Plans: on campus to assist with Merit badges
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 A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!
(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!

Havamal 159.
A fifteenth I know, which Folk-stirrer sang,
the dwarf, at the gates of Dawn;
he sang strength to the gods, and skill to the elves,
and wisdom to Wodan who utters.
Interpretation: Favor (Ansuz) from humanity (Man): PERFEKT!
Outcome: Toby did well on his before-the-crack-o-fucking-dawn 1-mile walk.
If ever a Rune reading was RIGHT-ON it was this one. My involvement on the WATC campus involved Boy Scout Merit Badge day and I was involved with the communication merit badge. Think about it; Ansuz, communication, Boy Scouts, maleness…WOW. Anyway, We held two communication merit badge groups, roughly 20+ boys in both AM and PM sessions. First we had them give a 5 min introduction speech, then a group sales pitch, then a life-changing story. Somewhere in that time we gave them a quick tour of the WATC facility. All-in-all it was a very good experience.
Thank you, brother, for coming over to look in to Toby and the gang.
Okay, really tired…
Pizza Hut delivery…yes, I’m that tired.
A bit of family time on in the front yard. Tonight is the first time I’ve seen any kind of attitude in Essie. I found it extremely comforting. Toby was extremely well behaved. I’m trying to teach him what cat he can get and which one he cannot; more correctly, I’m trying to teach him to go after something on command. Toby so wanted to chase Fish. He cannot get Fish. He’s a good boy. Fat Cat, on the other hand, I turned Toby loose on him. Toby came back properly on voice command.
Abbreviated walk north to the cul-de-sac and Socks was sure to follow.
