Plans: Rheinwood Nordliut meeting…
Fruchtbarkeit/Saturday, we pray to Sibba, and to Ing-Frô, lighting green candles (for fertility):
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 MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!
Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar
(peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. 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-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

still and gain control of the Self (in all its forms): grounding, a lowering of vibration levels, and the loss of momentum.

A ninth I know: when need befalls me
to save my vessel afloat,
I hush the wind on the stormy wave,
and soothe all the sea to rest.
Outcome: Now THIS message is coming thru loudly and clearly!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Toby for his ,7, somewhat unruly, at the crack of fucking dawn, somewhat cooler, walk.
The thing I love about weekends is it’s my EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST weekend. The concern is the effect too much bacon and sausage has on
my cholesterol; hence, I only have breakfast meats on the weekend. So, this morning I made for A_ scrambled eggs w/cheese and bacon. I made for me, scrambled eggs w/o cheese and bacon w/tortilla plus home fried (very lightly oiled and seasoned) potatoes; 1% milk and orange juice: YUM!
OOOOOoooooo, it’s Coast Guard Day! I need to keep this date on the calendar!

The Rheinwood Nordliut open meeting went VERY well. Can I EVER say enough good things about the food that’s served at ANY of our meetings? We discussed only a bit of business but soon discovered there was much more to discuss so we called a special meeting for this following Saturday.
During the meeting we could tell the cold front had moved in. I noticed a drop in temp driving from Wichita to Mt Hope. As the meeting progressed the temps became even cooler. As I let Mt Hope it was interesting to watch the thermometer in the car. In Mt Hope it was mid-70s and grew warmer the closer I got to Wichita. It brought to mind the “heat bubble” I learned about in environmental science where the heat contained in the concrete in the city creates a heat bubble that forces weather to go around it. By the time I got home the temp was 81F/27C; still MUCH better than it has been.
It’s so nice I took Toby out for walk #2. I tested him on noticing intersections without me telling him to “wait”. Needless to say this opportunist of a dog failed. Still, I’m going to work with him on that.
Watered the baby trees.
RAIN! OMGs! RAIN! THUNDER! LIGHTENING! HAIL DONAR!
WOW! It seems both Essie and Toby are afraid of thunderstorms. Both of them hung pretty closely while the storm blew through.
As the 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 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 GIVE
YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
PM Clarification Rune: none
