AM Armanen Rune: Tyr: 
Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

Excitation, mysteries revealed, sacrifice, rebirth of the Sun god, fertility
and/or destruction, generation, power, success, wisdom, duties fulfilled, art of
concealment and hiding, rebirth into the light - life of the soul, the power to
make situations turn completely around, wisdom, spiritual understanding, the
power of regeneration, warrior strength, justice, balance, personal sacrifice of
the father, resurrection/reincarnation/born again; “Do not fear anything, even
dying cannot kill you.  Better to die than to be dead alive” (Gorsleben).

Interpretation: Strength (Uruz) leading to success (Tyr).

Outcome: Work itself went fine.  The clocking procedures were another thing.  
 
    Yesterday, I had a problem clocking onto a job order as it said my operation
was already done.  I noticed this order was separated into three different
orders.  I went ahead and okayed my work on the operation, which, evidently I
was not supposed to do.  Someone from the office came out, this is still
yesterday, and started grabbing up the paperwork for the three orders.  She then
got them mixed up when she gave them back, and started reading me the riot act
for clocking onto that job which was already done, but evidently, it was NOT
done because it was sitting at my bench.  The lead person tried to explain to
her the super needed to open it back up, but the office person just didn’t
understand that.  I took my work order to the super to have him open it back up. 
He brought the work order back out saying it was fixed, but it wasn’t.      
     Fast forward to today.  I go to clock on the same work order, as I didn’t
have it finished, but go the same message saying that the operation was
complete.  I took the work order back up to the super.  I stood right there as
he fixed it.  I tried to clock on it, it still didn’t work.  I flagged down the
super.  He told me to go ahead and work on it, he’ll fix it later.  After lunch,
I try to find him only to be told he was not there this afternoon and neither
was the head super.  So I was now shit out of luck.  
    A colleague from the shop took it to yet a third someone who claimed to have
fixed it.  I tried to clock onto it and it was NOT fixed as I still go the same
message. The work order was taken back and I was told to go ahead and clock on
it as they are now aware of the problem.
    So, I clocked on to it in the same manner that raised eyebrows in the first
place.  JsMrFnChst!

I attempted to take Toby on a full one mile walk.  Not even halfway thru  he decides he wanted to chase a cat.  I CALLED for him and CALLED for him, not wanting to violate someone’s property.  HE finally slowly came out.  I WAS LIVID!  I placed him on his leash and canceled the walk but for going home.

Essie on her tether while I raked the front yard this side of the sidewalk. 
The leaves made for a nice bit of mulch over the garden area.

Wx is saying we’re going to have another wintry blast this weekend.

2 2/3 loads of laundry.

Checked on Socks; he can be SO loveable.

Baked Beer Brats, from recipe, with potatoes O’Brien  and green

I really love Socks.

Man, this house STILL smells delicious after making that Bratwurst.

BOOM!  BOOM!  Out go the lights!

Then to me her wishes turn.

Interpretation: Evolutionary change (Naudiz) that leads to being well
grounded (Yr).

Outcome: I’m going to open up the crawlspace again for Orange and White Kitty
because it’s going to turn cold for several days.

On the way to work I was quite taken by the waning sliver of a moon very low
in the eastern sky.  It had turned golden as the sun was soon to rise right on
his tail.

Good AM work.

Good home for lunch.

PM work was good until our weekly meeting.  Both myself and another temp were
passed over in favor of a guy who was hired temp right after me.  I guess that’s
the dilemma of a non-union shop.  After I mildly voiced my concern after the meeting, there was quiet conversation between two of the “new hires”.
*Naudiz and Yr right here.

I’ve decided to encourage Orange and White Kitty to stay; that is, whenever
he decided to come out from wherever he is.

Got my first face-to-face loving from Orange and White Kitty!  Once I name
him, he’s family.

PM Prayer: Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart,  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 Ensiwëg, 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 homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

When I saw Orange and White Kitty on the porch I quickly went to the back
yard to cover up the access way that has been opened up at the bottom of the

just have to find another place to stay.

JL and I had an EXCELLENT time at the Crown Uptown Dinner Theater http://www.crownuptown.com/ with the stage production of Godspell http://www.crownuptown.com/shows/.  Everything about it was absolutely impressive.  We had the best seats; front row tier 2.  The production was totally electric!  It had the
familiar music mixed with modern adaptations.  Yeah, it was the christian story,
but good food, good theater, stellar actors…it was a WOW!  During the
intermission I THOUGHT I saw one of Rheinwood’s youth, so I just watched for a
while and saw a second Rheinwood youth, which demanded a visit.  We were all
surprised to see each other.  They were there with a school group.  I introduced
them to JL. Afterwards, kind of out of seriousness, kind of funning, I
encouraged them not to be taken in by an emotional story.  Overall, it was an
EXCELLENT evening.  LOL, I stayed up WAY past my bedtime.

AM Armanen Rune: Rit: 
Havamal 149.
That I know as the fifth, should an enemy’s
Arrow come flying into the throng;
As bright as it might clash, I stem it’s power
Once I firmly fix my eye on it.

That which is passing, council, right, wheel, movement, rhythm, law, correctness, judgment, victory over the lower ego, holding, right order, the judge, advice, salvation, money, original law, that which flows away, religious feeling, ritual action/primal laws, orderliness in the world, the ritual, primal law, things that are done correctly, spiritual
feeling, ritual action, journey, Divine law, All justice, Rune of the cosmic rhythm of the worlds, wheels, personal empowerment.

Interpretation: Double standards (Teiwaz) leading to that which flows away (Rit).

Outcome: Here is a prime example of wisdom behind the varying layers of
kenning/understanding when it comes to the Runes.  I KNOW I’ve not been nor have
done anything dishonorable that might be indicated in Teiwaz (R).  So then it
becomes necessary to look at other aspects within the same Rune to determine
what other message might be there.  Aren’t the Runes grand?
*When it comes to any concept of reversed Rune with the Armanen Runes I have
yet to adequately determine that. In several cases, if an Armanen Rune comes up
reversed it actually represents another Rune.  SO, is the meaning of Rune
reversed, or is the meaning that of the now represented Rune?  I’ve seen ONE
SOURCE saying an Armanen Rune on it’s side is a reversed/negative Rune.  The
Runic Jury is still out on that one.

Socks out and Socks back into the Cat House.

Good AM work

Quick lunch and everybody cooperated.

Good PM work

Great Wall http://www.greatwallseneca.com/ for dinner; gods, haven’t had that in a LONG time.

Helped brother get his guardian-granddaughter’s birthday present home.  His car was too small to retrieve a bike but my SUV served well!

 Family front yard time. Toby took it upon himself to chase Orange and White
Kitty.  I just called him back and let it go.  He did it a second time that got him a verbal
berating.  After the THIRD time, out of frustration, I just grabbed his ears and
he flipped over on his back in surrender…ARGH!

It’s official, the green chair hates me.

PM Prayer: Ostara, trustworthy goddess; keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!

Plans: work 10hrs

AM Prayer: Donarstac/Thursday, we pray to Donar:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance.
When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s
pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our
growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own
Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Ar: 
Havamal 153.
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
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.

Confidence, Ing-Fro, comfort, the Sun, the path to the Light, will,
leadership, all that which is beautiful and Sun-like, change to good, virtues,
honor, glory, rewarding work, completion, light, Divine spirit, power contained
in light that washes away darkness, wisdom, beauty, virtue, trust, honor, fame,
Rune of the initiate, Symbolism of the Lord of the Light-elves that returns home
from darkness, Rune of peace and good seasons.

Interpretation: leadership (Sowulo) via Ing-Fro (Ar)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outcome: It’s 60F/16C outside.  One day, soon, Toby will have to start
spending all day outside while I’m at work.  That will save me gas and worry
while at work.

Good AM work

Home for lunch to check on animals.  Toby outside.  It’s so nice when Socks
responds out of nowhere when I call his name.  No falsetto “here kitty, kitty,
kitty” for him.  It’s “”Socks!  Come home!  Socks!”  Inside then Essie and he
comes up onto the porch..  That’s a good boy, Socks.

Challenging PM work with some very intricately machined parts.  First part
was approved first try!  I’m getting pretty good at this.

Why is it when a cat’s litter box is freshly cleaned and fresh litter added
does a  kitty immediately has to use it?  Both Essie and Socks do
this.

I’m fascinated by string theory/quantum physics, though I may never understand it.  What fascinates me is how it could explain or validate eternity.

Nice way to spend an evening, eh?

It seems the green chair is becoming popular with readers…hehe…I HAVE
READERS!!!!

Nighty-night.

PM Prayer: Wuldar, glory-god, hunting-god, ski-god, dueling-god; Son of Sibba, step-son of Donar, 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 the prey is formed generation after generation by the culling ferocity of the predator. Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another
guise.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WULDAR, as we honor the Wuldar that
resides in all of us!

AM Prayer: Wodanstac/Wednesday, we pray to Wodan:
All-Father God!  Wandering God!  Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ . WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Eh: 
Havamal 161.
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law
To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.

Unification, sanctity of marriage, the cross of wedlock, fulfillment,
maintaining strict morals within the bonds of marriage, love, duality, bound by
primal law, love, trust and marriage. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership,
permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage
as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal
love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.

Interpretation: Tough love (Berkana) leading to unification (Eh).

Outcome: Good sleep!

Toby cannot resist chasing Orange and White Kitty, even after I’ve told him,
“NO!”  He WILL cease and desist or he will pay a good price.  Not a great way to
start the day.
*Berkana and Eh right here.

Green…chair…evil…ZZZzzzZZZzzz

Good night

PM Prayer: Scata, Winter goddess, 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,
show me 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 ferocity in our lives.  Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
