Plans: work

Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Laguz (R): A dried-up body of Water, difficulties with relating to the feminine, manipulation, lack of moral fiber, emotions out of control or suppressed, shallow minded, fear, deception, unsympathetic, totally void of growth, failing to go with the flow, frivolity, immaturity, disconnect with the Inner Self.

Outcome: Gods, I hope not…

LOL…there really were some stupid things going on at work today! It was al I could do to control my emotions.

Audie totally dropped the ball today and I am just going to leave it at that. Once again, it was all I could do to control my emotions. She was in bed by 5PM.

Dried two loads of laundry and started a load. Gotta have it dry by bedtime.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There, I fell so much better!

Make that another load laundry and dry, a sink of dishes AND a sick woman…

PM Prayer: Ostara/Idun:
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!!!

November/Nebelung 28, 2010 ERE Sunday/Sonnestac

11/28/2010

(Nebulmanod = Mist Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: dunno…other than an RHK meeting.

Note: Once again early AM wake-up to do more web-searches for Romuva.

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!!

Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Thurisaz (R): Thorn, Outside the favor of Donar/Thor, the strong One, beware of enemies from the outside, defenselessness, disruptive opposition, lack of fertility, shadow of the unconscious, disease, explosive violence, introversion, cowardice, destruction, a loss of masculinity, fight or flight: choosing flight.

Outcome: Yeah, I know what the outside forces could be: low energy! I was up after only 5 hrs of sleep. Now, I’m fighting the temptation to go back to bed because I want to be able to sleep once 8PM comes around for a 3:30AM wake-up tomorrow for work.

Bah…the outside tree display has blown over. It might be a failed experiment this year. The wind is just HOWLING this morning…kind of like an enemy from the outside…

Lazy

Errand for Audie

Quick grocery trip

I’ll NEVER understand where Audie’s panic/anxiety attacks come from. She pretty much lives the life of Reilly and doesn’t have much to worry about. These “attacks” from the outside have become a bit more frequent lately. It seems the other shoe has dropped.

Voluntarily stayed home; was going to go out to the Mall…

I surrendered to the experimental outdoor Yule tree display. I cant seem to get power to it without blowing a fuse. The wind is totally blowing the shit out of it as I don’t have it anchored properly. All Yule display lights had to be up by today because tomorrow starts the 64 hr work weeks. I don’t have the energy or the wherewithal to tend to it any more today. The porch looks nice enough by itself.

It was a GREAT RHK meeting. Yule plans were finalized and relationships insured!

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!!

http://romuva.tripod.com//index.html (I think the same as previous, just a different version)

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!!

Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Two Runes

Dagaz (irreversible): Light of day, total enlightenment, awakening, the AH-HA moment, achieving balance, harmony, positive focus on life, light at the end of the tunnel, increase, growth, an ending prior a beginning, transformation, possibly related to the 3rd eye (the place where the two lobes of the brain join).

And

Wunjo (U): Joy, pasture, joy attained with the fulfillment of a wish, the strong Clanic relationship, social contacts, fellowship, happiness, optimism, realization of true will, social and domestic harmony, good cheer, new social relationships, Fridu/Frith; within a secure setting, the good/bright side of Wodan/Odin.

Outcome: See? I have been enlightened! I really think I also have a connection to this Romuva thing as I have direct connections ancestrally to Prussia. I think I’ve made some ancestor happy somewhere.

I took my brother up on his offer to take mom’s old artificial Yule tree off his hands. Audie and I discussed it; because of its size we decided it would look rather nice as an outdoor tree. I put it up immediately; yeah, I think it’s going to look preemo!

I sprung for a new, indoor, pre-lighted, 7 ft, artificial Yule tree and some adornments. The only reason I CAN do this is because I handle money like a pro! Even after being laid off for a couple of years I still have a bit of money put back in a savings account.

Put up Yule lights around the porch. Nice, even if I do say so myself!

PF Chang’s http://www.pfchangs.com/menu/ on Audie’s birthday gift card: YUMMERZ!

I tried to connect the outdoor Yule tree to the porch lights but blew a fuse twice. Now I’m no too sure how this is going to work now, but hey, the porch looks GRAND!

Okay, I finally found a final score on yesterday’s MISL match between the Milwaukee Wave and the Missouri Comets http://cometsindoorsoccer.com/news/articledetail.php?articleid=64: Wave 21:11 Comets

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!!

November/Nebelung 26, 2010 ERE Friday/Frouwastac

11/27/2010

(Nebulmanod = Mist Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: recover…

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: 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: Okay, yesterday DESTROYED my diet so now I’m into the regenerative mode…

Oh well, McDs for breakfast…sure, why not?

Audie has had a rough morning.

I was contacted by someone on FB asking me to do a piece on Yule for some publication; 500-700 words. That was such an easy and I was glad to oblige!

Worked on the High/Ancestors Seat area at the Solar Cross. The destruction of it was the other day. Today was the regeneration part of it.

My Jehovah’s Witness buddy stopped by for a visit.

McDs for dinner, too…sure, why not?

MISL (Major Indoor Soccer League) Match http://misl.net/
Missouri Comets v Milwaukee Wave (live online)
It was 4:11 at the half…I doubt that it got much better…fell asleep...can’t seem to find out anywhere.

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!

11/26/2010

(Nebulmanod = Mist Month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)

Plans: Audie to her parent’s, me to my niece's.

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!!

Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Pertho (neutral) so it could be either

Pertho (U): Dice cup, the lucky roll of the dice, the presence of positive Wyrd/Orlog (the ordeal of Humankind), the Norns, Urdr, Verdandi and Skuld, the realization of hidden potential, interwoven yet independent Wyrd, good fellowship and happiness, secrets revealed, the Well of Knowledge for growth.

Or

Pertho (R): The presence of negative Wyrd, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret, delusions, fantasies, megalomania, outside the collective/individual consciousness, out of touch with reality, negative forces set in motion, the need to deal with uncertainty, unpleasant contractions of birth pains.

Outcome: Early morning shopping excursion. I’ve determined to get a fruit basket for Audie to take to her parents’ house along with her veggie offering, and I’m taking a fall-isch centerpiece coupled with a tossed salad to my niece’s. OMGs the fruit basket ended up being HUGE for a $25 basket; of course, it all comes down to knowing the guys in the produce section as I world with them years ago. They no doubt padded it a bit. The salad I made turned out to be one of my best! As I dropped Audie off at her parents’ I took in the fruit basket. I left there to head out to my niece’s. I had an excellent time with my niece, her husband, my sister-in-law, and her brother, Frank. My great nephew had both of his favorite uncles there, but once frank left I was the total focus of my great-nephew’s attention. He is such an absolute blast! I REALLY LOVE MY GREAT NEPHEW! He’s going to grow up to be an amazing man, no doubt! I left there to pick up Audie who was playing Scrabble with her parents and brother. Audie and I may have had to go to separate Thanksgiving Day festivities but we did just fine!

Once home, it didn’t take Audie ;long to go to bed!

I would say the luck was rolling today!

Audie’s step-mom called later in the evening thanking us (really it was MY idea) for the fruit basket and to say how enjoyable Audie was; like she was her old self!

Luck be a lady tonight!

Ya know, looking back, I can see how Pertho could have very easily played out in either position depending on how other situations played out!

Too much food = BOOM, BOOM; OUT GO THE LIGHTS!

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!

Plans: work

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.

AM Rune: Mannaz (R): Problems relating with Heimdall and humanity, without cooperation between people, the inability to work within a social structure in an effective way, intellectual arrogance, bigotry, closed mindedness, failed social interaction and disorder; anti-social behavior and lack of Divine structure.

Outcome: I didn’t experience that at all today. Things continue to go very well at work. I successfully prepared a project and vacuum bagged it mostly by myself. Yet, late in the day I think I may have found my nich! All day long it seemed I mostly did nothing but observe. Toward the end of shift I was asked to assist on this one project. Tired of not feeling engaged I suggested to my lead man that this guy tend to this project himself and I get rolling on some sanding and trimming. I was asked, “You WANT to do that? No one EVER ASKS to work sanding and trimming.” Well there ya have it! It’s what I do best! Come to find out there are quite a need right now for that sort of thing and I let them know I was happy to be the one do it for them. Not only that but I have inquired about assembling within the department. I was told, “Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.” Well there ya have it again!

Besides, work started cutting people with vacation hours loose at 9AM. For the rest of us we only had to work 8 hrs then go home.

Audie had a pretty rough day…is this my Mannaz (R)? From what she's described, maybe.

Store; Rx for Audie

Haircut

Lowe’s

Okay, now fall is really beginning to set in!

A good slow evening…I just hope there isn’t a Mannaz (R) lurking somewhere in the background because things are going pretty well lately.

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.

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!!

Came home to a plugged-up drain. Exhausted, I made a trip to the store for Liquid Plumber and a smaller snake drain thingie…After some serious plunging in association WITH the Liquid Plumber and open it goes!

Did I mention exhausted?

WOW!~ I went from the unemployed to the over-employed but getting paid pretty damned well for it! I’m looking at a 64 hr work week with Thanksgiving day and the Christian Christmas day off; other than that it’s work, work, work, work, work! It’s not bad work at all since it’s the same type of work I was doing at Hawker-Beechcraft only with fiberglass instead of aluminum. Tomorrow starts my 5AM-3:30PM days. Audie has been an absolute trooper thus far!

Early to bed for a 3:30AM morning to be at work by 5.

PM Prayer: Heimdall:
HEAR ME HEIMO/HEIMDALL, the genetic link between gods and humankind. Your keen eyes and sharp ears guard the world of the gods. 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!!

Plans: ????. MLS Cup match that I probably won’t get to watch thanks to my FUCKING computer.

NOTE: Early AM walk with Meeka

NOLTE 2: With Gebo in effect I wanted to give the gods thanks for helping my land this job. I simply grew too tired as the day went on. Early this morning I filled a horn of mead and went out to the Solar Cross. I walked the circle three times singing a song I‘ve created:

Unto me here I call on you Wotan.
Unto me here I call Yngvi Frey.
Unto me here I call Thor the mighty.
Unto me here I call Tyr the brave.

Unto me here I call on you Freyja.
Unto me here I call Frigg the Wise.

Unto me here I claim Iduun’s prize.

Unto me here I call on my ancestors.
Unto me here I call on my gods.

Horn in the South, the Way of warmth, I give you HAIL!
Horn in the West, the Way of ending, I give you HAIL!
Horn in the North, the Way of my ancestors, I give you HAIL!

I then went back to each one and vehemently thanked them for giving me the opportunity:

In the East, to start anew (poured a draught of mead);
In the south, to heat my home (poured a draught of mead);
In the West, to end my unemployment (poured a draught of mead);
In the North, honor myself and my ancestors (poured a draught of mead)!

Good slow morning…

I worked on the Solar Cross a bit; cleaned up how the posts look, started reframing the Ancestor’s/High Seat area and removing mistakes (thanks brother!).

Who turned summer back on? 70+C in late November? WTF? It wasn’t that long ago we had snow flurries and it wont be too much longer we’ll be in the deep freeze.

Totally prepared to be back on the J.O.B. tomorrow morning after 2 yrs!

Outcome: Vaygar smiles…

I spent all morning into the afternoon trying to figure out my computer. It’s just running horribly slowly. According to Cox it’s getting all my proper signals so there’s nothing wrong there. I’ve run every diagnostic I can and still no improvement. Certain things I can access and certain things I cannot. Any attempt to access a link just goes nowhere. Can’t access Cox’s email service. ARGH! I’ve even downloaded something the Cox guy suggested that was supposed to find any viruses on my computer and still nothing; np sign of a virus. I may have to breakdown and take the damned thing into Best Buy but that’s $200...

Mega grocery run

El Mexico Café for dinner

Finally finished Robin Hood (2010)

Beautiful evening…full moon!

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!!
