Armanen Rune: Rit:
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: What is it we need to overcome incoming challenges? What is it we need to gain our strength of Will? What is it we need to squelch any attack? The answer to those questions is quite simple, really. We stand shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, never backing down!

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!
*source: combination AFA Book of Uncommon Prayers, and C.Reimer/V.Elmersson
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!

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.

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. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership, permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.
“Marriage is the raw-root of the Aryans” (List, 63).
*H3R5; Halbdutzend 3, root 5, Irminsul’s root of re-creation
<>
Rune Lesson: Our marriage is protected. We have that Divine awakening that tells us what we have is well as long as we remain faithful. Just as Heimo sounds his horn when he sees approaching danger to Ensigart, so we have to be that way with each other. We stand side-by-side, bound together in love.

Rune Lesson: Luck, that ever-present, inherited, fixed part of us, influences others to the point that causes them to have second thoughts. Our influence is HUGE as we take on our hidden potentials. We can conquer our foes with confusion as we reveal our secrets cautiously.

Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

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.

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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

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.

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: Hagalaz: The cosmic seed of potential, a sacred enclosure/shell, breaking things down before they can be useful, shaping, evolution, sacred protection within, holiness, a type of Godotuom; destruction/regeneration, evolution, destructive elements, unavoidable unpleasantness, pruning, potentially destructive but change will occur on its own given time. Embrace the necessary destruction. Don’t rail against it. Benefit from it.
*A2R1; Aett 2, root 2, Yggdrasil’s root of destruction

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: Rit:
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.

*H1R5; Halbdutzend 1, root 5, Irminsul’s root of creation

Rune Lesson: The Hagalaz is always problematic. While hail destroys, it is also regenerative; the ice shell destroys, the melting replenishes. Coupled with Rit, we know that all will be well. Our own strength of will will face any challenges that Hagalaz brings.
*from destruction to creation. What is destroyed is 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.
