God/dess Meditation: Die (pronounced “Dee”) Wurtâ:
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: Heimo, 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!

Road trip to Medford, Ok. To retrieve Memorial Day grave goods.  I’ve kept in touch with the caretaker and I know they’re still there.  I took Toby with me.  He enjoyed roaming the small cemetery.  I didn’t worry about his because it’s fenced.  Toby is so funny.  He’s not one to leave his head out regardless.  He KNOWS when I slow down and is ready to stick out his head.  As I accelerative, he’ll tolerate it for a bit, but will soon retract from the window.  My windows go up-n-down to accommodate.
*once home I started calling for Essie to no avail.  Then it hit me:  CRAWLSPACE!  I checked it out, and yup, there’s a bit of gappage where she could access it.  I yanked off the top, which is actually my back porch.  Once I yanked it off, I started calling for her and calling for her.  A few minutes later she poked her head out from inside the crawlspace.  It was all I could do with my sore leg to reach in to grab her to drag her out.  Once the back porch covered the craw-space entry, Essie was on her way inside and right up to her feeding station.  Sometimes it SUCKS to be a fur-dad.

God/dess Meditation: Frouwa & Ing-Frô:
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!

Ing-Frô, 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!

God/dess Meditation: Holle, magnificent German goddess, you who seem to be the perfect counterpart to Alle-Vater Wotan.  Just like Alle-Vater, you come to us with many names.  Just like Alle-Vater, you appear to us with many faces.  You have become known to us through place-names, fairy-tales, sagas, legends, poetry, customs, traditions, mythology, and yes, even food.  You are the young maiden.  You are the Old Crone.  You are everything in between.  You reward the diligent worker.  You punish the slothful.  Your Spirit permeates humankind.  We recognize you as a German Goddess!  Alle Mutter Holle, Goddess holy and wise, We give you a most HEART-FELT HEIL, as we honor the Holle that resides in us all.
