AM Prayer: Tuesday, Ziostag, we pray to Zio/Tyr, 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, may we share in your glory by imitating you. We honor the Zio/Tyr that
resides in us.  ZIO/TYR HAIL!!

The Self is very much under control.

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. Fro/Freyr and Froja/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 Rune: Algiz (neutral) so it could be either:

Algiz (U): Protection, Heimo/Heimdall (the genetic connection between gods and the Folk), guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, protection, expansion of consciousness, divine realizations, an awakening, drawing on the natural Will, invocation/supplication to the gods, AKA Elhaz, the Elk, or swan.

Or

Algiz (R): Outside the favor of Heimo/Heimdall, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what‘s coming, an aspect of death, void of the power of the Elk.

Or both

Outcome: Hmmmmmmmm…

Damn, slept pretty well; only got up once to potty, good advantage of new meds.

Audie’s tooth is hurting today.

Meeka and I for an extended walk; getting in my cardio!

Hawker Beechcraft laid me off today; well, it’s not
actually a lay-off because there’s no hope of getting my job back.  This is a
down-sizing.  I lost my job because of three new Hawker plants in Mexico and/or
my job being outsourced in some form or fashion.  There was no way in the world
to protect myself in this.  What the company does is what the company does.

Algiz (neutral) as an indicator of death; yeah, my job died today!  There’s no hope of resurrecting it.

I went to KANSASWORKS.com before bed.  There just may be some hope.

PM Prayer: Forseti:
As the son of Baldr and Nanna, we call out to you in our time of need.  You are 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 honor the Forseti that resides in us.  HAIL FORSETI!

AM Prayer: Saturday/Saturn’s Day, Day of Fertility/Tag der

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, Fro/Freyr, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful.  We honor the Fro/Freyr that resides in us. 
FRO/FREYR, HAIL!!


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. We honor the Sibba/Sif that resides in us.  HAIL SIBBA/SIF!!

Quick trip to Quick Trip http://www.quiktrip.com/ so Audie could have some milk to
make her cake.

Dillon’s http://www.dillons.com/Pages/default.aspx for my tossed salad fixings

Ya know, one of these days I’m sure Audie and I will attend family things together.  Her family and my family plan T-Day events on the same day at the same time.  Until one changes, it just has to be this way.  I just wonder if this is my Berkana (R)?

I think Audrey had a pretty good time at her parents’ house.

I was late getting over to my niece’s but I had a good time nonetheless.  My newest great nephew is right around 6 month’s old.  He’s quite the momma’s boy, but today he was certainly taking a shine to me.  I took the chance and offered to hold him while they were all cleaning up after dinner.  IT WAS A SUCCESS!  Kaeden never cried once for his momma and was very content me holding him.  YESSSSSSSSS!  Hey, I have picture proof!  Also, I was given four items from my sister-in-law:
*A 1966 Lehigh (Kansas) yearbook that has my mother’s graduating class picture from 1944 in the “Glimpses  of the Past” section.  There’s my momma on page 47!  There’s my cousin Marlin Schmidt on page 10 as part of that year’s graduating class.
*A book about where my father worked in the Navy.  The book is called JICPOA; Joint Intelligence Center, Pacific Ocean Areas, Pearl Harbor, 1945: Photo-Litho Section.  There’s my daddy on page 66, Printer 3rd Class, truck driver!
*A wedding picture of my Mother and Father I have never seen.
*A Dog-N-Shake plate she evidently had made somewhere.

On the way home I explored a bit of the Kansas countryside as well as the town of Cheney (pronounced Chee’-nee) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheney,_Kansas.  It’s the home of the Sedgwick County State Fair http://www.ourcountyfair.com/.  Pretty rustic.  I also explored a part of Lake Afton http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/lake_afton/ I had never seen.  It was a nice trip home.

It certainly didn’t take Audrey long to crash.

Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from the Rainbow Bridge leading to our heart’s abode.

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

Outcome: As if yesterday wasn’t enlightening enough.

Ya know, I woke up kind of troubled.  I’m experiencing things with the Kindred I NEVER thought I’d experience.  They couldn’t, no one could, pay me enough to deal with this kind of shit; yet, I do it voluntarily.  It weighs heavily on me because I care what happens.

Trouble, too, on the labor front.  I am fully expecting to be laid off next week.  After that, what?  What is a 57 yr old aircraft worker to do?  Where am I going to find ANYTHING to match my meager budget?  My house is a two-bedroom bungalow built in 1938.  I drive a 2007 Saturn Vue.  I pay my bills.  My lifestyle is not extravagant by any means, yet it will no doubt prove impossible to find anything to fulfill my needs.  Employers are wanting to pay less while their profits increase and I go into the poorhouse.

*I took a jab in the fleshy part between my knuckles.  It bled only a bit, but man it certainly smarts.  It looks a bit swollen, too.
*Tonight I found out that the 29th date for lay-off/termination is looking more certain. 
There are five people coming into our shop from outlying shops: three from the hammer-house and two from tooling as both of those shops are beginning their downsizing.  This is going to overload the shop so others will have to leave…that being most of the 2nd shift there now.
*I find it amazing that Hawker Beechcraft can build three modern, air-conditioned plants in Chihuahua, Mexico but can’t fix a turnstile here is Wichita.  Okay, so it’s a minor inconvenience, but its just a indication of how important Plant 1 is not.

RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PM Prayer: Ostara/Idun:
Ostara/Idun, 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 honor the Idun that resides in us.  HAIL OSTARA/IDUN!!!

AM Prayer: Sunday/Sunnastag, 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. We honor the Sonne/Sunna that resides in us. 
SONNE/SUNNA HAIL!!


Rune Summons
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Holy Runes send my way
Advice on how to spend the day

AM Rune: Teiwaz (R): Outside the favor of Ziu/Tyr; 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.


Outcome: hmmmm…disturbing

Once again Audie is a mood to do nothing

Dillons Rx http://www.dillons.com/pharmacy/Pages/default.aspx
*I doubt I will ever get over getting Meeka’s Rx thru Dillons pharmacy.

Lowe’s http://www.lowes.com/ covering for window a/c.  All window
a/c units are now covered and ready for winter.  While at Lowe's I also picked up
some weathering strips for the Hof.

I got a very illuminating call from a kindred member: confirmation of Teiwaz (R). 

Went over to my brother’s and visited with him briefly as he already had company.

Went over to my niece’s and had an excellent time!

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.  We honor the Ullr that resides in us.
HAIL WULDAR/ULLR!!
