The Clanic relationship isn’t always blood. The Clanic relationship is also those who we CHOOSE to add into our Clan. Whatever the case, our Clan is ultimately important, and THAT brings us joy.

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/An: Frey, 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.

Of course, gifting can encourage or discourage friendships depending on how each are perceived.

*H2R2; Halbdutzend 2, root 2, Irminsul’s root of destruction

Rune Lesson: It SEEMS this Rune lesson is pointing to the negative side of the Sowulo Rune. Lighting can cause suffering. However, looking at it another way, success CAN result in a settled strife. I’ve just gotta be perfectly honest, it’s difficult to pair these to Runes up into a good Rune lesson. Can success bring suffering? I suppose so. Can the feminine bring about a settled calm? Sure. This is a tough one.

On the one hand, tree guys did WAY too much in the backyard.  They did what EVERGY was going to do around the powerlines.  On the other hand, they couldn’t get one tree that needs to be trimmed back.  I remember being told it was too slick.  Hopefully later.

​God/dess Meditation: Alternate Sunnastag/An: Sun’s Day, Paltar/An: Balder, 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!
