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).

Rune Lesson: The old adage, “To the victor belongs the spoils” https://www.dictionary.com/browse/to-the-victor-belong-the-spoils rings true. For it is the victor who writes history, not the vanquished. It is the victorious who are the influences either positively or negatively. However it falls, we remain well grounded

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: Fa:
Havamal 146:
The first one promises to help generously

In sorrow, sickness and pain;
In eternal change, man goes forth
From death to new creation.


Generous help, luck, eternal change, forward motion, binding, life/death/life, new creation, property, to grow, to wander, to destroy, to shred, guidance, Father, potential change reflected in a beginning; preface of that which is becoming, being and passing away; procreation, creative father principle, Alle-Vater principle. primal Fire, the power of spirit and change as well as the power of creativity, the Divine Masculine Principle, success, pure, generated fire that acts creatively in love, will that spares manifestation down to the material levels, necessity of change.
“Generate your luck and you will have it” (List, 49).
<>
Rune Lesson: Sometimes there is no choice but to slow down. That is truly what we are feeling right now. It is no doubt necessary to preserve the Self and find the source of our eternal change. However, we know on the other side of this slowing down of activity is generous help.

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!

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.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG: Unverified Personal Gnosis)/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.

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.

Armanen Rune: Gibor:
Havamal 163:
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never

Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.


That which is hidden, awakening, passion, betrothed, self-aware, mystery, secrets kept, the end/conclusion, comprehension of the driving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe, the end.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).
*H3R6; Halbdutzend 3, root 6, Irminsul’s root of re-creation
<>
Rune Lesson: The Havamal is clear:
  1. I’ve never found a man who so freely gave
That he wouldn’t take a gift in return for a gift-
However rich a man might be,
He still likes to be paid back in return.
  1. A man should not be stingy with worldly goods he has gotten
What we save for friends, we often give to enemies: Man’s friendships often turn sour.
  1. With gifts, friendships should be strengthened,
Such as with weapons or fine clothing: Those who exchange gifts will always be friends, So long as they give and take in turn.
  1. A man should always remain loyal to his friends,
Giving a gift for a gift, sharing in their laughter,
But repaying lies for lies.
  1. A man should always remain loyal to his friends,
And so too, loyal to his friend’s comrades
But never seek nor have the friendship for their enemies.
  1. If you have a friend you feel is loyal,
And wish to win and keep his trust,
Open your heart to him, and be generous with gifts,
And seek his companionship often (Germanic Heathenry, A Practical Guide pg. 240)
Any gift, given or received, is absolutely an awakening. Treat all relationships accordingly.

37. One’s own home is best, even if it is a shack:
There, a man is his own lord and master.
It makes the heart bleed to have to beg for every meal.


Germanic Heathenry, A Practical Guide
When we consider the complete ‘picture’, our households are both the folk who comprise them, and the collective deeds of that folk. It should be noted that these ‘collective deeds’ include both good or rightful actions -as those which lend magan of increase and luck (and so benefit or further the household)(pg.12).

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Manostag/An: Mani’s Day, Nirdu/An: Njord/ brother-husband, to Nirda/An: Nerthus/ parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô/An: Frey and the Frouwa/An: Freya, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDA, as we honor the Nirda that resides in us all! HEIL NIRDA Divine Queen! HEIL! HEIL! HEIL!
