a good influence on the outcome sooner IF there is a next time.

AM Rune: Othilla (R): Problems in relating to home - heritage - spiritual
heritage, and ancestors; Family difficulties, difficulties at home, shunning, unbalanced kinship, genetic disconnection, disruption of family ties - race - culture and the environment, racialism, alienated/disconnected with the family of humankind.


Outcome: Yepper, running the gamut.  Last night’s conversation with a Kindred member and the way Audie woke up this morning…I get it.

On the bright side (so to speak) it’s a BEAUTIFULLY overcast morning!  We haven’t had this kind of cloud cover for some time.

Note: While in the Hof I felt compelled to do a unplanned pull of the Armanen Runes.  It was an odd feeling I have never felt before.

Ur:  That which is permanent, medical help, healing powers, Original cause, origin, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, contact with the transcendent, contact with the dead, life after physical death, Mother-God, Creative Mother Principle, a physician’s rune and represents resurrection, eternity, and continuity, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, root of eternity.


WOW!  Now THERE’S confirmation!

Placed the Armanen Runes in the journal

Created a cover bag for the Armanen Runes

Further made room for the Armanen Runes within the journal.

All set to include the Armanen Runes in the daily Rune readings.  Here’s the scoop.  This is an experiment.  The Elder Runes will continue to look at the physical me and the Armanen Runes will be used to simultaneously to look at the Spiritual me.  We’ll see…

Weather stripped the backdoor.  That kitchen area has been drafty for about as long as I can remember being here.  With the heat vent covered and the backdoor weather-stripped, home is just a wee bit more secure.

It seems my last few dollars will have to pay for her doctor visit.  It’s a low-income clinic, but cost-wise, I certainly don’t think we’re being treated the same as some minorities.

Dillons Rx http://www.dillons.com/pharmacy/Pages/default.aspx

I have been absolutely on edge all day; on my last nerve.  You have no idea the pressure on me to take care of this entire household (pets included) with the little bit of money I have to offer.  I get no help of any magnitude on a regular basis…if at all.  I was not casual about letting my feelings known about this; but indifference was the response.  It’s because of ME this home flies or it doesn’t.  Sometime I wonder how the hel I’ve managed over the last several years; even more so now with added responsibility of health issues abounding.

AM Prayer: Monday/Day of the Moon/Tag der Mondes, we pray to Mano/Manni, god of the moon,  lighting a white candle (symbolic of the moon):
Greetings to you Mano/Manni, silver messenger on high, as you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano/Manni let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. We
honor the Mano/Manni that resides in us. 
MANO/MANNI, HAIL!!

Outcome: HAIL FRO!

Called in to TAA first thing this morning to tell them about my decision to be about work rather than any more schooling.  Typically, left a message.

Online resume corrections

Quincy’s http://quincyswichita.com/ for lunch

Audie down for a nap

My remaining investment check with Fidelity Investments
https://www.fidelity.com/welcome/why-choose-fidelity?imm_pid=1&immid=00486&imm_eid=e3185831&buf=999999 showed up.  I immediately contacted MY investment company to make arrangements getting it to them.   HAIL INGUZ!

I got the phone and my Vonage http://www.vonage.com/ service talking well to each other thanks to Vonage customer service.

The TAA people called back with some good information about pay-check subsidy.  If I accept a job that pays less than I was making at Hawker they will make up the difference for 2 yrs or $2,000 which ever comes first.  Now THERE is Inguz at work!

Meeka for an abbreviated evening walk.  It was the best one she’s had for a while.

PM Prayer: Era/Eir:
Era/Eir, whose loving hands and sweet breath brings healing and health, PRAISE YOUR NAME AMONGST NORTH-FOLK! We thank you for your gentle caress, your soft ministrations and your care. When stress, strains, aches and pains plague is, you come with your lithe figure and flowing hair to ease our distress. Eir, goddess holy and wise, we honor you. We honor the Eir that resides in us.  HAIL ERA/EIR!!

AM Rune: Laguz (U): A body of water, life ever-flowing; seen and unseen, the leek (a healing herb) the feminine, Nirdu/Njord, Nerthus, Fro/Freyr and Froja/Freyja, emotions in tact, potential for life, magical workings, personal growth, the basic energy and secret source of organic life, feeling, intuition.


Outcome: slow day…

Once again I defended a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices on Facebook.

OMGs!  It’s Roe v Wade Day:

*Restrictions http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/roe-v-wade-at-39-a-breathtaking-year-for-abortion-restrictions/2012/01/22/gIQA6xodIQ_blog.html
*Both sides: http://www.roevwade.org/
I will ALWAYS support a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices.  It just gets old seen men in large numbers trying to tell women what to do with their own bodies.  I’ve been to protests.  I’ve seen it.  It really is, in large part, a man v woman issue.

Hail Laguz and the representation of the feminine!

McDs for lunch.  It’s amazing how much I’ve cut back (no more large-sizing) and still feel satisfied. 

LOTS of online time.

Lazy day

Power napped

Tended to the baby trees by cleaning debris out from around the stem/basin and watered them.  

Oh, a bit of rain anyway…

Das ist gut genug! (translated: that’s good enough)

PM Prayer: Heimdall:
HEAR ME HEIMO/HEIMDALL, you’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. Your keen eyes and sharp ears guard the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from the Rainbow Bridge leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining home. We honor the Heimdall that resides in us. 

HAIL HEIMO/HEIMDALL!!

AM Prayer: Saturday/Saturn’s Day, Day of Fertility/Tag der
Fruchtbarkeit, we pray to Fro/Freyr, and to Sibba/Sif, lighting green candles (for fertility):

Fro/Freyr, you’re the god of “Ar”, the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the lusty enlarger of life. 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, Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  We honor the Fro/Freyr that resides in us. 
FRO/FREYR, HAIL!!

Sibba/Sif, let us see you in all 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/Sif, that we may do our work in the world. We honor the Sibba/Sif that resides in us.  HAIL SIBBA/SIF!!

Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Two Runes (again)

Sowulo (Irreversible): The Sun, Sonne/Sunna, a lightening bolt, victory,
success, life force, confidence, optimism, the clear light of day, can be a
destructive lightening flash (clearing), the will to victory, appearance of a
guiding principle, guidance in journeying, spiritual guidance, success and
leadership.


And

Wunjo (U): Joy, pasture, joy attained with the fulfillment of a wish, the
strong Clanic relationship, social contacts, fellowship, happiness, optimism, realization of true will, social and domestic harmony, good cheer, new social relationships, Fridu/Frith; within a secure setting, the good/bright side of Wodan/Odin.


Outcome: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

Spent considerable time this morning on my Socialist website: http://heartlandsocialistalliance.weebly.com/

Gotta call into Meeka’s Vet in an effort to get some of the pain pills I should have gotten yesterday.

I picked up Meeka’s new pain meds.  There is no way I can afford this long-term.  Thankfully it’s Meeka’s Vet’s way of a process of elimination.  If this works, she’s get the generic form of the same pain meds.

I immediately gave Meeka her new pain medication.  SHE SLEPT  FOR HOURS, and
even snored!  When she woke up…lemme tell ya, I’m hesitant to say this is her wonder drug, but she was pretty much raring to go!

Tee-Pee’s Smoke Shop; as much as I HATE her smoking, this is a better alternative.  She gets a large bag of loose  tobacco, has her rolling machine, papers and rolls her own.  This $30 purchase will last her quite a long while.  It’s much better than paying $30 a week.

I took time to carve the Armanen Runes onto their staves.  It was a ROUSING SUCCESS!  I think there is JOY in the camp!

I finally got around to covering that exposed heat vent
that allowing cold air into the kitchen.


Speaking of kitchen, Audie is making some SCRUMPTIOUS peanut butter sandies
cookies!

A very abbreviated test-walk for Meeka.  She didn’t do badly at all. 

LOTS of work on my Socialist website http://heartlandsocialistalliance.weebly.com/ prior to the games.

It’s gonna be a great soccer night!

PM Prayer: Eger und Rahana/Aegir and Ran:
Eger und Rahana/Aegir and Ran, keeper 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 and our inspiration to strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. We honor the Aegir and Ran that resides in us. 
HAIL AEGIR and RAN/EGER UND RHANA!!
