I don’t know why or how but I have $55+ just sitting in my PayPal account. I’m having that transferred to my bank account to buy some books from Amazon.com:
The Elder Eddas of Saemund Sigfusson Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson
Moon Signs: The Key to Your Inner Life
Schisse; the German You Were Never taught in School
The interesting thing about the first one is I have never seen a book with the Younger and Elder Eddas together. The second fascinates me because I am more and more looking inward than outward. The third? Well, it’s one I’ve wanted ever since college German class.
Morning online time since Audie went back to bed was spent searching info on the Julleuchter:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julleuchter
http://gamall-steinn.org/irmen/hj-julle.htm
http://www.reference.com/browse/Julleuchter
http://www.enotes.com/topic/Julleuchter

…but I think the most telling of its actual use is here:
http://www.stengerhistorica.com/ArchivalResearch/Julleuchter.htm
…which tells me by the time the Third Reich came along the Julleuchter already had the history of being in use by German ancestors. Once again an example of how the Third Reich bastardized many things Heathen.
Shopped for Audie’s V-Day present…hehe…
It was another EXCELLENT Rheinwood Hearth Kindred closed meeting. We are all much stronger for it! FYI: A closed meeting is reserved for blood oath sworn members or probationers.
Personally, I am stronger and am ready for next weeks’ challenges!
PM Prayer: Scata/Skahdi:
Scata/Skahdi, 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. Brand my soul with wind-burn, so that even in the tedium of daily life, I will feel your warm breath, warm on my check, telling me to be strong, able and worthy of you. SCATA/SKAHDI, HAIL!!
PM Rune: none
