Havamal 160:
A fourteenth I know, Volkrast, the dwarf,
Sings early at the gates of dawn,
To strengthen the Aesir, to empower the Alves,
But to myself, All-Father, to gain wisdom.
Strength, that which is rising, magical empowerment, acquisition of Divine wisdom, propagation of the human race, encompasses both the exoteric and the esoteric concepts of humanity, great gain, male mysteries/leadership, manly actions, pulling down the spiritual into material form, human/humanity, increase, masculinity, health, plenty, magic, spirit, truth, God-Man, male principle in Cosmos, birth, health, increase, maleness and man, Divine man, male principle in Cosmos, magic power, thaumaturgy, true self, the resurrected god, the upper part of the world tree, Irminsul, Rune of spiritual powers, of directing Manna powers; the sacred Rune of humankind encouraging us to be human.

Rune Lesson: I went in search of something that had the Runes in their proper order that told the story of creation; unsuccessful, but I KNOW within that story is showed Uruz as the stabilizing force within it. In the Heathen way, it’s an amazing thought that but for the Runes, creation would not have happened. It’s the stabilization of creation that brought strength to it. The Cosmic Cow, Audumbla, that rose from the primordial frost and fed Ymir, is an AMAZING look at gaining strength. The Runes, within the creation life cycle, encourages us to be both stable, strong, and to SING BEFORE THE ALL about it. WOW!

Toby and I headed out for a trust/training walk. It was only sprinkling initially, but two blocks away from home it became a downpour. We had to take refuge under the overhang at the neighborhood church. As we waited for the rain to subside, their preacher drove up. I know him to be a good guy. I know he likes Toby. We talked for a bit as we had in times past, then the deluge started! The preacher offered to give Toby and I a lift home, that we gladly accepted.

Watched Rocky Horror Picture Show; Let’s do the Time Warp Again https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267299/ that I purchased in 2016 but have never fully watched. It has its good points and its points. When it’s good, it’s REALLY good. When it’s bad…whew…

2 hrs. of Ghost Whisperer on Start TV (OTA)

It’s just so funny to see how Jasmine reacts to Socks and how Socks tries to be so cool around Jasmine. Oh, they’ve never come in contact other than tru the glass or an open window. I don’t know how it could be safely arranged, but I think it would prove interesting.

Out for my own 30min walk. WOW! How long has it been since I’ve gone out for a walk after dark?

HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
