AM Prayer: Thursday/Donarstac, we pray to Donar, lighting a red candle:
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, let us advance. When we would be weak, help us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, sharpen our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Help
us grow from strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

I wrote a new prayer to Saga early this morning:

Saga
You’re the goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past.  Whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FEL HAIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

AM Prayer: Wednesday/Wodanstac, we pray to Wodan, lighting a blue candle:
All-Father 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 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! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with our heroes and our ancestors until the time comes to live or fight once more. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

I’ve been negotiating for a dog I found on Craig’s List http://wichita.craigslist.org/ and IMnotsohumbleO negotiations aren’t going well.
*Me: (asked for a pic via email; pic sent) Like! Could we arrange a meet?
*Dog owner: Absolutely. When is a good time for you?
*Me: Tomorrow afternoon sometime? I just got off the phone with my vet. Would you let me take her in to see him?
*Dog owner: She had a checkup in Feb. I might be able to do that, if I can go with you
*Me: Of course. Tomorrow afternoon then?
*Dog owner: Where is your vet located at?
*Me: My vet is Richard Bartel @ Air Capital Veterinary, 429 S Hydraulic Suite #2.
*Dog owner: no immediate response
*Me: So, did you want to meet me at my Vet's office or did you want me to pick you up and we go together?  If you want to go together I'll need your address, please.
*Dog owner: After you see her vet records you will see she has been well taken care of by the previous owners. Tell ya what. Since I'm gonna be working at Oaklawn today, I have to sell her pretty quick, I will take $20, for her
*Me: I would still want my vet to look at her, please.
Now it’s going on pretty late in the afternoon and no response; not much time to pick up the dog and run her into Air Cap Vet for Richard to look at her.  I’m not TOTALLY suspicious because of her (supposedly) working in the tornado damaged area, but I am NOT going to agree to take this dog 1. Without previewing it and 2. Without Richard taking a look at her.

Went to visit my ill niece.  I couldn’t stay long because their smoking was getting to me.

Liquor run for Audie…fingers crossed.

Well, that didn’t work out very well, now did it?

PM Prayer: The Wurtâ:
The Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.

That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” will form now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, will be, but we cannot yet

FINALLY got back in touch with a very sick niece.  I’ll go see her tomorrow.

This has been a very strange day.

I have my eye on a Dalmatian mix pup off Craig’s List.  The owner and I have been in touch and my veterinary is more than happy to check out the pup before I take ownership.

Good job, Pyewacket!  She’s killed two mice in two day; one inside one outside.  I love the preemptive strikes the best.  Ya know though, even when she kills them inside, I never see them before she kills them.  She kills them before they have a chance to become a problem in the house.  Good kitty!

AM Rune: Yr:  Woman, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, roots of Ygg from which all life springs.


Outcome: So, the physical me is challenged and my Spirit is well grounded…got it.

After last night’s storms and being a late night, a good slow morning IS in order.

I was challenged on Facebook because of a Rune on a picture.  Mind you I did not create the picture as I simply downloaded it.  Some guy challenged the Rune Kenaz atop a picture with Forsizo.  The conversation that ensued challenged me spiritually and forced an online study.  The basis for his argument an undisclosed Rune poem.  I know there are several versions of Rune poems.  The one he was using was not clear, hence, my search. 

My collective understanding of Kenaz (could be Cen, Kaun, or Ka):

Kenaz (U): The torch, light, shaping, fabrication or fashioning of primordial material, the hearth fire, brightly burning, knowledge, divine inspiration under control of human craft, knowledge from within, intuition, Self-awareness, creativity and transformation, clarity of thought, the application of the Divine.

Kenaz (R): A dimly burning torch, choosing to remain in the dark, a lack of Divine wisdom, lack of creativity, a self-imposed cocoon, the inability to shape the basics of life, pig ignorance, arrogance, uniformed, ambiguous thought processes, negative/dark influences, cruel sexuality, uncontrollable human craft processes.

My findings:
From the Old Norse Rune Poem
Kaun
Ulcer is fatal to children;
death makes a corpse pale.

From the Icelandic Rune Poem
Kaun - Ulcer
Disease fatal to children
and painful spot
and abode of mortification.

From the Anglo Saxon Rune Poem
Cen
The torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame;
it always burns where princes sit within.

From the 6th strophe of Wodan’s Rune Song, attributed to "Ka" in the Armanen Runes
Ka
A sixth I know: when some thane would harm me
in runes on a moist tree's root,
on his head alone shall light the ills
of the curse that he called upon mine

There is even something called The Abecedarium Nordmannicum (aka the Old Swiss Rune Poem) but little credence is given to it:
http://www.odinist.com/othala/showthread.php?358-The-Abecedarium-Nordmannicum-(aka-the-Old-Swiss-Rune-Poem)

I’m just wondering if this study will prompt a revision of my Runic understanding…yep, to a degree it did.

I know Audie doesn’t understand why I get on these…oh…I don’t know what you’d call it.  I am overcome with a type of quest; I HAVE to understand as much as I can about…whatever.  When my knowledge was inadvertently challenged, I had to understand where this guy’s argument was coming from.  Once I understood, I was better, yes; at the same time, I had to make some mental and physical notes.  She has been so good about my added time on the computer as I tend to my personal quests; even though I know it frustrates her.

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 us all!

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 MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!

So far we’ve dodged the weather bullet.  North Central/Northeastern Oklahoma, Eastern Kansas and most all of Missouri got hit, though.  Serious storms are still likely here sometime today. 

Man, I can REALLY feel the effects of the light-weight, high-rep, weight-bearing workout.  It’s not too much and not too little.  I can feel things beginning to tighten up.  I think the most amazing thing is the affect I feel from the core workout.  I have to be very careful the pressure I place on my abdomen because of two umbilical hernia surgeries. Sit-ups of any kind are out.  So, what I do is a standing elbow-to-knee, one-two-three ONE, one-two-three TWO, etc…and it seems to be working.  EVERYTHING seems to be
working!

Pyewacket has never been in the Haruc/Hof since she and Audie have been here.  For some reason, she was adamant about going in as I was going out this morning.  I let her go in but I made sure to be in there with her.  She checked out everything for a while, even jumping up on the tables to see.  She didn’t want to leave; protested, but I was not going to take the chance of forgetting she was in there, so I picked her up when I left.  I have forgotten too many times that Socks was in the Haruc and he has spent the night trapped.  I don’t leave any animal alone in the Haruc any more.

to the fore and I found the spider in the upper corner of the shower.  IMnotsohumbleO, things can be magical but magic can only personal; there is no magic that effects a situation or one‘s surroundings.  Magic is only within, not without.  “Magical” is a descriptive word.  This was indeed a magical experience.  I quickly email my best Facebook friend because I know she has some knowledge about animal totems.  Here is the link she gave me: http://www.linsdomain.com/totems-s.htm
“Spider: Creativity and Weaver of Fate
A spider totem teaches you balance --between past and future, physical and spirit, male and female. She is strength and gentleness combined. She awakens creative sensibilities and reminds you that the past is always interwoven with the future. Tarantulas (and all spiders) are the keepers of the primordial alphabet and can teach you how to write
creatively. Her body is shaped like the number 8 and she has 8 legs, which is symbol of infinite possibilities of creation. Her 8 legs represent the 4 winds of change and the four directions of the medicine wheel. Spider's message is that you are an infinite being who will continue to weave patterns of life and living throughout time. Do not fail to see the eternal plan of creation. Those who weave magic with the written word usually have this totem.”

Then I just got curious and started looking:

Hmmmmmmmmmm…there's a certain amount of similarity...

Audie to pedicure…I REALLY don’t understand it…

Light-weight, high-rep workout; I’m very satisfied with my weekly workout routine. 

My TAA rep returned my call.  My purpose for calling her in the first place was to assure myself I had no more assessments to do at the Kansas Career Pipeline website http://www.kansascareerpipeline.org/ per her request.   She said everything look good; and that I have actually taken it twice!  WOW!  Anyway, she printed off the results to prepare for my visit Monday.  I also asked her about the six-week CDL class she
mentioned to me.  She seemed excited I was agreeing to it; perhaps so.

We have some pretty shitty Wx heading this way.  We’ll see what kind of mowing I can get done before dark.

Finished the yard; nothing fancy, just a good mowing.

WOW!  There’s a storm really is moving in…

Now WTF????

PM Prayer: Nirdu:
Nirdu, brother to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Fro and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

When we would be weak, help us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, sharpen our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Help us grow from strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will.

Outcome: Yessssssssssssssssssssssss…


Created yet another banner for Rheinwood’s consideration.  I have this three-panel banner thing down in the pant program!


I barely got started laying some new (to me) stone in the walkway between the house the Haruc/Hof.  Donar interrupted with other ideas.  That’s okay, I’ll pick it up later.

WOW!  Donar is REALLY rumbling!

While Audie was visiting inside with a neighbor, I was out in the Haruc/Hof experimenting with the idea of hanging banners.  Yep, 2x3 is about all it can handle.

Paid bills

McDs for lunch

The meeting for Caucus assisting went well.  Come to find out I know the guy who’s spearheading the one at which I’m assisting; well, I know OF him.  He was the attorney present at the Death Penalty meeting I attended some time back.

Audie to Momma’s

Home alone…and that’s okay!

I think Rheinwood is close to finalizing a banner.

PM Prayer: Ostara:
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.

Outcome: Body and spirit working in sync!

First thing this morning I once again started working on the Rheinwood Nordliut website; continuously finding was to more adequately reflect the Irminenschaft way of seeing things.  I am using Hjuka’s book like there is no tomorrow!  Perhaps it’s good I don’t have an outside job.  I’m making THIS my job...for now!

2 mile walk

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I am totally obsessed about doing this Irminenschaft thing correctly.  I even renamed pics of Norse gods and goddesses on my computer to reflect the Irminenschaft.  Perhaps I just know myself all to well.  When I take on something like this I have to have everything streamlined or I have the tendency to become confused.  I don’t want that to happen.

A few football matches on ESPN3.conm while Audie visits w/ the neighbor
Eredivisie (the Dutch league)
AZ Alkmaar 2:2 Twente Enscheda (GREAT match)(Jozey Altidore in the Dutch
league?)
English Premiere League (picture in picture)
Manchester City 4:0 West Bromwich


Wolverhampton 0:3 Arsenal

Damn, now I don’t feel like doing a thing…

Audie to Momma’s for the evening

Home alone…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Audie sure came home in a mood; at least it seems like it.  WTF?  We don’t talk…

I am SO done…

PM Prayer: Wuldar
Wuldar, glory-god, hunting-god, ski-god, dueling-god; Son of Sibba, step-son of Donar, you glide through the snow-clad
