God/dess Meditation: Tuesday/Ziu’s Day/Ziu/An: Tyr
Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing (re: Dienstag/Thing Day), enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. You’re the counterpart to Sunna, the feminine aspect of the sun. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano, let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

My heart just REALLY goes out to the crippled raccoon. He’s the reason I put out morning kibble earlier than usual: so Ghost can eat, then I put kibble on either side of the porch so the crippled raccoon, or others, don’t disturb Ghost while he’s eating. That seems to be a recipe for a successful morning feeding
*George has been at the door to the recycling area two mornings in a row. He WILL get fed there because I know he has been a disruptive kitty during feeding

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Frijastag/An: Frigga’s Day, Heil to you, Forsizo (An: Forseti), son of Paltar and Nanda! You’re the god of justice, and reconciliation. You sit in judgment of the right and wrong of all arguments. We see you as god of the Thing. We call out to you in our time of legal need. We know that justice is a double-edged ax. On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion. On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-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 HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

Conversely:
Problems relating with Heimo and humanity, without cooperation between people, w/o social interaction, the inability to work within a social structure in an effective way, self-delusion, intellectual arrogance/ignorance, bigotry, inability to make peace with others, destructive social nature, closed mindedness, failed social interaction and disorder; anti-social behavior and lack of Divine structure.

Armanen Rune: Hagal:
Havamal 152:
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.

To actively protect/enclose/destroy, danger brought under control, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother/Center of the Rune Tree, the cohesion of the world, die (pronounced ‘dee’ German for ‘the’) Alle Mutter, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.
“Harbor the All in yourself, and you will control the All” (List, 54).

Rune Lesson: It is an absolute must that we expand our intellect to bring all danger under control. Simple as it sounds, it’s our social interaction is that which brings into contact with others makes us acutely aware of the world around us. We celebrate Heimo and his overwhelming protection!
*from re-creation to destruction. Still, we hope.

Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.

That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

Elder Rune: Ansuz: In favor of the gods, Wodan specifically, the Divine Father, Wodanic wisdom, Divine communication, the Athem - Divine/vital breath, the force of creation, taking inventory of one’s Tru Spirit and spiritual balance, a higher source of inspiration, communication skills and divine ancestry, higher consciousness, mental stability, self-discipline, the loving/bright/compassionate Alle-Vater, spiritual balance.
Conversely:
Outside the favor of Alle-Vater Wodan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wodanic wisdom/Divine communication, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, spiritual shunning, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, tough-love Fathering, the absent All-Father, the shadow/dark/mysterious side of Alle-Vater Wodan.
