​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Wodanstag) 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!

Cleaned the standing fan in the bedroom, put it in the living room.  Took the standing fan in the living room and placed it on the porch to clean later.  It will then go into the bedroom used only as/if needed.  Why do I keep a standing fan in the living room?  The blower on the living room heating unit hasn’t worked for a couple of years and I just keep putting off having it repaired.  In the meantime, I keep a standing fan on low setting to one end of the heater to more effectively spread the heat throughout the rest of the house.  It seems to be working quite well that way.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Sunnastag) Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
