September/Scheiding 19, 2010 ERE Sunday/Sonnestac

9/19/2010

(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: usual

AM Prayer: Sunday, we pray to Sonne/Sunna, lighting a yellow candle (symbolic of the Sun):
Greetings to you Sonne, Lamp of Wodan/Odin: newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will shine on our decedents yet unborn. Share with us some of your light, your energy, your power, so that we might better fight our battles and attain our goals. SONNE/SUNNA HAIL!!

AM Rune: Ehwaz (R): The relationship of a horse and rider out of control, disharmony, quarrelsome tendencies, mistrust, betrayal, indecisiveness, false friends, treachery, change and movement for the worse, loss, break-up of a relationship, disruption of relationships.

Outcome: Hmmmm….wasn’t figurin’ on that one…

OMGs! It’s a beautifully crisp, cool morning! It’s a perfekt morning for a walk with Meeka and a casual bicycle ride around Delano http://www.wichitadelano.com/

McDs for breakfast

Weeeeeeeeeell, Audie is a bit out of control this morning but I have seen here worse.

Watched some Bundesliga futball on ESPN3.com

Ya know, I’m going to check in with a new Rune Dynamic…

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!!

PM 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, growth, progress, patience, the result of a previous action, reward for the right (or wrong) action.

Well now THAT makes sense! I’ve been making some new contacts. One in particular may be a bit premature but that’s how things work. The other contact is an old friend from the neighborhood who wants to help me with getting a job where he works. So we’ll see how this Ehwaz/Jera thing works out.

While Audie was cleaning the house I spent several hours on campus. I just needed to get away from here for a while. It felt good.

Interesting: I had two conversations with people about my situation with Audie…

(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: we’ll see

AM Prayer: Saturday, normally attributed to the fertility goddess, 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!!

Note: Meeka out for an early AM walk. While out on the walk I was compelled to pick up some acorns that had fallen from an oak tree in an effort to in some way honor the Vanir.

AM Rune: Inguz (Irreversible): Yngvi Ing Fro/Freyr, the god of Ar: prosperity, abundance, sexuality and fridu, gestation, the womb and the tomb, fertility, fruitfulness, peace and plenty, nature wisdom, sacrifice for the positive, completion of one stage and progressing to the next, internal growth, wait.

Outcome: Hehe…the Vanir are pleased with my aforementioned effort.

I spent the better part of the morning trying to get some info on the indoor soccer match I had planned for today. I visited several sites http://misl.net/http://www.arenaleague.com/http://www.independenceeventscenter.com/ trying to determine if it was still on. Then I think, DUH, the site where I bought the tickets http://www.gettix.net/ and there I saw it had been cancelled. It took a bit of work to even get thru to them but finally did verify the cancellation and that they refunded my money…A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. Not satisfied yet, I call my bank to very that…and yes, the money had been refunded. Ya know, a simple email from gettix.net would have made this whole aggravation unnecessary.

Where the hel did that nap come from?

LOL…someone from the Comet’s office returned my inquiry call about the MISL/PASL game: how nice!

DAMN, who flipped the summer switch back to “ON”? C’mon September 23rd!

Audie’s not well again today

Ya know, I am hoping for some kind of new fertility with my current FB contact…not expecting an awful-lot, but some good fun would be nice.

Today’s study effort was once again brought to you by Radiologic Positioning.

Ran an errand to get a long overdue notebook for Positioning Lab and made some long overdue phone calls.

Cessna approved their contract by default: http://www.kansas.com/2010/09/18/1499782/cessna-contract-accepted-by-default.html so I guess a 7 yr shitty contract is better than losing jobs.

Only a wee bit more studying in Radiologic Physics.

Ostara/Idun, keeper of the golden apples of youth, 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. HAIL OSTARA/IDUN!!!

(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: off and on study…

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!!

AM Rune: 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.

Outcome: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell…

Audie was in a kind of a snit this morning so I moved my ass onto campus to do my studying there.

I came home, had a bit of lunch and got on the phone trying to get through to the unemployment people; which was absolutely futile. I found the Kansas Unemployment website http://www.dol.ks.gov/index.html where I discovered a phone number different than the ones I have been calling. The lady was really nice and took down my name and number to have someone call me back next week; so there might be some movement with this unemployment stuff.

I called the bank of origin about my car loan and the deferred this month’s payment, moving it to the end of my loan which gave me a bit of breathing room.

Audie continues to be in a pissy mood…

Audie’s doctor appointment went as well as it could have. She still has some health issues but she is better.

A bit more Radiologic Positioning

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 spirit of the hunter, we may climb its branched to ever higher levels of awareness. HAIL WULDAR/ULLR!!

9/17/2010

(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: classes

AM Prayer: Thursday, we pray to Donar/Thor, and lighting a red candle:
Donar/Thor, 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, and teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who appose our will. HAIL DONAR/THOR!!

AM Rune: none; hmmmmmm…I could have sworn I went into the Hof prior to class…brain fart.

Outcome: lasses went as well as could be expected. I just now I need to get with it and do better

Wrestled with my mortgage company since the Work Force Alliance is being slack about making my house payment like they said they would…and the mother fucker is due today!

Grocery trip…courtesy of Audie because I certainly don’t have it in my account.

I am very concerned about my finances. As of tomorrow my unemployment is 5 weeks behind. I haven’t received a rejection letter so I have to presume they will eventually place me on tier 3 and 88 more weeks. As of right now I am borrowing from my savings up thru November just to pay bills. As soon as unemployment comes thru (fingers crossed) I’ll be able to repay myself. Until then, I’m hurting.

I have a full weekend of studying. Some months ago I purchased two tickets for a Missouri Comets http://cometsindoorsoccer.com/ indoor soccer match this weekend. As long as Audie doesn’t want to make something grandiose about it we might be able to work in a day-trip. I’m just not too sure she’ll be agreeable to it. I just know I need to maximize study time for two tests this coming Tuesday.

Now what the hel? She was fine an hour ago and now she pissed at something…WTF?

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!!

9/15/2010

(Skeidentimanod = Summer’s End Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: clinicals

AM Prayer: Wednesday, we pray to the Divine couple: Wodan/Odin and Frija/Frigga, lighting royal blue (for Wodan/Odin) and light blue (for Frija/Frigga) candles.
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!!

And

Berkana (R): Problems with relating to the feminine, the maternal influence and the feminine mysteries, void of growth and caring, deceit, degradation, immaturity, deterioration, contamination, needlessly clinging, in need of Mothering.

Outcome: So, in my strength I need to be mindful of my feminine side? Hehe…

Clinicals were fantastic! I learned two new things and saw my 3rd ERCP http://gicare.com/Endoscopy-Center/ERCP.aspx JUST FREAKIN’ AWSOME!

Great Wall for dinner

OMGs! A powerful storm blew thru ICT: high winds, driving rain, thunder, lightening, tornadoes, hail…IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I’ll have to inspect for any damage tomorrow.

I could not tear myself away from “America’s Got Talent”. When both Fighting Gravity and Prince Poppycock came in 3rd and 4th respectively I was disappointed. Even more so when the little girl operatic singer came in 2nd and a Bruce Springsteen wannabe took the prize: YUCK!

Now I gotta get in some Radiographic Physics before bedtime.

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: Ehwaz (U): Horse, the special, controlled relationship between a rider and a horse, taking control of a situation, adaptability, following one’s instincts, teamwork, trust, loyalty, partnership, cooperation, instinct, intuition, working in tandem with another.

Outcome: Classes went as well as could have been expected. What is obvious is I need more control in my classes with Newman U. Like I didn’t know this?

I’m a bit nervous going into Kaman Aerospace. Hopefully this is an effort to follow my instincts.

Well that was a wasted effort. I was shot down and access denied by the receptionist. She definitely had control of that front office area. I’ve contacted my person of info to see if he had other ideas. Perhaps he has more control elsewhere in this situation.

Jeez…I’m just pretty down. I thought for sure this job had some good possibilities; instead, I was shot down before I could get a toe in. This Rune should have been Ehwaz reversed!

I totally blew the reduce-my-portions diet tonight: I ate like a pig!

Tonight’s study effort was brought to you by Radiologic Physics

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!

AM Prayer: Monday we pray to Mano/Manni, god of the moon, and lighting a white candle (symbolic of the moon):
Greetings to you Mano/Manni, silver messenger on high, 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/Manni let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives.

Outcome: Meeka for a before-the-crack-o-dawn walk. We both need this kind of exercise.

Audie has woken up in a very good mood. I really need more mornings like this.

I made a trip to campus so I could use their printer. I have been made aware of a job possibility (thanks, Mike) so I have updated one version of my resume and will take it in to Kaman Aerospace http://www.kamanaero.com/subcntr_mfg/index.html tomorrow after class. I have often said I would much rather be in the workforce that in class. I really do need this!

Positioning Lab at Wesley Hospital went well enough

Came home to take the Medical terminology test: 91% (with some stupid mistakes on my part)

Off to the State Fair!

Audie and I actually had a pretty good time at the Fair. Because of my class and test schedule we got a late start so we couldn’t stay very long. We had a god time nonetheless. OMGs, we practically ate ourselves sick! Did we need that? Yeah, I suppose so.

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

That which “was” we clearly see.
That which “is” formed now in our deeds.
That which “will be”, will yet be; but cannot see.
We celebrate the Norns, the Ladies Three, for eternity.

Early morning Meeka walk

An accidental, extended bicycle ride that about did me in…it was pretty tough

Audie cleaned house in prep for the Rheinwood meeting here tonight; it was pretty stressful for her since she’s still pretty weak.

Off and on study

McDs for lunch

Audie back in bed

Off and on study

The Rheinwood closed meeting was a bit late getting started (could’ve been a bit stressful) but once it got going it was an EXCELLENT night with the Kindred and Probationers. In the business portion of the meeting we changed our meeting times to every 2nd and fourth Sundays. We also made plans for a trip to Lindsborg. After that we started going over the Elder Futhark. EXCELLENT!

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.

AM Rune: Hagalaz (irreversible): The cosmic seed of potential, a sacred enclosure/shell, shaping, evolution, protection within, holiness, destruction/regeneration, destructive elements, unavoidable unpleasantness, seek shelter and ride it out, potentially destructive but change will occur on its own given time.

Outcome: A few days ago while shopping I picked up some “other” kind of cat food in an effort to save a buck. It was Alpo’s Kit-n-Kabootle and I thought I could mix it in and wean the kitties over. Audie brought to my attention the latest cascade of kitty vomit around the house coinciding with the latest cat food purchase. Realizing she was right I went to the store to pick up the usual brand, only to find out the usual brand was now cheaper than the attempted savings on Alpo. It was so inexpensive I picked up two bags. All is well, now. LOL…So I guess this was an unavoidable unpleasantness of my creation.

Banana pancakes with bacon (for her) and sausage (for me): YUMMERZ!

Lazy morning

Power napped

A bit of studying

As the sun set I mowed half the yard

Audie had a pretty good day today.

As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from the Rainbow Bridge leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining home. HAIL HEIMO/HEIMDALL!!

Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Berkana (neutral) So it could be either:
Berkana (U): The feminine, Nerthus, birth processes, rejuvenation, recuperation, purification, the birch tree, birth, becoming, life changes, the Earth Mother, Frija/Frigga at her most motherly, healing, a significant life passage.
Or
Berkana (R): Problems with relating to the feminine, the maternal influence and the feminine mysteries, void of growth and caring, deceit, degradation, immaturity, deterioration, contamination, needlessly clinging, in need of Mothering.

Outcome: I really do miss my blood Mother. Although she died several years ago (’94), every once in a while I just wander what it would be like having her here today. She was never much for giving advice but her presence was always very comforting. Sure, we gave her shit when we were young; what adolescent didn’t? I would give anything to have her back.

Audie continues to sleep…and sleep…and sleep…

Online time most of the morning

Medical Terminology afternoon

Some serious remembering of Mother…sad

Ya know, I make a pretty mean boxed casserole if I do say so myself; coupled, of course, with some butter corn. I can turn the bland into the scrumptious. It’s a gift…

Two loads of laundry; washed/dried/folded or hung

Her Highness slept…

WOW! Thor is getting ready to do something tonight. Some BEAUTIFUL storm clouds are building with some lightening and a bit of thunder. HAIL THOR!

Eger und Rahana/Aegir and Ran, keeper 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. HAIL AEGIR and RAN/EGER UND RHANA!!
