God/dess Meditation: Alternate Sunnastag/An: Sun’s Day, Paltar/An: Balder, you’re the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija. Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life. Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!

A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me

Rune Lesson: As we move forward, it is ESSENTIAL that we remain calm. Anxiety or anxiousness will stifle the move. Our journey in this life may, and undoubtedly will, endure a sea of storm weather.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG)/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.

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.

Rune Lesson: As we are enlightened we become totally aware of our Spiritual Selves. Not only that but we we are more completely able to discern the difference between what is right or wrong. We come into the light of day fully aware of the causality of our situation. We know we cannot worry about the future. We can’t do anything about the past. The only causality we can deal with is the here and now. Causality can be both a blessing and a bane, depending on how we deal with it, but dealing with causality in the light gives us a greater chance for good.

Rune Lesson: Our maternal instincts grants us the opportunity for discernment. As a matter of fact, it is the All Mother in our lore who knows much but share little. While I was still in Wicca and ignorant, really, of Heathen ways, I had a vision that attested to this. We are healed by the All Mother. The All Mother is wise beyond measure and we depend on her examples.
*from re-creation to creation. Our born again experience is complete.

Fell asleep in the recliner again. I know JA becomes concerned when I do that. I woke up to the sound of BEEP-BEEP-BEEP and flashing lights with all sorts of equipment at the corner. WTF?

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Wodanstag/An: Odin’s Day. Heimo/An: Heimdall, HEAR ME! Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods. 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. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

Armanen Rune: Yr:
Havamal 161:
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,

To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.


Lust/desire, seduction, reluctance, influence, second thoughts, a change of heart, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, well grounded, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).
*H3R4; Halbdutzend 3, root 4, Irminsul’s root of re-creation

Rune Lesson: Fridu (overwhelming peace and security) can always be challenged; however, as we hang onto our influence, fridu can be returned t some kind of normality. Guided by the examples of Ing-Fro, any heart can change the demeanor of anyone into a GLORIOUS situation full of wholesomeness, peace and security.

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.

“Marriage is the raw-root of the Aryans” (List, 63).
*H3R5; Halbdutzend 3, root 5, Irminsul’s root of re-creation

Rune Lesson: There is a rejuvenated interest in marriage. The healing process has given way to a serious love affair. One is dedicated to the other and we nurture each other completely. We have grown into a symbiotic relationship where we compliment each other. It’s an interesting component of these two Runes where we see life anew as we go forward with lasting love.

God/dess Meditation: Saturday/Saturn’s Day/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit/Day of Fertility (UPG), Ing-Frô/An: Frey & Frouwa/An: Freya:
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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. 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!

Armanen Rune: Gibor:
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.


The scald, awakening, passion, mystery, secrets kept, the end, 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).

Rune Lesson: As we expand our consciousness we are awakened to the new possibilities that surround us. We go forward with passion, encouraged by the social structure with our friends and families. The kinship we all share represents our ability to work well within its social structure.
*from re-creation to re-creation, we are constantly born again.

God/dess Meditation: Friday/Frija’s Day/An: Frigga’s Day:
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!
