Plans: Niece’s
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 to 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 HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

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.

Interpretation: I really do understand that. To be explained later.
Outcome: Early this morning, I took a rocker out to the Haruc for Socks. I grabbed an old fuzzy cover to place over it. When I went out for Runes and prayers, Socks had already made himself to home on it.
I tried to give Essie a Thanksgiving treat of a fresh can of tuna. SHE TURNED UP HER NOSE AT IT…WTF? I have never seen a cat do that. Okay, she got extra regular treats. So did Toby. Now WTF do I do with this tuna? Socks! OMGs, he was ON IT!
Excellent time with my niece and her family. My nephew-in-law smoked the turkey and there was all the trimmings! Simply OUTfuckingSTANDING!
Checked-in on Socks. He so fully enjoys his fuzzy rocker.
Time with Jamie was excellent. We went over to her house to have Thanksgiving dinner. I brought her back to my home to meet the animals. Toby and Essie went nuts over her, but I think they were a wee bit traumatized by what they saw. They aren’t use to such things…HAHAHAHA.
Well, I’ve created the “6th Annual 12 Days of Yule” event on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/1423771054518977/ and have sent out more than 2,000 invitations. Right at 100 have responded thus far in some form; 90% favorable. Still looking for that LANDSLIDE of people signing-on by the morning.
Okay, my comment on today’s Runes is this. At first I looked at them and went WTF? Sadness, Wunjo, on a day like to day? Then it comes to me. After the death of Father we still had family. However, it’s really sad , Wunjo, how family has become so fragmented after the deaths of Mother and Brother. We don’t ever come together as family anymore other than separate visits here or separate visits there. The Tyr Rune is looking for
regeneration. At this point, I have NO IDEA how this can happen, but sooner or later it has to be.
that the beauty of the prey is formed generation after generation by the culling ferocity of the predator. Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another guise. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WULDAR, as we honor the Wuldar that resides in all of us!
