AM Prayer: Frijastac/Friday, we pray to Frija:
Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home.  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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

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


Picture
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
green peppers, wrapped in a whole-wheat tortilla!

Power nap…WOW!

LOTS of racist goings-on today on the Heathen Community World-wide page.

I’m one to let conversations run their course, but when racist bullshit is
that obvious I just don’t put up with it.

THE GERMAN FLAG I ORDERED FROM AMAZON.com ARRIVED; $4.07

Yup, coming soon, The 13th Warrior for the 108th time.

All is well…for now.

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!

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: Yr: 
Havamal 160.
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,
To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.

Perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Colum, the carrier of
genetic material, 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, well grounded,
roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to
man, the descending Divine being.

Interpretation: Good luck (Perth0) with the feminine (Yr).

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
everything I could to maintain a good attitude.  I wait with breathless
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

Lots of Online stuff


Picture
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!

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 Altmâgâ . WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Not: 
Havamal 152.
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
change of karma, banishing ill fortune by means of accepting karma and karmic
law, Skuld, Divine justice that balances, use your Fate; do not stem yourself
against it.

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
think he realized the necessity (Not) of it.  It turned out to be my best day yet.

Fed all animals

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!

AM Prayer: Ziustac/Tuesday, we pray to Ziu:
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 HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Sig: 
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.


Picture
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!

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver

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

goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.  WE

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: Evolution (Hagalaz) in relationships (Eh). 

Outcome: Ever since JL and I have been communicating Eh has certainly figured
prominently. 

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
tomatoes are still to come.

Nice evening…

PM Prayer: 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 A MOST
HEART-FELT HEIL, SIBBA, as we honor the
Sibba that resides in us all!

Interpretation: Weakness (Thurisaz) in relationships (Eh).  I hope Jamie’s
okay.

Outcome: I’m trying to stay off the porch as much as possible so the baby
birds can be nourished.   Any more I go out the back door instead of the front
and I have Toby’s leash on the fence.

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…

Separated recyclables

Brother came over o use the internet.  He may have
money coming http://www.kansasstatetreasurer.com/prodweb/main/index.php

Gave Toby a flea bath

WONDERFUL telephone conversation with OKC

WONDERFUL Fb conversation with Jamie

Two loads of laundry

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?

8:30PM/20:30 and DARK!  It’s happening!  The days are getting shorter and the
nights are getting longer.

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!

Plans: DAY OFF, mow yard

Picture
AM Prayer: Frijastac/Friday, we pray to Frija:
Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home.  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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija 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

Picture
AM Elder Rune: Kenaz (neutral) so it could be either
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.

Or

Kenaz (R): Ulcer, 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, dark influences, cruel sexuality, uncontrollable human craft processes.

Or both


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


Picture
AM Armanen Rune: Fa: 
Havamal 145.
The first one promises to help generously
In sorrow, sickness and pain;
In eternal change, man goes forth
From death to new creation.

Guidance, help, Father, beginning; preface of that which is becoming, being and passing away; procreation, original fire, creative father principle, guidance, Father-God principle.  primal Fire, the power of spirit and change as well as the power of creativity, guidance, divine masculine principle, success, pure, generated fire that acts creatively in love, will that spares manifestation down to the material levels, necessity of change.

Interpretation: Questionable inspiration (Kenaz) made right with the necessity of change (Fa).

Outcome: Toby fully enjoyed his .8 mile walk.

There are baby birds in the mailbox I abandoned because of the nest being built in it!  This morning I THOUGHT I heard them but had to listen closely.  Now what I need to do is to get in the habit to use the back door so as not to disturb them nor impede their feeding.

Off to Lowe’s for edging twine

Got onto the yard

Essie on her tether.

Front yard is done and edged…looking good, finally! 

Lunch break

OH MAN!  I found a 3x5 German citizens’ flag on Amazon.com for $4.07 with free shipping.  You think I didn’t take advantage of that?

A bit of a nap in my green chair, awakened by a kitty wanting attention.  Seriously, that was so nice.

Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market
Dillons petrol
My brother was WONDERFULLY nice to buy me $150 in groceries.  GODS LOVE HIM!  I am well stocked for some time now.

Two loads of laundry

Bundesliga http://www.bundesliga.com/en/ 
Borussia Dortmund 1:0 SV Werder Bremen (YESSSSSSSSSSS!)
http://www.bundesliga.com/en/stats/matchday/?matchid=145180&season=2013&liga=51&round=3

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!

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.

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…


Picture
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.

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

PM Prayer: Brego, long-bearded god; son of Wodan and Gunnlod; husband of Ostara; you’re the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds.  You have the Runes carved on your tongue.  Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead.  Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver cup called Bregofull; we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to the gods
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!
