Donar/Thor, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, let us advance. When we would be weak, help us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, sharpen our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Help us grow from strength, and teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who appose our will. We honor the Thunar/Thor that resides in us. HAIL THUNAR/THOR!!

Minding my P’s and Q’s; that’s mostly what I did today. Ya ever wonder where that term comes from?

I’ve always been told it’s a matter of “Minding you pints and quarts”, i.e., the first link.
My book, The Book of Rune Secrets” from Amazon.com came today. It’s very basic; definitely not worth the almost $30 it would cost. I bought mine of my sister-in-law’s gift card plus a few bucks. If I would have paid for it all myself I’d be really pissed about now. Ansuz (R)?
I’ve been recollecting about my Coast Guard experience. I found a really great picture of the Sorrel:

Meeka for a late afternoon walk. I don’t think she’s feeling well, but she’s being a trooper.
WOW! Someone rated the aforementioned book five stars. WTF? There’s no way in the world I can let that stand. Here is how I reviewed the book for Amazon.com:
“A cursory glance into this book and I’m not overly impressed. It’s very basic in its Rune knowledge presentation and way overpriced. Luckily I was given gift certificate over the holidays. If I would have paid full price for this I’d be very angry. I don’t know who sets the prices on books but you would do much better with your $30 it takes to get this book to get Diana Paxson’s book on “Taking Up the Runes” at $18.75; better Rune information with better comparisons of other authors. Perhaps extra efforts were placed in the fancy book cover that justifies the expense. Simply put, cost of this book does not
equal any information one would get out of it” (two out of five stars). Ansuz
Amazon.com already posted my review! Cool…
Went into a coughing fit, passed out, scared the fuck out of Audie, got sick, went to bed.
PM Prayer: Scata/Skadi:
Scata/Skadi, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, teach me to know the pleasure of the hunt, the joy of exertion, and the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness. Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi,
grant us the same justice in our lives. Direct us to be strong, able and worthy of you. We honor the Skadi that resides in us. SCATA/Skadi, HAIL!!
PM Rune: none
