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!
Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar
(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!

An eighth I know: which all can sing
for their weal if they learn it well;
where hate shall wax 'mid the warrior sons,
I can calm it soon with that song.
Interpretation: Clarity of thought (Kenaz) would be nice, coupled with Fate (Nod)…okay!
Outcome: It was balmy with a south breeze yesterday. Today, there’s a north breeze, it’s overcast and chilly.
Toby was very well behaved on his .6 mile walk. I think he’s realized we taken the shorter rout for the last couple of days because I haven’t been well. Two places he indicated he want to keep going for the 1-miler. Reluctantly, he obeyed my voice commands.
Still not with it. Late morning nap. Slept in ‘till noon.
UGH…
Awww…Socks was up in my lap twice just like old times. He sits in my lap then extends his paws forward to my neck. He hasn’t done that since…well…I don’t know how long. Essie has been exceptionally affectionate, too. Toby has been demanding of my attention. I LOVE IT!

It’s trying to snow. It’s trying to sleet. Nothing so far.
I may still feel like shit, but I nonetheless took Toby on a second .6 mile walk. I took him down a couple of roads we have never investigated. There were so many new smells for him. He was just beside himself, yet he responded accordingly to voice commands. I’m telling ya, that dog has boundless energy in the cold. It’s so much fun to watch him run.
Okay, so my cold has pretty much run its course. Now the cough persists.

I actually watched a bit of American football tonight, too: Baltimore Ravens @ Denver Broncos. I don’t recall the score but I know the Ravens won in overtime.
You’re the goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past. Whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes
and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to
pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU
A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
