I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Man: 
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.
“Be a man” (List, 61).

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!

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.

Outcome: 7hrs of sleep, one wakeup, and some jittery Lily loving because I think Jasmine was ibn the room.

Brief wifey conversation.

A banana + 3-eggs scrambled with sausage and cheese + multigrain toast with strawberry jelly.
*note to Self; don’t ever again get multigrain bread.

Thunder; noise, but no storm.

Note to Self; Toby’s 11:45am feeding and insulin.

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.

Last of yesterday’s casserole for a quick lunch.

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…

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?

God/dess Meditation: Friday, Frija’s Day, Frija:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far-seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!  HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
