June/Brachmond 21, 2014 Saturn’s Day/Day of Fertility/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, Midsummer

6/21/2014

0 Comments

 
(Brachmond = Fallow Month)

I give HEIL to Midsummer!  It’s the longest day and the shortest night.  From now forward, the days get shorter and the nights get longer as we slide into my favorite time of the year:  AUTUMN!  Why, then, do we call it Midsummer when summer is actually just beginning?  In the old calendar, there were only two seasons; winter and summer.  Summer actually began at the spring equinox, noted be the ability of ships to pull away from the harbor and farmers could start planning their crops.  We call the spring equinox, Summer Finding; hence, the beginning of Summer.  The summer solstice, Mid-summer, then, is mid-way between Sumer Finding and the Autumnal Equinox, or Winter Finding.

Plans: LOTS to do

AM Meditation:  Saturn’s Day/Saturday/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, we meditate
on Frouwa and Ing-Frô :

Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you?  Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa 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 HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!


Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

AM Elder Rune: Gebo (irreversible): The mystical union of gift and giver,
repay gift for gift, a fair exchange between people or gods and the Luck that accompanies it; freely exchanged, contracts, relationships, sometimes sexual, sacrifice, and hospitality, do not take more than we are willing to give, the voluntary sacrifice of resources.


Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today


Picture
AM Armanen Rune: Rit: 
Havamal 149.
That I know as the fifth, should an enemy’s
Arrow come flying into the throng;
As bright as it might clash, I stem it’s power
Once I firmly fix my eye on it.

That which is passing, council, right, wheel, movement, rhythm, law, correctness, judgment, victory over the lower ego, holding, right order, the judge, advice, salvation, money, original law, that which flows away, religious feeling, ritual action/primal laws, orderliness in the world, the ritual, primal law, things that are done correctly, spiritual
feeling, ritual action, journey, Divine law, All justice, Rune of the cosmic rhythm of the worlds, wheels, personal empowerment.

Interpretation: A gift (Gebo) resulting in movement (Rit).

Outcome: Now where the hel did THAT come from?  Was it something I ate?  Is it the result of stress?  Does it explain the way I’ve been feeling lately?  Whatever it was, it certainly wasn’t pleasant; not a great way to start the day.

Toby for a full 1-mile walk, but the last little bit about did him in.
*with a couple hands-full of mulberries.

EVERYBODY out for a bit of morning family front yard time.  It’s so odd not having any trees in the front yard.

Finished drying, folding and hanging the two loads of laundry from yesterday.

Worked on Minna Calendar

Toby seems more relaxed.  His medications are working!

Mowed yard back to the Wî stat.
Break(s)
Mowed to the shed
Break
*gods, I have no energy; this is scary
**napped
Late lunch; something different at Braum’s http://www.braums.com/ 
*Chili and fries with a drink
*Double-dip strawberry shortcake sundae

FINALLY finished the hind portion of the yard early evening.  It was such a jungle, I had to raise the mower to its highest, then mow a second time, some places a third time, where I wanted it to be.

A load of laundry of sweaty, stinky, clothes.

Fucking exhausted.

World Cup http://www.fifa.com/
Argentina v Iran 1-0
Germany v Ghana 2-2 woooooooooooooow…
Nigeria v Bosnia-Herzegovina  1-0

Joseph Campbell’s video series on VHS, “The Power of Myth”, program 1, “The Hero’s Adventure”.  The man was an absolute genius!

Do ya ever just wanna say, FUCK IT ALL??????????? I do.  It’s a sacrifice (Gebo) but this, too will pass (Rit).

PM Meditation: Saga, 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 HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.


PM Clarification Rune: none
