AM Armanen Rune: two Runes

Kun: 
Havamal 150.
A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with  juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.

 That which is existing, defense, the polarity of the male/female principle in
the Universe, opposing energies, earthly love, as executive power of balancing
justice, art, capability, artist, genius, being favored, procreation, the child,
force, that which is established, World Tree, power, generation, ability and
artfulness, sensuality, higher consciousness, return.


And

Is:  
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.

Course of affairs, Rest, Ego, das Ich, Positivity, activity, personal will,
self-domination, self-control, determination, extension of the Divine center,
the upright human being, influence, personal power, magical power, power to
banish evil, unity in the Universe, duration, action in the Cosmos, activity,
will, self-domination, influence, personal power, self-discipline, unity in the
Universe, duration, magical powers, axis/column/Irminsul of the world, action in
the Cosmos, elimination of that which is unnecessary, calm.

Interpretation: Things are moving (Raido) a higher consciousness (Kun) so be
calm (Is).

Outcome: Picked up first paycheck.  It’s almost $100 less than unemployment.

Immediate trip t the bank.

Visit with my TAA rep is crucial now.  I NEED the further RTAA benefits, but
I found out that those benefits are less than expected (@ 50%).  However, at
this point anything would help.  The extra $4hr would come in handy.  I’m not
being greedy.  I’m needy.  I hope the RTAA benefits come through.  No guarantee
at this point since they’ve been paying my unemployment since January. 

Paid car taxes…OUCH!  At least it continues to go down every year.

TRYING to figure out a new budget and it doesn’t look good unless I can get
RTAA benefits.

OH FUCKING YUM!  Ground turkey cooked with shredded potatoes, onions and

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.

Outcome: Work started out in a bad way.  The tooling vise was out of
alignment and parts were scrapped from the previous shift.  We spent 2 ½ hours
making it right.  After that, on one order of 116 parts all day and still didn’t
get them finished…boring.

Thus ends 80hrs of the required 180hr in the Internship program.  I’ve done

anticipation to see the remarks.  The remarks were supposed to be completed
today but the HR person was gone by 4:30PM.  I hope to pick it up tomorrow.

Fed all animals

One load of laundry

Started feeding me when there was a FUCKING POWER OUTAGE!  GODDAMNIT!  I called the power company from my house phone (not connected to an electrical outlet), was only able to get animated service, and kept hearing 11PM/2300.  I made sure to bring Socks out of the Haruc with Toby and Essie in the front yard.  It lasted a couple of hours.  By then I’ve downed a bit of canned cold-cut meat, plus a tomato and a green pepper from my garden not hungry now.  Thank goodness it didn’t take until 11PM.

Lots to reset

An eighth is mine, to all the Folk
Useful to know in their suffering;
Where hatred rises up between man and man,
This is can settle fast.

Separation, calm, necessity of fate, misery and death, change of luck as
necessity, decision of the Wurtâ , Wurt/Urlag paid-for, cause-effect relations, capability to restructure Wurt/Urlag, That which cannot be averted, the Ur-law that is active in every creature, separation, stress, karmic debt, karmic need, but with outlook for

Interpretation: Sadness (Wunjo) as necessity (Not).

Outcome: First thing this morning I h ad a word with my trainer.  I told him
I can no longer be concerned about making time, and that I needed to take things
slower to make sure I get it.  I don’t think he was too happy (Wunjo), but I

Havamal 155.
This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.

Will, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, blessing from
above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light,
inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force,
wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the
path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray, of inspiration, wisdom, and
illumination.

Outcome: Things have to start smoothing out soon at work.  Today, a couple of
the higher-ups came to my area asking about the notes I was taking for my own
benefit. It seems that were less than happy, but I’m not really sure why.  Other
than that, off and on frustrations throughout the day.  I am concerned.

I get home from work around 5PM/17:00.  Immediately I feed all animals. 
Then, I feed myself.  After that I get online until about 6:30PM/18:30.  That
sure doesn’t leave much time with the furry babies before I go to bed @
9PM/21:00.  Ah, the life of a single parent.

I gave both Essie and Toby another flea treatment because I’m not sure the
first one was placed properly.  For sure this one was.  It seems they may have
clamed down a bit.

A_ called…jeez…

I think I may have realized part of my problem at work.  The guy training me
is pushing me.  I mean, IMO, speed will come in time.  Right now, I need to
perfect things at my own speed.

PM Prayer: Paltar, blameless god, gloriously shining god, restoration god, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  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 our leaving this life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!

Simply put, I was ABSOLUTELY overwhelmed at work today.  Enough said.

A bit of front yard time for Essie and Toby.  Socks just would not come out
of the Haruc.

OH MAN!  I had  one green pepper and two tomatoes straight from the garden. 
They were extremely and juicy!  Juice was dripping off my chin.  LOTS of

Toby was well behaved, but pooped by the end of his .8 mile walk.

Overwhelmed with Meeka thoughts this morning.  I lost Meeka to Kidney failure
on February 8, 2012.  She also had deficient hormone production and was
epileptic.  When I got her she had two kind of worms and was horribly
underweight.  She battled that but other maladies plagued her for the rest of
her life.  I got her from a guy at work who wanted to get rid of her.  She was
nine years old and I think I had her about four of those years.  Still, I cry…

It seems I missed a gathering in the Mountain of Hope.  I remember taking to
one about a possibility, but nothing definite was said.  During one of my phone
calls today, I was told I was missed.  Dumbfounded, I discover they did have a
gathering.  Am I getting senile?  I certainly don’t remember being told a time
to be there or anything.  It seems there might be a weakening (Thurisaz) in
relationship (Eh) with Mt Hope.  It’s time to work harder on it.  I think I have
a plan.

For a few things:
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market
Aldi’s

Okay, so it’s American football pre-season.  I tired, I TRIED to watch it. 
After all, the only team I’d be interested in, the Minnesota Vikings, were
playing against the San Francisco 49ers.  My only question in all this is, HOW
IN THE HEL DO PEOPLE BECOME SO RABID OVER THIS BORING SPORT?

WONDERFUL telephone conversation with my favorite Okie.

Spangles http://spanglesinc.com/ for dinner.  Their green tea with peach…FUCKING YUM!

I received a VERY encouraging FB message from JL…oh wow!

OMGs, several times lately Essie cries when I leave a room and comes a-running.  If I ever heard her do that when I leave for work that would break my heart.

It’s been a damned good day off.

PM Prayer: Forsizo; Heil to you, 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 just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is
fraudulent, mete-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 HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

NOTE:  It was so cute.  Just before 4AM Toby came into the bedroom letting me know he had to potty.  Luckily I was kind of awake to hear his whimper.  AFTER 4AM Socks was ready to go into the Haruc.  Toby and Essie were ready for breakfast.  Toby LOVES his new canned food and he needed more kibble.  Essie loves the juice from Toby’s canned food and she was ready for kibble.  It’s a great morning!

Plans: work

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!


Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

AM Elder Rune: Teiwaz (R): Outside the favor of Ziu; the god of honor,
without victory in conflict, injustice, imbalance, mismanagement, failure,
dishonesty, compromised judgments, defeat, warfare without purpose,  legal dilemma, the inability to fight for what’s right, void of the will to succeed, double standards.



Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

AM Armanen Rune: Kun: 
Havamal 150.
A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with  juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.

That which is existing, defense, the polarity of the male/female principle in the Universe, opposing energies, earthly love, as executive power of balancing justice, art, capability, artist, genius, being favored, procreation, the child, force, that which is established, World Tree, power, generation, ability and artfulness, sensuality, higher consciousness, return.

 Outcome: It was an absolutely shitty day at work all around.  The 10hr shift could come to a close soon enough.  I can say, however, the guy training me may be a pup, but he’s a genius at this machining stuff.  Thank the gods for a three-day weekend.

Ah hel, my scapula pain came back in a MAJOR way today.

THERE’S my welcoming committee. 

OH MAN!  YUMMY dinner!  Dinner sausage sautéed in banana peppers (from my garden), onions and butter on top of a bed of rice!

Essie on tether (the mosquitoes don’t seem to bother her), Socks in the Haruc, Toby and I outside briefly (the mosquitoes really DO bother ME) and I cannot leave Toby unattended.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn…streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch…

PM Prayer: Die Wurtâ :
Die 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 die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

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 Wî h; 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 Altmâ gâ . WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

AM Elder Rune: Eihwaz (Irreversible): Irminsul, the Cosmic pillar, stress and difficulties, overcoming obstacles, need to have backbone to get through, endurance, “Shit happens, get over it!“, temporary  cosmic consciousness, inner stability over external circumstances, the Shamanic link of experiences within the All.


Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice

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: Stress, but that’s the way of things.

Outcome: Things started out well but turned VERY stressful day at work.  Where the mistakes I thought were mine, they were actually the result of a faulty hydraulic line.  Understand that I run two CNC machines simultaneously due to the nature of the extrusion material used in the shop.  It’s either “T” or “L” shaped material.  One machine works on one side of the material, I transfer material to the other side and the 2nd
machine works on the other leg, so two operations are being worked at the same
time.  So most all shift I was tightening and loosening machine bolts.  I’m exhausted.

I love my welcome home committee. 

Essie on tether.

Toby got a flea bath

and ways of our ancestors.  We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the fullest.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, BREGO, as we honor the Brego that
resides in us all!
