Plans: take sisser to lunch

AM Meditation: Sunnastac/Sunday, we meditate on Sunna, goddess of the Sun:
Greetings to you Sunna, in all your feminine, fertile glory; Lamp of Wodan, newly risen! Hail to you who has shown on all our ancestors, who shines on us, and who will yet shine on our decedents yet unborn. Share with us some of your light, your energy, your power, so that we might better fight our battles and attain our goals. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL SUNNA, as we honor the Sunna that resides in us all!

AM Armanen Rune: Not: 
Havamal 152.
An eighth is mine, to all the Folk
Useful to know in their suffering;
Where hatred rises up between man and man,
This is can settle fast.

Separation, suffering settled, calm, necessity of fate, misery and death, change of luck as necessity, decision of the Wurtâ , Wurt/Urlag paid-for, cause-effect relations, capability to restructure Wurt/Urlag, That which cannot be averted, the Ur-law that is active in every creature, stress, karmic debt, karmic need, but with outlook for change of karma, banishing ill fortune by means of accepting karma and karmic law, Skuld, Divine justice that balances, use your Fate; do not stem yourself against it.

Interpretation: Socially apropos (Mannaz) leading to banishing ill (Not)
*Now THAT is what I’ve been trying to accomplish all this extended weekend.

Outcome: Created the 7th Annual 12 Days of Yule group on Fb: https://www.facebook.com/groups/692385820860416/

Normally I do an “event” but there is always an issue of creating an event for more than a single day. I tried a “page” a couple of years ago but that didn’t go over too well at all. This is the first time I’ve created a “group” for this.

*Well hel, Fb didn’t give me the option to “invite”. It only let me “add”. Oh well, I’ll add all I want, and if they want to withdraw, they can.

Noticeably colder today with a stout north wind.

From the start, Toby had a problem with listening. I put him on his retractable for about a block then let him go again. Just as quickly, he briefly disappeared. I put him back on the retractable all the way to Meeka Park where I let him run himself ragged! Once home, it seemed he had indeed ran out all of his wiggles…LOL

36F/3C

To the corner convenience store for a newspaper.

Lunch with my sisser was wonderful!

Brownsville 1-14 Monterrey (WOW!)

This has been a absolutely horrible week for exercising. I need to keep it going. I hope I can pick it up next week. It seems I do better when the workweek is a 5-day paycheck.

This has been a most promising Thanksgiving weekend; well, all but the loss of my sister-in-law’s brother. For me, I connected with the most important players in my life. Hopefully, this will be the catalyst for further connections with others who have not been so prominent. Family must be made whole.

Nighty-night

PM Meditation: All you gods and goddesses bless and keep your Holy Folk. From the cold shadows of the glaciers to the colder shadows of space, always, we have been your people. Guide and guard your North Folk as you did in ages past. Wodan, give wisdom and craft to wits shaped by ice and fire that our foes be foxed. Donar, give us strength and the will to use it. Ing-Frô and Frouwa, give full wombs so that bodies will be found for the souls of heroes. Let your Northern Folk grow in number and in power, so that our kind may live, love, survive and thrive, not just today, not for a millennium, but for ever and ever! HEIL! HEIL!! HEIL!!!

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!

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.

If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.

PM Meditation: Eger und Râ hana, 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.

November/Nebulmond 22, 2014 Saturn’s Day/Day of Fertility/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit

11/23/2014

0 Comments

 
It was a very odd overnight. I fell asleep last night about 8PM, and woke up around 1AM. Watched the last bit of “Cats” on PBS…excellent. Then I started one of my news horror movies, “Oculus” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2388715/…a bit slow. I think I finally fell back to sleep around 4:30 or 5, then back up @ 6:30.


Essie is extremely playful this morning.


(Nebulmond = Mist Month)


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!

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 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!

WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!

Ya know, life really is good. I don’t make a lot of money, but I make enough…for now. I just can’t have any major financial or household emergencies. I don’t have a fancy home, but it’s my home. It’s not lavishly furnished, but it’s comfortably furnished. I may not have a significant other or children, but I have furry babies I love tremendously. Reiterating, life is good.

Festive decorations placed up on the porch; yeah, I’m a bit early. To the corner convenience store for newspaper

McDs for 2nd breakfast

*two burritos

*large sweet tea

*sausage muffin for Toby

Taylor Made Bows has my tailor made arrows ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I posted a pic on Facebook of a really cool Victorian style home style home in purple, black and white. A friend said they had one similar in their town and I said we had one, too. The picture challenge was on! I set out to get a pic of the Cattleman’s Home in Mid-town. 


While out, I stopped off at FedEx to get copies for yet another RTAA mailing; requested by my RTAA rep until Topeka sends the exhaustion of funds letter.

Ah hel, I also stopped in at Family Video and ended up spending about $20 on four haunted/possession videos.


Prepared RTAA for tomorrow’s post.


Since I’ve been back online, I’ve forgotten to mention;

Vikings, on the History channel, on DVD

*episodes 204, 205 and 206, watched.


Yummy supper; ground turkey steak w/onions, baked potato, and freshly steamed asparagus.


JsFnChst…lazy now




I’m going to have to double-up on exercising for the rest of the weekend to get it done.



Nighty-night
