God/dess Meditation: Alternate Frijastag/An: Frigg’s Day, Heil to you, Forsizo (An: Forseti), son of Paltar and Nanda!  You’re the god of justice, and reconciliation.  You sit in judgment of the right and wrong of all arguments.  We see you as god of the Thing.  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!

​God/dess Meditation: Alternate Wodanstag/An: Odin’s Day. Heimo/An: Heimdall, 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!

Havamal 154:
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.
 
Calm in the face of distress, comfort, hypnotic power of the forceful will, course of affairs, Rest, Ego, das Ich, Positivity, activity, personal will, self-domination, self-control, confidence, 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).
H2R3; Halbdutzend 2, root 3, Irminsul’s root of destruction
<> 
Rune Lesson:  So, we’re dealing with two very destructive items; that being, the sun/lightening bolt and ice.  Perhaps at opposite ends but nonetheless destructive; however, both can yet be very beneficial.  Unlike pagans, we Heathens see the Feminine Divine in the Sun as a positive life force.  Ice, in all it’s destructive power, can bring a calming effect.  We are forced to slow down with ice.  In essence, we can be calm because we know the Divine Feminine has everything under control.

God/dess Meditation: Saturday/Saturn’s Day/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit/Day of Fertility (UPG), Frouwa/An: Freya & Ing-Frô/An: Frey:
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.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!

I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Havamal 162:
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law

To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.

Rune Lesson:  PERFEKT!  Marriage has a new beginning toward the greater good.  It seems that Fehu wealth isn’t always monetarily.  There is TREMENDOUS wealth is a good marriage.  A marriage based on fidelity is absolutely priceless.  A Fehu marriage that isn’t frivolous is one that means more than monetary wealth.  IT MEANS THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
