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.


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, 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)


Interpretation: Tru kinship (Othilla) leads to well-grounded feminine (Yr).


Outcome: Socks has moved his sleep spot from the utility room to my bed.


44F/6C; the news is calling this chilly, I'M calling it NICE!


Good AM work; attitudes softened
*well damn, the earpiece on my glasses came off when i tried to clean my lenses. Now what?
Good @ work lunch, "The Heathen Psyche" by Erik Goodwyn.
Good PM work, workload remained full.


A bit of lite rain, but I have errands to run before going home.


At the optometrist office, I found out my eyeglass frames were not able to be repaired since the frames have been discontinued. Luckily, the had frames in the same style leftover and set my lenses in them, anticipating my return visit when I get my prescription.


Off to the military surplus store, but HEL, they closed. WTF? They've been there forever. What the hel happened? That shot some Halloween plans. It also negated the need to go to Wal-Mart.


Heavier rain.


Both Socks and Toby were SO ready to come inside; a bit wet, but none the worse for wear Luckily, Essie has showed no desire to go outside.


It was a successful test of the bedroom space-heater. Essie immediately noticed it.


Remade a childhood memory; garden salad, hamburger steak (turned veggie meat) with sauteed onions and french fries (turned oven baked). It was nowhere near as good as Hope Cafe.


MLB Championship Series Game #3 http://mlb.mlb.com/home
Kansas City Royals @ New York Mets
Kansas City Royals 3, New York Mets 9
Kansas City still lead the series, 2-1
*what a waste of stay-up time.


Okay, I didn't watch the game all the time. I've found out there's a new channel on my free-TV list; Comet-TV http://comettv.com/ Oh, Sci-Fi TV. Tonight they're showing Terminator 1.


A bit concerned for Stubby in this wind and rain, so I took an old plastic tub to create a little kitty house. We'll see if he uses it. If not, it wasn't a major investment.


Special characters...how in THE hel...?


Schlaf gut.

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.


Mouth, arising, ashes, the power of speech, that which is offered, freedom, Wotanic 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.
“Your spiritual force makes you free” (List, 51).


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


Outcome: hmmmm, no sign of Stubby at all this morning, not even after I've called him.


Decision: as much as I want to do my witch costume for Halloween, I can bring myself to shave me beard, and that would be necessary for a successful witch look. I'm leaning towards a GI Joe look.


Good AM work; workload full.
Good @ work lunch; chili cook-off and pumpkin carving.
Good PM work; attitudes may be softening; workload remains full, 8 hrs granted for tomorrow.


Toby and I out to Meeka Park plus 3/5 of a mile. Essie in back yard for equal time.


For dinner; 1/2 lb veggie burger with cheese and steak sauce, coupled with oven baked onion rings...OMGs way-too good!

AM Armanen Rune: Is:

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.

Hypnotic power of the forceful will, course of affairs, Rest, Ego, das Ich, Positivity, activity, personal will, self-domination, self-control, 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.
“Win power over yourself and you will have power over everything in the spiritual and physical worlds that strive against you” (List, 56).

Interpretation: Deprivation (Uruz) leading to the Self (Is).

Outcome: a pleasant start.

Good AM work; I've just learned to ignore her.
Good @ work lunch; I am thoroughly enjoying the psychological connections to metaphor in "The Heathen Psyche" by Erik Goodwyn http://www.lulu.com/shop/erik-goodwyn/the-heathen-psyche/paperback/product-21839018.html 

Good PM work; workload full.
*goddamn sub-scapula pain got the better of me. I headed to the medical cabinet for ibuprofen.


Stopped off at Papa Murphy's for $10 Tuesdays. http://www.papamurphys.com/ For the first time EVER I'm trying a veggie style pizza.


Toby and I out to Meeka Park plus 3/5 of a mile. Essie in the back yard for equal time.
*There's this white-trash guy who gives me grief for walking Toby off the leash. He walks two pit-bulls. Both he and the pit-bulls come off as dangerous. I'm going to avoid them as much as possible. I will not knowingly place Toby in harm's way. DEFENDING Toby is another matter. THAT I will do like a pit-bull.


MLB Championship Series; the term World Series is a misnomer. There are no teams other than American teams involved here. There is dispute as to the first "world series" either in 1884 or 1903. There is also dispute as to the WHY of it being called a "World Series":
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1884_World_Series
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1903_World_Series
Even though disputed, it explains it well to ME for the series to be named in 1884 after the World newspaper as it's sponsor, rather than exhibiting US arrogance.
New York Mets @ Kansas City Royals http://mlb.mlb.com/home
(I'll check it in the morning) 3-3 at current.

Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Ensi for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives. Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!

A fourteenth know Volkrast, the dwarf,

Sings early at the gates of dawn,
To strengthen the Aesir, to empower the Alves,
But to myself, Allfather, to gain wisdom.

Outcome: I had to go out to literally pick-up Socks to bring him in for feeding. He was busy outside protecting 
his turf. I demanded he took a break. He'll tend to his territory issues while I'm at work.


Wooooooooooooooow...the Decades channel is continuing on with their Weekend Binge of Dark Shadows. I'm sure it will end with the start of the business day.


Troublesome AM work; attitudes continue
Good @ work lunch; called my veterinary to let him know I'm coming right after work. Also, a few pages in "Heathen Psyche". I REALLY like this!
Continued troublesome PM work; she fine a few days, icky a few days. Can we say, BIPOLAR?


Stopped off at Air Capital Veterinary for Toby and Essie's flea stuff, Toby's allergy meds, too.


Essie in the back yard while I made diner: tilapia, oven baked crinkle-cut potatoes, home grown tomatoes (from work), gernika and sweet peppers.


Socks asleep in his bed on the dryer.

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.


Mouth, arising, ashes, the power of speech, that which is offered, freedom, Wotanic 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.
“Your spiritual force makes you free” (List, 51).


Interpretation: personal growth (Laguz) leading to freedom (Os).


Outcome: VERY nice morning...beautifully cool!


Socks is inside sleeping like a kitten in his bed on the washer.
Essie in the back yard mostly unsupervised.


First breakfast; cereal with fruit and a whole wheat English muffin with jelly.


Toby and I out for 1.25 miles plus Meeka Park. I encountered an asshole who gave me grief about walking Toby off the leash while he has to walk his pit-bulls leashed. He harshly reminded me of the leash law. As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. My argument is that Toby is accompanied and controlled.


The other day the City came to grind down the stumps they left last year on their side of the easement. I took the excess dirt to spread it around a few places in the back yard.


Bundesliga http://www.bundesliga.com/en/

*Took Toby with me and got him a dogie biscuit.


2nd breakfast (VERY late in the morning): scrambled eggs with potato coins and pancakes...OMGs YUM! Y'all are missing out on some damn-good food!


Socks remained inside until the early afternoon; food, a good nap, and he's golden! As long as he's monitored closely, I enjoy him coming inside.


Gathered up stuff for the junk man.


A very nice surprise visit from my sisser! She came over to show me her new-to-her car; a Suzuki Vitara. We had a long overdue conversation on the patio.


With the short-term disability check, I was out and about ISO Science Diet for my fur-kids. I spent almost $90 on two bags of food and 6 cans of wet They are now eating the best food that money can buy. . I just hope my budget can withstand it. I learned something new today form the Science Diet dietitian. It's okay for cats to eat dog food but not good for dogs to eat cat food. I'm adjusting their diets accordingly.


Curiosity; Who has the absolute cheapest wet food for the porch cats? I figured it would be Aldi but I had to check. Aldi @ 35c per can, Wal-Mart @ 36c, Dillons @ 40c.
*while @ Dillons, petrol.


Hey, the junk guy DID come by! See? There's something for everybody in this world. Now there's added room in the garden shed for storage.


BBQ bologna with cheese in a rolled whole-wheat tortilla for a very late lunch.


WOO-HOO! Money in the bank with PayPal...spending!
*huh? What the hel happened to the money? I place an order and it disappears? JsFnChst! Now I have to make up the funds.
*I ordered a very useful leg pouch: http://m.banggood.com/Men-Outdoor-Canvas-Drop-Waist-Leg-Bags-Waist-Pack-Bag-Running-Belt-Bicycle-and-Motorcycle-p-979712.html


Garden salad, rice casserole with turkey hot-dogs, and homemade mixed berry muffins...I may not be wealthy, but GODS I eat well!


Oh my, "Dark Shadows" on the Decades channel http://www.tv.com/listings/station/1516142158
*I remember this show scared the shit out of me when I was a kid; but then, my father's death had a profound effect on me for the longest time.

PM 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!

Good AM work; attitudes fly!

*Kenaz and Os right here!
Good @ work lunch; “The Heathen Psyche”
Good PM work, workload remained adequate.

WOW! A check for my short-term disability claim showed up. Wasn't expecting that. It will pay for both fur-kids' meds and Science Diet.

Call into the dentist office to make sure they received my payment. They did.

Leftover casserole for dinner.


Well hel, I guess I CAN'T get Toby's meds until Monday. For some reason, the office is closed. Granted I called @ 4:30PM, but they SHOULDN'T be closed yet.

I was FINALLY able to figure out hoe to put a 2nd page on the Sacerdotal Services website. More will soon follow...EXCITED!

Essie in the back yard, mostly unsupervised, until sunset

AM Armanen Rune: Laf:
Havamal 158.
A fourteenth I sing to the assembled Folk

When naming the divine names;
The Aesir and Alves and their various kinds
No one can spell out without learning.


Determination, Urlag; life fate and destiny, life as law, life following the law, experience, test, temptations by life-circumstances, water, sea, good management, test of life, school of the lives, relations, defeat and the laws of nature, life and primal law, psychic & spiritual awareness, cosmic flow, seeds of thought, the etheric part of the body, initiation that experiences life on earth as a continuous process of initiation, The Cosmic Ocean.
“First learn to steer, then dare the sea-journey” (List, 60).


Interpretation: Weakness (Uruz) that leads to determination (Laf)


Outcome: All is well in the fur-kids department, and that's an important way to start a morning.


ain...smells like rain and the weather girl on KSN says so, too.


Good AM work
Good @ work lunch; I am SO impressed with the book, “Heathen Psyche”.
*clouds...nice!
Good PM work; workload remains overflowing.
*Friday 8 hrs. for sure! Believe me, I can use the money. With all in-house fur-kids on Science Diet, I can easily spend $80 on a couple of bags.


Socks quick to come inside to eat, nap, and head back outside.


Well dress ½ veggie burger with potato coins.


Explained some things about sumble/samal on American Heathens on Facebook.


Essie is absolutely NOT interested in the back yard today. It's a bit windy, and she's a bit squeamish.


Monday night football, weekend football and THURSDAY night football? Jeez! I DO NOT understand the fascination with this boring sport. I put it right up there with NASCAR.
*NASCAR: flat-out, left turn, roundy-roundy, hope for an accident.
*American football: two teams face each other, smash heads, go back to talk about it, smash heads, go back to talk about it. When the team with the ball gets pissed off, they kick it away to chase the other team.
*let's face it, generally speaking, sports are pretty stupid; that is, all but soccer and curling. MY favorite sports. Of course, THEY aren't stupid.


Goddamn sub-scapula pain is kicking my ass!

Shower, bed, nighty-night.

PM God/dess Meditation: Donar;
Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
