(Arnmond = Harvest Month)

4AM/04:00, you’re so ugly on a Saturday morning.

Plans: ?????????????

AM Meditation: Saturn’s Day/Saturday/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, we meditate on Frouwa and 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!

AM Armanen Rune: Bar:

A thirteenth I mention, when I sprinkle the son,
The young one, with holy water,
If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.

*HEL YES!!!!!!!!!!

Outcome: It’s a beautiful, rain-cooled, dewy, morning. 

Since it was so cool out this morning, I tried to put Essie on her tether
prior to Toby’s walk, but she would have nothing to do with it.

Toby was pretty well behaved on his one-mile walk.

Put up my flags for Labor Day weekend; it’s not that I’m a huge, red, white
and blue flag-waver; rather, I love a nice display.  It looks very nice with two
flags centered on either side of the porch, and a bunting in the center.

Sent in my 23andMe sample.  Here’s hoping I did everything correctly.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA how difficult it was to find a single proper pot to repot my plant.  I wanted to not get on the highway to go to Wal-Mart or Lowe’s, but that’s what I should have done in the first place.  I finally found a proper pot and a future proper hanging pot @ Dollar General for under $6.

PM Meditation: Saga, you’re the goddess of history; 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 some day 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.

AM Elder Rune:
Thurisaz (R): Thorn, Outside the favor of Donar, the strong

AM Armanen Rune: Yr: 
Havamal 160.
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.

Perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Colum, 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 being.

Interpretation: Disruptive opposition (Thurisaz) leading to anger (Yr).

Outcome: Toby ran himself ragged in Meeka Park.

Mowed yard from Wîhstat to the hindmost parts.

One load of sweaty clothes.

Cowardice comes calling.  She didn’t have the nerve to face me herself, so
she has a friend contact me via Facebook.  I was called on the carpet about
mentioning names.  Okay, there might be a point there so I changed it to a first
initial and an underscore.  This “friend” said she’d be over in 20 min for J_’s
things.  Her “things” are on the porch.  It’s been almost 2 hours and nothing. 
I have too much to do, cant wait around to wait on games.  Yepper, Thurisaz and
Yr right here.

I never have seen “The Horse Whisperer” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119314/
until today.  I came in a bit late on it, but from what I saw, I want to watch
it in its entirety.

Separated recyclables 

Oh yeah, the cowardice continues.  Parking at the end of my property, behind
another car and quietly carting off boxes?  JsFnChst!  I must really be an asshole.

112F at the home thermometer, 99F on the tele.  So, somewhere in there lies
the truth.  Checked on Socks in the Cat House.  It must be doing okay in there
because he’s sound asleep on top the table.

To the corner convenience store for a paper: 102F in the car’s thermometer
*now 101 on the tele.

PM Meditation: Eger und Râhana, mysterious keepers of the deep hall at ocean’s bottom, host to the drowned and the sea lost. Your dwelling might be thought sad and gloomy, but you are known to be kind and hospitable ale givers. In your goodness then, cheer us when waves of misfortune pound our life’s fragile boats to the bottom. For even at the bottom, there is warmth, cheer and hope. Be our assurance; be our inspiration to
strive on despite the swells and swirls of fate. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT
HEIL, EGER UND RÂ HANA, as we honor the Eger und Râhana that resides in us all!

(Arnmond = Harvest Month)

Not much traffic in Wichita @ 6:30AM as Toby and I go to McDs for 1st breakfast.
*WTF am I doing up?

Plans: house stuff

AM Meditation: Saturn’s Day/Saturday/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, we meditate on Frouwa and 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!

AM Elder Rune:
Gebo (irreversible): The mystical union of gift and giver, repay gift for gift, a fair exchange between people or gods and the Luck that accompanies it; freely exchanged, contracts, relationships, sometimes sexual, sacrifice, and hospitality, do not take more than we are willing to give, the voluntary sacrifice of resources.

AM Armanen Rune: Os: 
Havamal 148.
The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.

That which is offered, freedom, Wodanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech,
the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship,
discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is
gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a
person needs to rise up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.

Interpretation: A gift (Gebo) leading to freedom (Os)

Outcome: Toby was well behaved on his .6 mile walk.  Even @ .6 miles he was
already turning into a slug-muffin.  It’s just a bit to muggy and warm for him.

A bit more work on Ancestry.com.  Great-great-great grandfather, Peter Jacob
Reimer (1802-63), married to Anna Wiebe (1809-61).
*So, I am now the proud German product of the
Reimer/Schmidt/Hildebrand/Goertz/Hiebert/Zielke/Dirksen/Wiebe families.

Mowed front yard only.  Essie on her tether.  While I was inside getting a
drink, a couple of dogs came by and I think Essie laid-low.  The dogs came by in
the neighbor’s backyard and Toby went nuts.  I hurried out the front door and
Essie came a running.  Putting Essie inside I let Toby out to chase them off. 
Things went well for a bit as butts were sniffed, but all of a sudden, WHAM! 
Toby was serious about protecting his turf.  I called Toby off and he responded
well.  His point was made.  Shortly after that a kid came by on his bicycle
looking for them.  I told him they were around somewhere close, so his search
continued.  After he left I saw the dogs a second time and called the kid back
with my booming voice as he was into the neighborhood to the east.  Thankfully,
he came to collect his animals.

Possibly my last communication with J_:
“Your things have been collected.  I’ll have them on the porch first thing
Monday.  In the meantime, I’d gladly reconsider our relationship when you offer
an apology.  I’ve done nothing wrong to bring us to this point.  You, on the
other hand, failed to communicate to me anything different than our relationship
was on track.  I cannot and will not be held accountable for things about which
I knew nothing.  My conscious is clear in this.  You are completely at fault.  I
await your apology.”
This may seem accusatory, but this is truly how I feel.

Two loads of laundry

Late morning; 2nd breakfast; scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns and turkey bacon.

What an EXCELLENT gift (Gebo) of football/soccer and the freedom (Os) to watch it!

PM Meditation: Nirdu, brother-husband to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, 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!

AM Meditation: Frijastac/Friday, we meditate on Frija:
Frija, Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Hagal: 
Havamal 151.
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.

Eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, the
All-Mother, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that
which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and
fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher
Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to
the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth,
builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.

Interpretation: Honor (Teiwaz) leading to the All-Mother (Hagal).

Outcome: Heil FRIJA auf Frija’s Tag!!!!

Good AM work…aw…someone brought in some doughnuts, I picked the strawberry
filled one.
*OMGs, you should have seen the BEAUTIFUL moth in the shop.  Luckily I found
him before someone else did.  I scooped him up with my hat, but he made his way
onto my hand where he just didn’t want to leave.  I showed him off a bit, then
took him outside where he just did not want to leave my hand.  I placed him on
some pallets outside, turn to go back inside, and just before going inside I
turned back around and he had already flown off somewhere.
<>
Home for lunch, the heat is on, but Socks wanted out.  Okay buddy…
<>
Good PM work…I brought Zippy back out.  Zippy is the dried frog/toad cadaver
I keep in my toolbox.  He was blown out during a clean-up days ago.

Toby’s allergy medication went from $13 to $25...JsFnChst!

Nice cumulus clouds forming…

FUCKING HOT!

PM Meditation: Ostara, trustworthy goddess; keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!
