Plans: gotta find work soon…
All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ . WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
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: Two Runes
And
social contacts, loser, miserable, loneliness, shunning, weakened family ties, social and domestic disharmony, the inability to attain a wish, strife,
alienation, failed social relationships, Fridu is challenged, the shadow side of Wodan.
Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way

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 regeneration, warrior strength, justice, balance, personal sacrifice of the father, resurrection/reincarnation/born again; “Do not fear anything, even dying cannot kill you. Better to die than to be dead alive” (Gorsleben).
Interpretation: Loyalty (Ehwaz) overcomes sadness (Wunjo) leading to a situation turning completely around (Tyr). Gods, I sure hope so.
Outcome: 35F/2C, overcast with a stout north wind. It’s the first time I got out my winter coat (w/o the lining) for Toby’s perfektly behaved one-mile walk.
LOTS of job searches.
As I was finishing my application to JCP http://www.jcpenney.com/ Adecco called letting me know she forwarded my info to UTC Aerospace. I opted to wait a few days for a shot at better pay per hour rather than take the lower paying warehouse job immediately.
My niece called saying she knew of someone wanting to get rid of their stove as she knows my oven is out. It should be here Friday. I’m taking it sight unseen.
We have had our second freeze, not a hard freeze but fir sure a freeze. The garden has become stagnant. I harvested every possible tomato and pepper that I could then pulled all plants.
Front yard family time minus Socks, who was comfy-cozy in the Haruc.
UEFA Champions League http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/index.html
Chelsea 3:0 Schalke04 (WHAT?)(monitored on http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/index.html)
Borussia Dortmund 0:1 Arsenal (WTF?)(on usagoals.com)
Et al…
My insurance agent sent me a letter notifying me of forthcoming rate increases, asking me to contact his office to discuss options. One thing in my favor was I have a fairly new roof placed on from the last hail storm. Of course, the option was to raise my deductible. Whatever it takes to survive.
Once again I have to mention how much I love my niece; not for the things she does, but because she is honestly a goddess walking on this earth. There is not another woman like her. Her kindness is beyond measure.
MLS Playoffs http://www.mlssoccer.com/
Eastern Conference
NY 1:2 Houston (on usagoals.com)(Houston advances on aggregate on 4:3 aggregate)
Sporting Kansas City 3:1 New England (usagoals.com)(SKC wins/advances, 4:3 on aggregate)
Some seriously shitty connection problems. Started watching both of them on usagoals.com but totally lost connection. Even monitoring them on mlssoccer.com was questionable; kept loosing connection there, too.
show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness. Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Aesir for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives. Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
PM Clarification Rune: none
