Plans: rest, call TRA HQ to set up TRA benefits for 2013, take paperwork and grades to local TAA office, focus on prep for Rheinwood Yule.
7th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Hospitality
Welcome those into your house and your life as you can. In today’s world, we cannot
trust everyone with whom we come in contact, but we can exercise caution and be as welcoming as possible. Be generous in your offering of food, ale and lodging to those you have welcomed. Similarly, be a proper and respectful guest when you are welcomed.
All-Father God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to
Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; 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 HAIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!

A second I know, which the son of men
must sing, who would heal the sick.
Interpretation: With the right action (Jera) comes permanence (Ur).
Outcome: Toby came so close to violating on his 1-mile walk, but he responded very well to a sternly worded voice command.
I started calling the TRA people in Topeka right after 08:00/8AM. Nothing like feeling ignored by someone or something hanging-up on me.
Hand-carried my grades and mileage to the Workforce Center. It would have been nice to visit with my TAA rep, but she’s gone all week.
Finally got through to the TRA people in Topeka enough to leave a message. If they don’t call back by mid afternoon I’ll try again.
Suit to cleaners
Pulled the space heater from the house to the Haruc. Took the new space heaters out of their boxes and strategically placed them in two rooms.
McDs for lunch…now my set of vintage McDs glasses is complete.
Well, I’m incurring more expense for Yule when I thought someone else was taking care of it.
Prepared gifts from Rheinwood’s stash
Once again called the TRA benefits office in Topeka; once again left a message. I think this is going to be more difficult than I thought it was going to be.
To Wal-Mart http://www.walmart.com/, this time with a gift card; more Yule prep.

Mead run
My hope is for today’s right actions (Jera) produce a Harvest that is honored by the All-Mother (Ur).

The 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 the Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
PM Clarification Rune: none
