Plans: we’ll see…
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 MOST A 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!

A ninth I know: when need befalls me
to save my vessel afloat,
I hush the wind on the stormy wave,
and soothe all the sea to rest.
Outcome: Emotions intact, soul at rest; I need that!
Have I ever mentioned I am an EXCELLENT breakfast cook? She had a cheese omelet with bacon while I enjoyed sunny-side-up eggs, home-style potatoes with bacon and toast with jelly.

The Rheinwood Nordliut closed meeting went very well. We all brought in food-stuff, but OMGs, that blackened pork! I made sure the probationer understood what is expected of him and his studies for the year. We also reviewed the NNVs. Then, general Heathen chit-chat. The one member recovering from female surgery was in no real shape to do much of anything. As soon as the meeting was adjourned she went back into the emergency room to get reexamined.

Sleep patterns have been very odd lately.
Ostara, trustworthy goddess; keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a
song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!
