8th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Discipline
Discipline is a training to obey rules, a code of behavior or a branch of knowledge. It’s a
method of systematic instruction intended to train a person within a given idea
or method. Our Way is not an easy way. In many aspects, we fly in the face of
the society around us. Be disciplined enough to stay Tru to the ideals of
Heathenry as they unfold in your life. Be diligent in the study of your beliefs.
Endeavor to honor the gods and goddesses of the Northern Germanic peoples
(Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).
Plans: Wedding prep, Liut/Kindred brother over.
Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home. 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. WE GIVE
YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.
That which is offered, freedom, Wodanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech,
the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship,
discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is
gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a
person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.
Interpretation: Enemies (Thurisaz) leading to Kinship (Os).
Outcome: Toby’s walk was not pleasant. We went back to those interconnecting
alleyways south of McCormick street. We came out not to far from Blackey’s (a
German Shepherd) house. That was where Mr. Opportunist took absolute control of
Toby. It was as if Toby went totally stupid. ARGH! He refused to respond at
all. I’ve NEVER had to raise my voice to him as I did this morning. Luckily,
Toby didn’t get his face-to-face verbal berating, but he certainly needed it.
MY KINDRED/LIUT brother showed up! We made a quick run to the grocery store
for some items. Then, he made us some of his famous killer chili! OMGs it was
so good! He also had a couple of free passes to the movies. We saw “47 Ronin”
