10th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Self-Reliance
Depend on the efforts of your own handiwork. Make sure you are the total sum of your
own achieved goals. Do not create codependent relationships in any way. Do not
let your happiness, or your success, be determined by anyone else. Be responsible for yourself. Rely on your own efforts to secure your needs, for it is only as we build upon success after success will we be truly satisfied (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).
Greetings to you Sunna, in all your feminine, fertile glory; Lamp of Wodan,
newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us,
and who will yet 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 GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the
Sunna that resides in us all!

A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Paid my respects to Mary Kay and family at the loss of Greg. WOW! SOOOOOOOO
many people I haven’t seen in decades. There were a couple of them I could have
used several more decades before ever seeing them again (smug). Greg’s funeral is tomorrow.
As much as I respect the bereavement process, there’s always a certain amount of unpleasantness (Pertho) to it. At the same time, I know there is a spiritual awakening (Is) to it, too.
Bag of trash over to brother’s
I am being called upon to do a Rune reading.
Lazy evening…early to bed
mysterious keepers of the deep hall at ocean’s bottom, host to the drowned and the sea lost. Your dwelling might be thought sad and gloomy, but you are known to be kind and hospitable ale givers. In your goodness then, cheer us when waves of misfortune pound our life’s fragile boats to the bottom. For even at the bottom, there is warmth, cheer and hope. Be our assurance; be our inspiration to strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, EGER UND RÂ HANA, as we honor the Eger und Râ hana that resides in us all!
