Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of
Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty
and good. Excite our growth from strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST
HEART-FELT HAIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Two Runes
Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.
Excitation, mysteries, sacrifice, rebirth of the Sun god, fertility and/or destruction, creation, excitation, power, success, wisdom, duties fulfilled, art of concealment and hiding, rebirth into the light - life of the soul, the power to make situations turn completely around, wisdom, spiritual understanding, the power of generation, warrior strength, justice, balance, personal sacrifice of the father, resurrection/reincarnation/born again; “Do not fear anything, even dying cannot kill you.

A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,
To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.
Perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Colum, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine being.
Utterance: HAGALAZTYRYR!!!!!!!!!!
Interpretation: Change (Hagalaz) that comes with rebirth (Tyr) gives well-grounded-ness.
Outcome: Toby was doing very well on his one-mile walk until the very end where he took it upon himself to chase Socks from across the street. I verbally berated him and brought him back to the intersection where he had to right his wrong.
I have to again start exercising, but I must remain cognizant of my umbilical surgery. This is getting ridiculous.
Utilizing Dynamic Tension from my early Charles Atlas days.
*plank (amazed me)
*push-ups (I’m so pathetic)
*bicep press/triceps resistance
*deep squats (weightless)
**3 sets of eight
Toby’s veterinary visit went well I think. Dr. says when you bring in your animal, bring poop. Toby was kind enough to provide a fresh specimen this morning on his walk. Nothing was said of obvious intestinal worms and results of the heartworm test will come later. Toby weighed in at 51lbs.
Abbreviated groceries because I just don’t need that much:
*Aldi
*Dillons
*Dillons petrol
Return trip to Air Cap Vet for ear mite meds. Dr. put in some extra soothing agent in case there was some rawness; medicine went in immediately. Certainly they didn’t like it, but they’ll feel better in the long run.
Air Cap Vet called to let me know Toby’s heartworm test is negative: YAY!

Hmmm…I experimented a bit more with Malt-o-Meal at the prodding from a good friend. I’ve tried this before but wasn’t too crazy about it. This time, I made a water/milk mixture (for richness, according to the box) and topped it with syrup (also suggested by the box). MUCH more palatable.
WOW…that little green chair…feet up…ZZZzzzZZZzzz…

As the son of Paltar and Nanda, we call out to you in our time of legal need. You’re the god of justice and reconciliation. We know that justice is a double-edged ax. On the one side, if our argument is right, grant us the proper conclusion. On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, meat-out justice
accordingly. Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
