God/dess Meditation: Wednesday/Wodan’s Day/Wodan/An: Odin;
Alle-Vater Gott! Wandering god! Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter. Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wodan, as we honor the Wodan 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.

“Marriage is the raw-root of the Aryans” (List, 63).
*H3R5; Halbdutzend 3, root 5, Irminsul’s root of re-creation
<>
Rune Lesson: Our home is SO important to us as a married couple. We live and dwell in lasting love. Germanic Heathenry, A Practical Guide, by Hjuka Coulter, speak well to the importance of our Heathen home:
For the Irminic family, the house and household are both the source and the ‘last bastion’ of true frith, hospitality (in all of its Heathen sense) and that which is good and whole. As they say, ‘there’s no place like home’, and in a good, Irminic home nothing else rings quite so true. While even many Irminen may not ever ponder just what the house/ home truly is or embodies, they still have a better understanding and appreciation for what that underlying truth is (once they do in fact pause to consider it) and beyond all else, can fully discern and appreciate the holiness which is the Irminic house and home (11).

God/dess Meditation: Tuesday/Ziu’s Day/Ziu/An: Tyr
Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing (re: Dienstag/Thing Day), enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

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!

God/dess Meditation: Monday/Moon’s Day, Mano/An: Mani, god of the moon:
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. You’re the counterpart to Sunna, the feminine aspect of the sun. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano, let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!

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.

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.

Rune Lesson: TRUST! TRUST! TRUST! We trust in the Wodanic energies before us. With Wodan as our example, we know there is that harmony of existence with the gods. We relish that kind of companionship. Wodan frees us from the bondage of that which may have control over us. We are in control of our own destiny.
*from re-creation to creation. New is new again.

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!
