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.
• no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Russia. Offered up some extra incense to honor that.

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
<>
Elder Rune: Elder Rune: Algiz: Protection/shielding, Heimo (the genetic connection between gods and the Folk), guardian of Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, expansion of archetypal consciousness, acute awareness, divine realizations, an awakening, drawing on the natural Will, invocation/supplication to the gods, preparedness, sanctuary, embracing the Divine plan, a safe harbor, connection with current events, the Elk, or swan.
Conversely:
Outside the favor of Heimo, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, spiritual blindness, inability to embrace fear, failure to face the ultimate good in all things, tested by the natural Will/Universal voice, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what’s coming, an aspect of death, helplessness.

Havamal 150:
That I know as the fifth, should an enemy’s
Arrow come flying into the throng;
As bright as it might clash, I stem its power
Once I firmly fix my eye on it.

Rune Lesson: With Heimo’s example, we have the ability to squelch any incoming challenges. We know we are shielded thru our OWN strength of will. Our consciousness is expanded as we drive forward knowing that we are shielded by the correctness of the wise council given by those who have gone before us.
*from destruction to creation.

Finished moving chips. Irises in the front yard are covered. I may put out a bit later, but that’s enough for today. My main concern was to cover the roots of the blueberry bushes to hold moisture and protect from heat.
