AM Prayer: Ziustac/Tuesday, we pray to Ziu, lighting a purple candle (for honor):
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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 our 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, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Os:  Freedom, Wodanic energies, leadership, kingship, speech, talk, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice. It also signifies the strength that a person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.

A fourth I know: if men make fast
in chains the joints of my limbs,
when I sing that song which shall set me free,
spring the fetters from hands and feet.

Outcome: Yeah, once I get this dastardly deed done my Spirit will be free.

Toby for his very enthusiastic, yet obedient, ,7 mile walk with energy to spare.

The deed is done…signed…

Obligatory job search…

Errands so Audrey can get her “beauty” supplies

Took recyclables in http://recyclewichita.org/

Euro Cup 2012 on ESPN television and ESPN3.com; final match in Group Stage.
England 1:0 Ukraine (England advance and win group)
France 0:2 Sweden (France advance on the better record of 3 games and
advances)
http://espnfc.com/us/en

So that finishes Group Stage for the Euro Cup 2012.  The knockout rounds begin in a couple of days; that is, one game, win or go home.  The top two teams from each group advance:
Group A
Czech Republic and Greece
Group B
Germany and Portugal
Group C
Spain and Italy
Group D
England and France 
If I have this arranged properly, the 1st knockout round (quarterfinals) look thus:
June 21st
Czech Republic v Portugal
Germany v Greece
June 23rd
Spain v France
England v Italy
The winners of these will advance to the semifinals on the 27th and 28th with the Euro Cup 2012 final to be played on July 1st.  I AM STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worked out in the backyard for a while:
*Cleaned out recyclable containers
*Watered baby trees and Topsy-Turvy tomato plants
*Started the process of moving the woodpile to the west; making more room for the game area.  I’m hoping to have it all moved before Midsummer here.

Okay, I’m gonna have to pick up this weight-bearing workout tomorrow.  Once the heat kicks in, even in an air-conditioned house, my interest in anything physical wanes. 

Audrey is the one taking care of Essie.  She does a good job.

PM Prayer: Eger und Râhana:
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 and our inspiration to strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, EGER UND RÂHANA, as we honor the Eger und Râhana that resides in us all!

BCE or CE)


NOTE:  I took Toby out early for his .7 mile walk.  It was a very emotional .7 miles.  First, I get to the point where I feel I can trust Toby and I let down my guard a bit.  He’s quick to let me know I shouldn’t do that.  Not really paying attention, I look up to see Toby halfway across McCormick street heading for another animal on the other side.  One quick, stern call and he came back well enough.  Thankfully McCormick street isn’t that well traveled. 
Second, Toby encountered a black, scruffy kitten.  My heart just melted.  It sincerely looked like no one has given it any kind of love  in its little life.  I’m reminded of my karmic debt from accidentally running over a kitty out by my brother’s house; which, out of shame I have purposely neglected to mention.  So I took Toby home and came back to the kitten with a couple clumps of Pyewacket’s cat food.  I continue on with my 2-mile walk, wondering (kind of hoping) if this scruffy kitten would have moved on.  Such was not the case.  It was still where I left it. I simply had to take it home with me.  What else was I supposed to do?  What else could I have done?

AM Prayer: Manostac/Monday, we pray to Mano, male aspect and god of the moon, lighting a white candle (symbolic of the moon):
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high.  You’re the measurer and teller of time.  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 let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

A second I know, which the son of men
must sing, who would heal the sick.

Outcome: Yeah…

My Veterinarian was kind enough to see the kitten immediately.  I now know it’s a female.  She has a mouth injury, probably from being hit by a car and will need stitches.  With this injury comes an infection coupled with fever.  My Veterinarian is encouraged because she does eat soft food.  This does seem very repairable.  I paid for the antibiotics and he said he will put the stitches in for free.

GODDAMN!  I almost forgot about my VA appointment.  I was a bit late but they still worked me in.

Not much else.

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.

Note: No leg cramps overnight.  I had to revisit my anti-leg cramp methods of months ago; reminding myself to keep socks on, legs covered by pajama-bottoms and reduce leg restriction by sleeping without covers; it worked.  I’m hoping this continues.

A fourteenth I know: if I needs must number
the Powers to the people of men,
I know all the nature of gods and of elves
which none can know untaught.

Outcome: I see that…

Toby for his VERY enthusiastic .7 mile walk.  He was so funny.  At the first intersection close to the house he waited like he knows to do.  However, when he heard ”ready…go” he energetically started crossing caddywompas instead of directly across to the other side.  I called him back to attention and he LITERALLY did a full circle, going back thru the intersections,  to come back to me on the side of the intersection where he started.  I laughed so fucking hard it was ridiculous!  The entire walk was a hoot!  Toby runs ahead, sniffs, I catch up, pass Toby, Toby comes running, etc.  Towards the end of the walk
Toby’s tongue was just-a-dragging!  He/We had so much fun this morning.

(Brachmond = Fallow month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: Euro Cup

NOTE: Donar rumbles: RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTE2: At-the-crack-of-fucking-dawn I’m reading the editorial page of the paper
http://www.kansas.com/ and choose to respond:

“Once again we’re having this ridiculous conversation about whether or not to accept a creation myth taught alongside of a scientific theory.  I stand with those who reject such a notion.  Rather, allow me to suggest a different scenario: have an entire class devoted to the exploration of various creation myths of the world.

We’re all familiar with the Genesis myth: out of darkness and water creation began by being spoken into existence.  All else is formed from there.

According to the Wichita tribal Chief, Towakoni Jim, “In the beginning there were neither sun, nor stars, nor anything else that we know today. For a long time, the only man was Man-never-known-on-Earth. He created everything.”

In Greek mythology, their creation myth begins, like so many others, with a gaping emptiness, Chaos. Within this there emerges Gaea, the earth.  All else is formed from there.

In Norse mythology, alternative energies of fire and ice converge in the great void of potential.  All else is formed form there.

Many cultures from around the world endeavor to explain their beginnings; mostly it favors those who are doing the telling.  An in-depthcompare/contrast of creation myths from around the world would benefit all.”

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

Ing-Frô, you’re the Great 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-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!

Sibba, Great Goddess of Fertility and Family, wife of Donar, 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, 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!

Audie mentioned me to that I have “changed”.  She said she’s noticed me doing more nice things.  I admitted to an emotional detachment; borderline apathetic, and my “kindness” was in an effort to continue to be a nice guy.  I HOPE I don’t have to CONVINCE her of my generally good nature.  There was a bit more to the conversation, but that was the important part.

AM Prayer: Wodanstac/Wednesday, 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 our Ancestral Halls, where we may feast, drink and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ 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!

influence, stilling effect: self-control: the concentrated self: ego, das Ich
(the unified, whole, principle or force), the composite plurality of Ich, be
still and gain control of the Self (in all its forms): grounding, a lowering of vibration levels, and the loss of momentum.

These songs, Stray-Singer, which man's son knows not,
long shalt thou lack in life,
though thy weal if thou win'st them, thy boon if thou obey'st them
thy good if haply thou gain'st them.

Outcome: Hmmmmm…peculiar…

Toby for a VERY energetic .7 mile walk…
…a quick bowl of cereal…
…me on my 2 mile walk.

It’s such a cool morning all the animals seem rambunctious.

Paid bills; almost all monies are exhausted from the draw account…perhaps one more month.

Euro Cup 2012 Group B http://espnfc.com/us/en

The deed is in the works.

I spent time on the phone with my brother working on algebra problems for his online certification.  The section he and I worked on he got a NINETY-FOUR PERCENT!!!!!!!!

Online time

JsMrFnChst!  On Facebook I have been accused of being anti-European!  Evidently I’m the talk of some neo-Nazi conversation.  Someone was trying to paint me as something I am not.  It was like he was saying I hate whites and support racial reverse discrimination.  He felt like he made his case; however, I feel as though I responded accordingly.  He presented a case of a white couple tortured and killed by a group of blacks; claiming it wasn’t covered by the media .  His source: http://hotair.com/ I proved him wrong and his bias.  All I can do is be amused at stupidity.

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, give wisdom and craft to wits shaped by ice and fire that our foes be foxed. Donar, give us strength and the will to use it. Ing-Fro and Frouwa, 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!

AM Prayer: Ziustac/Tuesday, we pray to Ziu, lighting a purple candle (for honor):
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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 our 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, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

A twelfth I know: if I see in a tree
a corpse from a halter hanging,
such spells I write, and paint in runes,
that the being descends and speaks.

Outcome: POWERFUL!  Ziu’s Rune on Ziu’s Day!

Toby for his rather cool, enthusiastic .7 mile walk.

Weight-bearing workout for me…

My prospective attorney returned my call…BEFORE 08:00.  I have an appointment.  I have to take the lead in this or I may be out of luck; and we all know what is said about “luck” in the 13th Warrior: “Luck will often enough save a man, if his courage holds.

Euro Cup 2012 http://espnfc.com/us/en
Greece 1:2 Czech Republic (Greece eliminated)

Unemployment issues are developing.  I need to remain proactive in this.  I had to download a form from the Internet and had it printed off at a nearby Fed Ex. They reduced their faxing cost a dollar a page for me so I prevented an extra trip downtown and faxed in my form for me right there on the spot!

Haircut

Once again, alone time…

OMGs, I think I may have found another High School flame on Facebook.

PM Prayer: 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-FELT HAIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

AM Prayer: Manostac/Monday, we pray to Mano, male aspect and god of the moon, lighting a white candle (symbolic of the moon):
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high.  You’re the measurer and teller of time.  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 let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

A second I know, which the son of men

Toby for his .5 walk; me for my 2-miles

Obligatory job search

Euro Cup 2012 Group D http://espnfc.com/us/en
England 1:1 France
Sweden 2:1 Ukraine 
More fun interaction with others from around the world watching the same Euro
Cup 2012 match.  The same friends as yesterday (Croatia, Denmark, Poland and
me), plus one from Sweden, and another guy from…I don’t know where; could be
Philippine, could have been south American, could have been middle east, not sure. 
I LOVE THIS SPORT!  I LOVE MY CONTACTS WITH THE WORLD!

Audie’s friend showed up with a payment on the loan I made to her.  A trip to the bank https://www.emprisebank.com/ is in order.

Finalized the wedding message for Friday.

My J’sW buddy paid a surprise visit.  Around the Wîhstat he started spouting his J’sW stuff at me; taking the liberty of telling me about what his Jehovah said about not having any other gods before him...not sure why he thought he could do this...and I vehemently responded with, “I don’t care what your Jehovah has to say”.  At first he looked dumbfounded but he soon got over it…and himself.  He and I go way back; and I
must admit even I was kind of surprised at his reaction.  I remember one of the first conversations he and I had while we both worked at Hawker.  He asked me, “Do you believe the bible is the word of God?”  I simply responded with a resounding “No!”  He goes, “Well, that ended that conversation.”  Honestly, he and I have the greatest respect for each other because we both are so well-grounded in what we believe.

A bit of book and…BOOM-BOOM…OUT GO THE LIGHTS!

PM Prayer: Forsizo:
As the son of Paltar and Nanda, we call out to you in our time of legal need.  You’re the god of justice and reconciliation.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is right, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, meat-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

Toby for a very enthusiastic crack-o-fucking-dawn .7 mile walk.

About ½ of yard done.

As I was finishing trimming the front yard a Jehovah’s Witness approached me
with their material.  I politely refused and told them of my J’sW buddy down the
block.  They knew of him.  HAHAHAHAHAHA…

Euro Cup 2012 http://www.uefa.com/
Spain 1:1 Italy
In between games I got into a great online discussion on the difference between the terms Pagan and Heathen!
Ireland 1:3 Croatia

This was THE MOST FUN!  On my Facebook page about this
game, there was one guy from Denmark, one lady from Croatia, another lady from
Poland, and me…all chatting!  It was a real WOW:  Four people from four
different countries watching the same game at the same time!  Ya just don’t get
this same experience with any American sport.

I went back and worked on the definition of the Wîhstat. That’s always oneheluva project.  I’m hoping for no rain overnight, even though there IS a slight chance, and finish the backyard tomorrow morning.

Audie to Momma’s

Nice online chat with Thea

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 see,
We celebrate the Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
