(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End Month)


Plans: work 10hrs

Picture
AM Meditation: Ziustac/Tuesday, we meditate on Ziu:
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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 our 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 A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Rit:

Havamal 149.
That I know as the fifth, should an enemy’s

Arrow come flying into the throng;

As bright as it might clash, I stem it’s power

Once I firmly fix my eye on it.


That which is passing, council, right, wheel, movement, rhythm, law, correctness, judgment, victory over the lower ego, holding, right order, the judge, advice, salvation, money, original law, that which flows away, religious feeling, ritual action/primal laws, orderliness in the world, the ritual, primal law, things that are done correctly, spiritual feeling, ritual action, journey, Divine law, All justice, Rune of the cosmic rhythm of the worlds, wheels, personal empowerment.


Interpretation: Joy (Wunjo) leading to movement (Rit).


Outcome: Today will be the first day in a long time Toby will be spending a full 10hr day outside. His bad behavior and my inability to trust him unsupervised inside has brought this upon him.


Good AM work; hoping two meetings will be beneficial.
*Wunjo/Rit?

AM Meditation: Manostac/Monday, we meditate on Mano, 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. 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.

Interpretation: Questions of the home (Othilla) leading to the IRMINSUL!


Outcome: Socks out, Socks back into his Cat House.


Good AM work. New hire in the shop; odd, I thought they weren’t going to hire on 1st shift.

*I forgot about the meeting of the minds. Both L_ and I went from the shop. I think we had some good input, depending on follow-thru.

Lunch provided by the company for attending the meeting; Jimmy John’s https://www.jimmyjohns.com/ and will be repeated tomorrow. I grabbed mine and went home with it. Well WTF? Socks wasn’t interested, Toby was lackadaisical and Essie was nowhere to be found. I’m beginning to think my lunch visits are unwelcome.

Good PM work.


Stopped off at Dillons for two of the most important things in life; at and sugar!


Okay, this time Toby pissed me off. When Toby is unsupervised, I make sure to close doors and pull closed the indoor gate. Either I forgot to close the bathroom door or didn’t close it well enough. Toby had meticulously pulled several things out from the wastebasket without tipping it over and scattered things all over. This is his second offense of this nature. That settled it; unless there’s inclement weather, Toby stays outside and I don’t come home for lunch.

*Othilla and Yr right here.


Strengthening exercises routine #1

*abs, 4 sets of 25

*curls, 3 sets of 10, 20lb dumbbells

PM Meditation: Sibba, Great Goddess of Fertility and Family, wife of Donar; let us see you in all the growing things that sustain our lives. Help us look beyond the packaging and promotion, to the richness of the Earth from which all bounty comes. When ordinary eyes see only corn, let us see your golden hair hid in its silk. When others see only bread, let us see the grain, beyond that, your smile and laughter. Feed our might and main, Holy Sibba, that we may do our work in the world. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SIBBA, as we honor the Sibba that resides in us all!

(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End Month)

I’m not sure when I let Toby out to potty, but he woke me up @ 3AM via
barking to let me know he wanted in.  It seems that sleep wasn’t forthcoming
until Essie crawled up my side and laid across my shoulder for loving.  I slept
two more hours.

Plans: GPRF

Picture
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!

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.

Interpretation: Gift (Gebo) leading to Fate (Not).

Outcome: Socks out, Socks back into his Cat House.  He just needs to stay dry.
*Toby is staying inside this morning.

Good AM work; it looks like I’m going to be involved with a meeting of the minds to express my thoughts.
*Gebo/Not right here.
Good home for lunch.  Where’s Essie.
Good PM work, but the parts I was working on frustrated the hel out of me.

To Air Capital Veterinary for Essie’s flea meds.

Socks just does not want to come out from his Cat House.

Where the hel is ESSIE?  Was last night’s thunderstorm that serious? 

Essie finally came out of wherever she hides.  I made a syringe of her medication and gave it to her.  She appears none the worse for wear.

Okay, somehow I’m going to have to reinvigorate my interest in strengthening exercises soon or I’m going to lose it.  I’m pretty disappointed in myself.  I thought I’d do okay with this.

Shower and bed

PM Meditation: Brego, long-bearded god; son of Wodan and Gunnlod; husband of Ostara; you’re the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds.  You have the Runes carved on your tongue.  Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead.  Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver cup called Bregofull; we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to the gods and ways of our ancestors.  We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the fullest.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, BREGO, as we honor the Brego that resides in us all!

Oh 3AM, you are SO evil.

Plans: work 10hrs

AM Meditation: Ziustac/Tuesday, we meditate on Ziu:
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, 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 our 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 A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

September/Skeidentimond 21, 2014 Manostac, Winter Finding

9/22/2014

0 Comments

 
Not much time; a quick post

(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End Month)

In the old Norse calendar, there were only two seasons, winter and summer. 
Both of them started at the Equinoxes.  So, actually, today is the first day of winter. 

After I posted journal to blog:
*Vikings, season 1, episode 5, on DVD
*Mt Hope brother brought his payment!!!!!!!!!!

Plans: work 10hrs, finally get the OKC aid straight

AM Meditation: Manostac/Monday, we meditate on Mano, 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.  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!

AM Armanen Rune: Ar: 
Havamal 153.
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.

Confidence, Ing-Frô, still, comfort, the Sun, the path to the Light, will,
leadership, all that which is beautiful and Sun-like, change to good, virtues,
honor, glory, rewarding work, completion, light, Divine spirit, power contained
in light that washes away darkness, wisdom, beauty, virtue, trust, honor, fame,
Rune of the initiate, Symbolism of the Lord of the Light-elves that returns home
from darkness, Rune of peace and good seasons.

Interpretation: Intuition (Kenaz) leading to wisdom (Ar).

Outcome: NOW it turns cool after Toby and I could have used it last weekend on the walk.

Better AM work
Cooperative home for lunch
Better PM work

To bank to insure accounts.

To Wal-Mart to finally aid OKC\
*damn, still didn’t get it quite right.

To McDs for dinner, because I KNOW I’m going to feel like cooking.

Okay, Toby is beginning to chew.  I came home to a few insignificant things chewed up.  I can restrict him while I’m at work, hoping he doesn’t start chewing furniture.  If this continues, I wont be coming home for lunch to let him come inside to eat.

Evening is too short when I have things to do after a 20hr day.

Autumn/winter finding occurs @ 9:29PM

PM 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 Ensiwë
g, 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!

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!
