From Germanic Heathenry A Practical Guide:
Walburganaht [Walburga Frouwa’s Night] also: Wælburges, origin of May Day / May Eve.
Walburganaht is one of the most runic -or mysterious- nights within the Irminic year. Walburganaht is long remembered from times of old as a witches’ holiday, one particularly devoted to the patroness of witches, Walburga Frouwa. According to custom, the witches congregate in the mountains and hills, somewhere outside of the town or city, under the full glory of Mano. Balefires are once again lit, as they are on Osatarun preceding. There are a multitude of folk-customs which have come down to us from as early as the late Heathen/early Christian age which have survived in the form of superstitions, normally in forms that detail the warding of one’s self, home, and crops from the workings of the wondrous women. These obviously stem from post-Heathen sensibilities, though they do reflect the sheer power and pure, awesome might of the tide! On Walburganaht, the intensity and might of the Goddess permeates throughout the dark hours, and is furthered in the collective workings of the gathered witch-hosts. All manner of magical operations are especially potent on this night, and the visions/dreams which come to Heathen during this time are especially significant or foretelling (pg. 109)!
​

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: 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: Divine wisdom is acquired by fire and testing. It NEVER comes easily. There is always a price to be paid for it. However, we can take the acquisition of knowledge and use it in our favor. We can play life’s game of seduction and influence. We can intellectually force someone into having second thought about a decision they, or even WE have made. We have the power to change our own minds with new information. That’s not a bad thing.

Back on the duplicators @ work. First thing I was hit with a hot order that someone had previously scrapped, which made no sense because it was so simple; channel material with a single joggle. Nonetheless, I was told that all eyes are on this order. I got it finished and moved it on. I notified my trainer, lead and manager that it was done.

Jan was right to question what the ancestors might think if I did something for Walpurgisnacht around the ancestors’ table. After all, it IS dealing with Witches and they are quite the Mennonite bunch. PERHAPS the Reimer ancestors MIGHT be a bit more liberal, but certainly NOT the Schmidt ancestors. So, in order to keep the peace, I’m opting to just mark the day and call it good I didn’t have anything planned in advance around Agathagart.

Rune Lesson: It is our LUCK, that ever-present, unchanging, frame of our existence, that brings us imperviousness. LUCK is that which brings us any reversal of fortune. We work within our luck rather that strive against it. We maintain our tribal secrets to preserve ourselves. LUCK, brings us loyalty to each other.

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!

Toby, ever since I adopted you 7yrs ago today (Vet's best guess at his age at the time was 5), you have had my heart. At the same time, you have had several health problems; pancreatitis, diabetic ketoacidosis, type 1 diabetes, cataract blindness for 3 months, cataract surgery, and most recently, glaucoma. Just like you give me your love unconditionally, I give it right back to you. Some may not understand why I haven't put you down because of your health concerns. As I have told you, as long as you don't suffer organ failure or have cancer, I will move the heavens and the earth to fix you. Because we are a pack, I can do no less. We are family, and family does not desert the other when in need. I will not abandon you. I look forward to several more years with you. I love you, Toby.

Rune Lesson: As we embrace Ing-Fro, glorious god of this earth, we have the ability to become totally aware of ourselves. To some, this may not seem like much. At the same time, we know there are others who are NOT aware of themselves. We KNOW we are every bit of a Spiritual being, if not more than, a physical being. Our freedom in Ing-Fro affords us the opportunity to become all knowing. We embrace that!

As we improve our social interaction with them and our surrounding environment, we are awakened to the possibilities that surround us. We are married to them. They are married to us.

Rune Lesson: I remember when Frija/Frigga visited me in a vision years before I was in Heathenry or even knew what it was. She appeared to me in my bedroom, long dark hair and a light blue flowing robe. She told me she had something to tell me but she could yet because I wouldn’t understand, and she was gone. The All Mother was foretelling me of my awakening. She kept her secret until she was ready to wrap her Mothering arms around me and show me the way; without hate, without racism. HEATHENRY IS NOT ABOUT RACISM OR HATE. It’s about honoring our ancestors and our Deities equally, well balanced.

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.

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.

“Think about the end” (List, 63).

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Donarstag/An: Thor’s Day/Die [(German for feminine “the”) (pronounced “Dee”)] Wurtâ/An: the Norns:
Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.

That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

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!
