Die Irminen Gemeinschaft - Carroll's Blog: Meditations, Runes, and Life in General

August 22nd, 2021

8/22/2021

I think it’s time to take a hiatus from blogging. When I have to continuously play catch-up, it’s a signal to me to place my priorities. Besides, there is SO MUCH information shared over the 7yrs of blogging and examples on how to live a non-racist Heathen life. I come home from work and tend to the most amazing relationship of my life! Don’t get me wrong, I still journal, because journaling has become part of my everyday life. Maybe upon retiring I’ll return to blogging. Until then, it’s break time!

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG: Unverified Personal Gnosis)/Day of Fertility/Saturn’s Day. Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, 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 someday 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.

Havamal 163:
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.

That which is hidden, awakening, passion, betrothed, self-aware, mystery, secrets kept, the end/conclusion, comprehension of the driving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe, the end.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).
*H3R6; Halbdutzend 3, root 6, Irminsul’s root of re-creation

Now I have sung the high song
Here in the hall of the High One,
Useful to the Aryans but not the Jotunar!
Hail to him that learns it!
Hail to him that teaches it!
So take it to your advantage and use
The blessing, as you have heard it!

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!

Armanen Rune: Eh:
Havamal 162:
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law
To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.

Dedication, faithfulness, fidelity, common law/legal marriage, warns against frivolous, transient love affairs, the legal contract between man and woman, lasting love, two bound together by the primal law of life, unification, sanctity of marriage, the cross of wedlock, fulfillment, maintaining strict morals within the bonds of legal marriage, love, duality, bound by primal law, love, trust and marriage. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership, permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.
“Marriage is the raw-root of the Aryans” (List, 63).
*H3R5; Halbdutzend 3, root 5, Irminsul’s root of re-creation
<>
Rune Lesson: The Havamal is quite clear:
36. One’s own home is best, even if it is a shack: There, a man is his own lord and master. To have a straw roof and only a goat or two Is still far better than begging (Coulter translation)

So is “Germanic Heathenry, A Practical guide equally clear:
Our house is so much more than simply just the physical structure of the building; from a practical, ‘social’ point of view, the house typifies the family that inhabits the dwelling itself -it isn’t just the building, but the folk who dwell within that building (normally as kin) which constitute a complete depiction of a given house. (pg.11)
With an agreement like that, nothing else need be said.

You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Dienstag/Ostara/An: Idun, Trustworthy goddess; wife to Brego (who is the adherent god of scalds), keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!

Ing-Frô/An: Frey, 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.

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!
