Rune Lesson: Divine Wisdom is inherent in Wodan. He was all about doing what is necessary to obtain wisdom far and wide. He sacrificed his eye for overwhelming knowledge and himself on the World Tree for Runic wisdom. We ALWAYS have to keep in mind that wisdom comes with a price. The major question is, what are WE willing to sacrifice for wisdom and what level are we willing to take it?

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!

Rune Lesson: Heimo is a most AMAZING god! Of Heimo it is said:
The Eternal Watcher and master of Gellanhorn1 is a son of Wodan and the Nine Waves, the daughters of Eger and Râhana. Heimo is the trusted and able sentry who wards Ensigart and the bridge (Ensiweg) which connects the shining realm of the Gods to the world of man. His hall, Himilberg (Heaven Mountain) stands upon the crest of the glimmering rainbow span. Heimo requires little or no sleep and can see for countless leagues by either the light of day or darkness of night. His extraordinary hearing compliments his amazingly keen sight - he can hear the grass growing in the gardens as well as the wool growing upon the sheep! As the divine hero Iring, he walked among our most ancient fathers, and brought to them social order and civilization. He laid the foundations for the various tribal cultures, and gifted each with a unique set of keys to the understanding of the deepest mysteries of those cultures and of their divine roots2. Since times long past, Heimo has been recognized in his capacity as an intermediary between Gods and men, a holy and treasured connection or conduit between man and the divine or between the condition of man/mankind and divinity (Germanic Heathenry, A Practical Guide, 62-63).
With attributes like that, how can we NOT be healed? We take HIS attributes and become all-knowing. With his attributes, we grasp onto our enlightened spiritual Self.
*from destruction to creation. We carry onward.

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!

Ok, this is the last time that’s going to happen. I leave kibble out in the recycling area for night visitors. I put it in a bowl atop the recycling bins so Toby doesn’t have access to it overnight. For the last several mornings I wake up to see two recycling containers dumped over. SO, I am taking the bowl OFF the top, spreading ONE container sideways, placing the bowl ON the table, but still up from Toby. Hopefully this is the cure.

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.

Then to me her wishes turn.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Frijastag/An: Frigga’s Day, Heil to you, Forsizo (An: Forseti), son of Paltar and Nanda! You’re the god of justice, and reconciliation. 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!

Havamal 154:
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.


Calm in the face of distress, comfort, hypnotic power of the forceful will, course of affairs, Rest, Ego, das Ich, Positivity, activity, personal will, self-domination, self-control, confidence, determination, extension of the Divine center, the upright human being, the awakened Self, influence, personal power, magical power, power to banish evil, unity in the Universe, duration, action in the Cosmos, activity, will, self-domination, influence, personal power, self-discipline, unity in the Universe, duration, magical powers, axis/column/Irminsul of the world, action in the Cosmos, elimination of that which is unnecessary, calm.

Rune Lesson: We HAVE the ability to take action. Sometime no action at all necessary. We know the difference. As we remain stable we know we can remain calm in the face of distress. We can endure anything thru our own hypnotic power of our forceful Will. We take comfort knowing our vital strength is derived from within ourselves as we are determined to expand our Divine Self.

To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.

That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.

Useful to know in their suffering;
Where hatred rises-up between man and man,
This I can settle fast.


Distress, suffering, compulsion of fate, separation, confrontation, strife settled, understanding suffering, settled calm, mind over matter, necessity of fate, misery and death, change of luck as necessity, decision of the Wurtâ, Wurt/Urlag paid-for, cause-effect relations, capability to restructure Wurt/Urlag, That which cannot be averted, the Ur-law that is active in every creature, stress, karmic debt, karmic need, but with outlook for change of karma, banishing ill fortune by means of accepting karma and karmic law, Skuld, Divine justice that balances.

Rune Lesson: The only way these two Runes work together, as far as I’m concerned, is to see it as inner strength settling strife. We have to have a backbone to understand suffering, not only in ourselves, but also in others. We have to overcome obstacles in order to bring a change of luck.

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.

God/dess Meditation: Sunday, Sunna’s Day, Sunna, goddess of the Sun:
(changing up my Sunna meditation)
Hail the rising of the Sun! Great Goddess, bestower of all good things. Shining brightly, you traverse the heavens
driving back the blanket of night. Mighty Sunna, be my pace-setter. Help me to structure my day rightly with time to work and time to play. Let me not lose myself to the hammering call of all that has to be done. Help me to follow Your rhythms, for You are wise and practical. Your presence blesses us all.

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

Rune Lesson: The purpose of the harvest is to feed the tribe. Without a good harvest there id distress and suffering. So it behooves everyone involved to work with nature and produce a good of a harvest as possible. As we take note of every cause and effect we can produce a change of luck that brings a settled strife.

God/dess Meditation: Saturday/Saturn’s Day/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit/Day of Fertility (UPG: Unverified Personal Gnosis), 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!
