AM Prayer:  Friday, we pray to the glorious siblings, Walburga Frouwa/Freyja and Ing Fro/Freyr, and lighting a gold candle (for Freyja’s tears
and Freyr’s golden boar, Gullinbursti).
Walburga Frouwa/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. HAIL WALBURGA FROUWA/FREYJA!!

Ing Fro/Freyr, you are 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, Ing
Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that
make our lives fruitful. ING FRO/FREYR, HAIL!!

Yep, 60-day lay off notices went out this evening.  Details to follow.  Work went well nonetheless!

 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 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, so that through the

us grow from strength, and teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who appose our will. HAIL DONAR/THOR!!

AM Rune:  Gebo (irreversible): The mystical union of gift and
giver, repay gift for gift, a fair exchange between people or gods and the Luck
that accompanies it; freely exchanged, contracts, relationships, sometimes
sexual, sacrifice, and hospitality, do not take more than we are wiling to give,
the voluntary sacrifice of resources.

 Outcome:  I woke up to Audie and her best friend on the porch with her best
friend obviously in an emotional state.  She has been going thru relationship
issues for a while and it seems like something is up.  It’s good she feels she’s
welcomed over here and has 24hr access.  Audie and her took off for personal
time together.

 Picked up Meeka’s hormone Rx from the Veterinarian and paid off my bill with
them.

 I spent the rest of the morning and into the afternoon getting the Vé ready for Walpurgisnacht.

 Well, today couldn’t been any worse at work.  We were given to sets of bad
news: 1. Sunday is now mandatory, too. 2. The first round of 60-day lay-off
notices come out tomorrow.  So at the same time they are going to work us to
death they are also telling us our jobs are surely coming to an end.  I got hit
in the first round of lay-offs in 2009; there’s no reason to think this is going
to be any different.   I’m still low man on the totem-pole.  Early in 2009 there
was a considerable hiring effort but I haven’t seen any of those folks, which
keeps me at the bottom of the seniority list.  Mixed emotions; sure I knew this
was inevitable but the reality of it still sucks.  OMGs, the rest of the evening
was spent in such a dark mood.  It was pervasive throughout our shop as well as
others.  No one gives a shit anymore.  I am so willing to sacrifice my
relationship with this fucking company; even though I have no idea what’s going
to come next.

PM Prayer:  Scata/Skahdi:
Scata/Skahdi, 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. Brand my soul with wind-burn, so that even in the tedium of daily life, I will feel your warm breath, warm on my check, telling me to be strong, able and worthy of you. SCATA/SKAHDI, HAIL!!

Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN/ODIN!! We
call out to you, not as a slave or on bended knee, but on our feet and opened-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! If we live well, Wodan/Odin, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with those who have gone before us until the time comes to live or fight once more. WODAN/ODIN, HAIL!!!

 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. May we nurture
life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give
honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us
as well. FRIJA/FRIGGA, HAIL!!

AM Rune:  Dagaz (irreversible): Light of day, total enlightenment, awakening, the AH-HA moment, achieving balance, harmony, positive focus on life, light at the end of the tunnel, increase, growth, an ending prior a beginning, transformation,  possibly related to the 3rd
eye (the place where the two lobes of the brain join).


 Outcome:  It seems to be a better start to the day…

 I hope this portends well for an awakening of those at work about the
legitimacy of Walpurgisnacht.

 Combination dynamic tension/weight-bearing workout

 LJS for lunch http://www.longjohnsilvers.com/ 

I’ve emailed the super twice about the goings-on concerning Walpurgisnacht. 
I hope it’s sufficient.  I’ll know by the time work comes around, I guess.

 Methinks a good compromise was reached at work and I didn’t even need the
Union to help me with it.  Here’s the situation:  The company wanted to make me
mandatory for Saturday night but I didn’t want to work Saturday night because of
Walpurgisnacht.  Here’s the compromise: Rather than work Saturday night I’ll
work a six-hour shift (rather than 8-hours) on Saturday morning from 7-1:30. 
This means I’ll get off from work Friday at midnight, get maybe 5-hours of sleep
then back at it by 7AM Saturday; which leaves me some time for a nap if
necessary just prior to RHK’s Walpurgisnacht celebration.  I think I achieved
some real harmony and balance on this.  I didn’t get everything I wanted and the company didn’t get everything they wanted.

 PM Prayer:  Paltar/Baldr
Blameless Paltar/Baldr, shining god, let
your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days
here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to
avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by you, we will keep our reputations
spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and out leaving
this life a tragedy. PALTAR/BALDR HAIL!

AM Prayer:  Tuesday, we pray to Ziu/Tyr and lighting a purple candle (for
honor):
Ziu/Tyr, you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds.
We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic.  Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, we may we share in your glory by imitating you. ZIU/TYR HAIL!!

AM Rune:  Jera (irreversible): Harvest, 12th
Rune of the Futhark, the number 12, cycles, a turning point, cause and effect, the Rune of return, two halves of a cyclic whole,
harmony-in-movement-in-balance, improvement, expansion, growth, progress, patience, the result of a previous action, reward for the right (or wrong) action.

 Outcome:  The day has absolutely sucked.  The clouds are as gray and overcast
as my mood.  Hopefully work will be a haven of good news as I face the company
about my need to have off this Saturday for Walpurgisnacht instead of being
required to work.

 Jeez, I don’t need THIS kind of harvest!

 Work was a welcomed distraction from home.

 At work I’m halfway there to getting off for Walpurgisnacht.  My super as
well as the plant manager was given info about the holiday.  It seems that the
plant manager knows of Walpurgisnacht, and my super used the word “blot” which
told me he’s been doing some reading (and I let him know my approval). Anyway,
now I have to submit some form of itinerary for Walpurgisnacht to the plant
manger, which I will provide tomorrow.

 I shall harvest thins as long as I need to harvest it; no matter what it
takes!

 I’m stressing out over an Audie that always seems sick in some form or
another.

 Over the two years Audie and I have been together I’ve often hoped that she
would make some kind of improvement, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. 
I haven’t worked this hard for a bad harvest.

PM Prayer:  All you gods and goddesses bless and
keep your Holy Folk. From the cold shadows of the glaciers to the colder shadows
of space, always, we have been your people. Guide and guard your North folk as
you did in ages past. Wodan/Odin, give wisdom and craft to wits shaped by ice
and fire that our foes be foxed. Donar/Thor, give us strength and the will to
use it. Ing Fro/Freyr and Frouwa/Freyja, give full wombs so that bodies will be
found for the souls of heroes. Let your Northern Folk grow in number and in
power, so that our kind may live, love, survive and thrive, not just today, not
for a millennium, but for ever and ever!

Work was horrible!  Our presence was made mandatory for Saturday…FUCK…and we
have Walpurgisnacht plans for that day!  THE FUCKERS!  There is still a chance,
a wee chance that I may be able to make some kind of arrangements; that is, w/o
the help of that spineless, ball-less mother fucker of a union.  There has been
no offer from them to help me out in this.

 Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune:  Two Runes

Uruz (U): The Auroch beast, the primal instinct, survival, an impulse towards action, creation taking shape, expansion, tenacity, vital strength, instinct of survival, taking risks, stick-to-itiveness, foundation, a stabilizing effect, moral strength, healing, rejuvenation, good health and energy, primal drizzle.


And

Ansuz (U): In favor of the gods, Wodan/Odin specifically, Wodan/Odinic
wisdom, the Athem - Divine/vital breath, the force of creation, a higher source of inspiration, communication skills and divine ancestry, higher consciousness, mental stability, self discipline, Wodan in his most favorable aspect.


Outcome:  Excellent!

 Ahhhhhh…still bathing in the afterglow of RHK’s trip to Lindsborg yesterday. 
Yes, because of it I/We are stronger and more favorable with our gods!

 Started mowing yard; we’ll see how far I get

 Sat down and lazed out…

 …BUT…back at it soon enough…got ‘er done!

 Once again I’ve been approached about a Rune reading to which I waited until
the daily Rune was favorable.  If this morning’s Rune reading isn’t gear toward
a reading for someone else I don’t what will.

============================================

Using the Solar Cross spread
 Center Rune that indicates the individual or the situation:

 Wunjo (R): Sadness, disruption in the Clanic relationship, questionable
social contacts, loser, miserable, loneliness, shunning, weakened family ties, social and domestic disharmony, the inability to attain a wish, strife,
alienation, failed social relationships, Fridu/Frith is challenged, the shadow side of Wodan/Odin.

Rune in the west, indicative of the Norn Urd, goddess of that which was:

 Raido (U): Wheel, horse transportation, riding, ordered/rhythmic movement, a journey, wise counsel, the law of the cosmic right, freedom and moral responsibility of the Self, ordered change, ethical conduct, personal discipline, to be in charge of one’s own journey in life, the proper course of faring, progress.

Rune in the south, indicative of Verdandi, goddess of that which is:

 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.

Rune in the east, indicative of Skuld, goddess of that which may be

 Naudiz (Irreversible): The Rune of Need (whether physical, emotional,
spiritual), a Norn Rune, force friction, a stress indicator, opportunity for
change, urgency, a generating force for the greater good, friction,
transformation, resistance leading to strength, an evolutionary change toward a more holistic state, Fate

Rune in the north, indicative of the ancestors and the culmination of it
all:

 Jera (irreversible): Harvest, 12th Rune of
the Futhark, the number 12, cycles, a turning point, cause and effect, the Rune of return, two halves of a cyclic whole, harmony-in-movement-in-balance, improvement, expansion, growth, progress, patience, the result of a previous action, reward for the right (or wrong) action.


My thoughts:
 The amazing thing about this is just prior to this Rune reading this person
wrote down the word “sad”.  I also know this person has a real disconnection
with family.  So Wunjo ( R ) was right on.

 This person also moved around quite a bit in his/her youth.  Nonetheless, her
past was driven to be exactly as it was meant to be.  Raido was right on!

 This person exudes a tremendous amount of confidence when he/she can.  There
is a tremendous possibility of leadership if all goes well.  Sowulo was right
on!

 Naudiz here is always interesting.  This indicates a certain stress level,
but it is stress that leads to a better person.  So there is some work to be
done.  Naudiz is right on!

 Which leads directly into the Jera Rune in the North.  With work to be done
there will be a direct proportion to what is put in.  That work and the result
is completely up to this individual.  Jera is right on!

 Thus ends this reading
======================================================
Made some long overdue phone calls…

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. HAIL ERA/EIR!!

Saeter, we pray to Sibba/Sif, lighting a green candle (for fertility):

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. HAIL SIBBA/SIF!!

Outcome:  This is an EXCELLENT Rune as RHK plans to go to Lindsborg.

 OMGs!  We had a blast in Lindsborg!  I’d say this Rune is right-on!  Pics
have been loaded onto Facebook and will eventually make it onto the website.

 Audie gave out early on the trip.  She couldn’t stay awake.

 Home and tired…

 Short afternoon due to an earlier work day so the Christians can deal with
their Jesus getting the shit kicked out of him.  Good Friday?  For whom?  Oh,
don’t get me wrong, I understand the concept, it’s the process and reasoning of
it all that just does not appeal to me any more.

 ROFLMFnAO…I guess this IS Jesus’ Hagalaz day…LOL

 Work went as work does…

This black Christian @ work went on a tangent...again  Yeah,
I guess it is their time of the year so they’re feeling their oats (but w/o
their myth story of the resurrection their whole religion is void).  I wonder
why she does this periodically.  She knows there is nothing she can say that is
going to effect me in any way.  It’s getting irritating.  When she’s not like
this she’s a rather nice lady; but then there are times like this when…

Eger und Rahana/Aegir

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. HAIL AEGIR and RAN/EGER UND

 Outcome:  The court appearance didn’t go well at all.  The battle was ill
prepared against a professional; kind of like bringing a knife to a gunfight.  I
just felt so badly for my Kindred members…I won’t go into it any further than
that.

 Came home to my own financial dilemma.  There was some miscommunication
between my tax preparer and me.  The State immediately accessed my account and
overdrew it.  If I had understood it would be immediate I would have transferred
some more dollars from the liquid account to the checking account; but no, I
just didn’t understand the immediacy of the access.  ARGH!

 I feel like I’ve had the shit kicked out of me…

 I just didn’t have the heart to deny Audie her hair appt.

 Work was a welcomed distraction from today’s dilemmas.  Work went
fine.

PM Prayer:  Nirdu/Njord:
Nirdu/Njord, god of harbors and seas close to land, Father of the Vanir; Freyr and Freyja, help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the
wonderful universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with
fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities
that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s
gifts. HAIL NIRDU/NJORD!!
