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!

It was proving day at work. Initially I could not understand WHY I wasn’t getting it even with MY OWN written instructions. However, I noticed too many scribbles, cross-outs and corrections. I pulled the lead man over and asked him to go over with me, STEP BY STEP, the process. Once I had better, clearer instructions, by the end of the day, I ran two orders with little supervision. It’s not as scary as it once was.

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 extra incense to honor that.
*offered up some tobacco for Granny Aggie

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.

Rune Lesson: “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 (Germanic Heathenry; A Practical Guide, pg 11).


“He who wishes to gain a woman’s love
Should speak with charm, and not withhold his gifts:
Praise the beauty of the lovely girl- he who charms will prevail (Havamal 92)..
Heathenry is chock-full of words of wisdom. The only dilemma stems from those who choose NOT to study our way. Many choose to not participate in studying lore. I, on the other hand, hold dear to what has been established before me.
*from re-creation to re-creation. We are made new.

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.
