12th Night - Thus Ends the Season of Yule
Twelfth Night ends the season of Yule as we prepare for the upcoming year. It's a time to remember from whence you came as well as a time to make plans for the near future. Take oaths, boast, make promises, hold inventory so you know your present position in relation to where you want to be. The goddess Var hears our oaths.  She honors those who honor their oaths.  She punishes those who break them; hence, oath and boast carefully.  Good luck will follow a well-kept oath.  Remember, "Luck often enough will save a man (or woman) if his (or her) courage holds” (The 13th Warrior).

AM Armanen Rune: Eh:
Havamal 161.
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.
*
Warns against frivolous, transient love affairs, the legal bond between man and woman, lasting love, two bound together by the primal law of life, unification, sanctity of marriage, the cross of wedlock, fulfillment, maintaining strict morals within the bonds of marriage, love, duality, bound by primal law, love, trust and marriage. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership, permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.

Interpretation: Positive Wyrd (Pertho) leading to marriage (Eh).

Outcome: a good 7 hrs of sleep, only slightly disturbed.

31F/-1C, overcast, chilly.
About ¼ thru the walk and Toby found a tasty morsel. He was so proud of himself. I certainly wasn't going to hold onto it, and I certainly wasn't going to take it from him. I kid you not, he looked at me, told me he was ready to go home, I said okay, and he was off to the races in celebration mode! Once home, I finished a full mile after that.

Facebook message into my former-and-most-evil-christian-brother:
“I have done all I know how to do to make things right with you. I'm through with you. I will not kiss your ass. I will not grovel. I'm convinced it's your Christian arrogance that keeps you from taking me back as your brother. Whatever pewny credentials you may have, you might as well resign them. You're an embarrassment to both your denomination and your faith. I know I can go before my ancestors, confident I have done all I can do to keep this family together. You, in your asininity, choose to fragment it. I don't know how you live with yourself. Prepare yourself, for phase 2. It's coming.”

*now THAT'S the way to start a new year; banishing the christian vermin!

PM God/dess Meditation: Die Wurtâ:
Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
*

That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

​10th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Self-Reliance
Codependents are people who let the feelings and actions of another person affect them to the point that they feel like they have lost control of their own lives.  Do not create codependent relationships in any way. Do not let your happiness, or your success, be determined by anyone else. Be responsible for yourself. Depend on the efforts of your own handiwork.  Make sure you are the total sum of your own achieved goals.  Rely on your own efforts to secure your needs, wants and desires.
*Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson

As soon I sing the magic chant.

Good AM work; I inquired of the plant super about how mandatory this week was. He said, pretty much like last week. Which means it wasn't mandatory. By the end of shift I'll have 20 hrs. Add to that the 20hr holiday pay...I'm good. SO, not working tomorrow.
Good @ home lunch. EVERYBODY has the schedule figured out.
Good PM work; workload remained full. Plant super said get ready for lots of work next year. I'M ON IT!

Stubby and Long-tail needed fed.
I huggled with Socks. Long-tail came up to the back gate. Socks went to the sliding glass door. He went out just long enough to tell Long-tail, I'M STILL KING HERE! Long-tail turned around. Socks went back into his house. Message sent and received.

9th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Industriousness
Life requires that we work hard. Never sit back and take the easy way out in regards to your ability to create a lifestyle for yourself. No matter the lifestyle you choose, know that your elevation in life, or lack of it, may (but not always) be the direct result of your depth of diligence. Do the best you can, and know that your efforts have been suitably rewarded.

Outcome: It's bitter cold this morning; however, not near the snowfall they predicted. Predicted was 4-8” of snow. We MAY have gotten an inch. I immediately called for Socks. Stubby came a-running. I think Socks took refuge in a straw-bale cubbyhole and came out soon enough. Socks quickly made his way to his house. Stubby and Long-tail will get all the food they can handle.

@ work, I helped a colleague across the parking lot who was afraid of falling on the ice. She balanced on my arm and walked carefully.
Good AM work; workload full; AND hot chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*scuttlebutt ran rampant. One person said no machinists were supposed to be there. A second person said certain machinists were asked not to come in this week due to too many ahead of schedules. A third person said machinists were optional. So, who really knows?
Good @ home for lunch; EXTREMELY cautious on the way home; Stubby found his cubbyhole, Toby found an outside place to pee, Essie found her way to the treat able...LOL.
Good PM work; workload adequate.
<>
Came home to Toby wanting out front badly. Why? Because he knew he was bad for making his way thru the baby gate into the kitchen trash. Of course, I HAD to voice my displeasure, but I figured it was my fault for not latching the gate well enough. After all, Toby's nickname is Mr. Opportunist.

Huggled with Socks in his house. He THOUGHT about following me outside, but said...ummm...no!

Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts.

8th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Discipline
Discipline is a training to obey rules, a code of behavior or a branch of knowledge.  It’s a method of systematic instruction intended to train a person within a given idea or method.  Our Way is not an easy way. In many aspects, we fly in the face of the society around us. Be disciplined enough to stay Tru to the ideals of Heathenry as they unfold in your life. Be diligent in the study of your beliefs. Endeavor to honor the gods and goddesses of the Northern Germanic peoples.

7th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Hospitality
Welcome those into your house and your life as you can. In today’s world, we cannot trust everyone with whom we come in contact; however, we can exercise caution and be as welcoming as possible. When anyone is welcomed into your home ensure they want for nothing.  Lavish upon them food, drink and comfort.  Similarly, be a proper and respectful guest when you are welcomed.

Essie and Toby handled the extra people quite well. Socks was another story. After they left it took a sincere effort to calm him down.

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!

6th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Fidelity
We must remain loyal to who and what we are. We must be faithful to our obligations and duties.  Those around us need to have the ability to take us at our word.  Our word needs to be our bond. Our handshake needs to seal the deal.  The devotion to our deeds must be of utmost importance.

5th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Honor
Honor is the ability to hold your head high in all situations; of personal integrity and strong moral character.  We set standards for ourselves and live according to those standards. We are not encouraged to set low standards, rather, set high standards and work toward them continually, even behind closed doors.

Awww...Socks remembers the “bedtime potty walk”. I started that with Meeka and Socks just kind of joined in on his own. As I live on a cul-de-sac, it consisted of a walk to the end of the block so Meeka could potty before bedtime. After I put Meeka down, the “bedtime potty walk” became scarce. Tonight, I again tried it, knowing full well Toby would cooperate, and realize Socks DOES remember it. Toby and I walked to the end of the block, around the end, back to home, Socks was sure to follow.

4th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Truth
Truth is as relative as the individual. What one person or group finds to be the Truth, another finds to be ridiculous. There is no universal truth. There is no one-way or right way of seeing things. What we accept as truth is merely that; our truth. No one person or group has the right to dictate their truth onto anyone. Search for your own truth.

I think the UUs would be more compatible with my current belief system, as I think Phillips Theological Seminary http://ptstulsa.edu/Home has become less welcoming of any faith other than Christian. Hel, when I went to Phillips , I was an open Heathen, there was an open Wiccan, and several lesbians attending.

I just may visit the UUs this Sunday https://firstuu.net/ While I will never deny my Mennonite heritage or invalidate my current associate/non-voting membership with the family's church I attended as a child http://lorraineavenue.ks.us.mennonite.net/ , I'm just not a christian.

<>
What the hel happened to the 9PM news? Oh yeah, that evil green chair.
<>
My niece's post on Fb got me thinking astrologically, which I haven't done for a very long time.
My Sun sign: Cancer
“Sun sign astrology...is a simplified system of astrology which considers only the position of the Sun at birth, which is said to be placed within one of the twelve zodiac signs.”
*The Sun in the sign of Cancer makes people emotional and very well aware of the difference between their inner and outer worlds.
The inner world refers to the life of this person's soul as well the life of their closest family, and is typically very rich and satisfying, but the Sun-in-Cancer individual is always aware of the necessity to protect their inner world from the outer world.
These kinds of people can be very reserved and protective when they feel they are being threatened, but they are fully devoted to those they trust.
My Moon sign: Virgo
“Moon Sign-the Sign of the Zodiac where the Moon was at the moment of his or her birth.”
*Practical, attentive to details, capable of keeping things in order, finding and rectifying problems. Likes pets, enjoys to collect and systematize just anything, hates chaos (although at times creates it).
The Moon in Virgo individual knows intuitively that the world is complicated and multi-faceted, and many things need to be done to keep afloat in it. If he or she is an energetic person, they can easily become workaholics as they will fuss endlessly about every detail, unable to relax and calm down until a whole pile of different chores have been sorted out. The inability of these people to relax can often lead to nervousness and disturbances of the digestive system. They can become over-critical and sometimes this makes them highly-strung and rather unbearable to those around them.
On the other hand, sometimes if the Moon in Virgo belongs to a passive person, he or she might end up doing nothing at all. They know very well how many things ought to be done, but because they know they will be unable to do everything, they just stay idle.
My rising sign: Taurus:
Your Ascendant: 18°37' Taurus
“This is the face you wear in public, how others see you, and your Astrological Mask. “
*Tranquility, joy of life and sensuality are essential to you: you are a simple and quiet nature. You find happiness easily because you are not competitive, your relaxed attitude and your common sense invariably lead you towards fulfillment, even though you are not the number one, even though you do not move in haste. Constructing is important to you. Your patience and your persistence yield strong, steadfast, sustainable efforts that can withstand any pitfalls. You are gentle, with a slow thinking process, but once you have opted for an orientation, nothing, nor anyone, can make you change your mind. You loathe changes in general and once you have taken the few major unavoidable decisions in the course of your life, you are on track.
With this Ascendant, you come across as loyal, steadfast, strong, patient, enduring, persistent, attached, sensual, realistic, constructive, tenacious, with a strong need for security. But you may also be stubborn, rigid, possessive, materialistic, static, slow, and you may bear grudges.
Somewhere I read that my Sun sign is what I am in this life. My Moon sign is what I was in a former life. My rising sign is what I'll be in my next life. Who knows? It's interesting enough, but it doesn't mean much to me, personally as I do much better with Runes.
<>
Now what the hel happened to the 9PM news? Oh...yeah...that damned green chair. It honestly IS a love/hate relationship with that thing.

2nd Day of Yule – The Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice represents the shortest day and the longest night. Winter begins for us in this modern era.  We give HAIL to the turning of the wheel!  From this day onward Sunna, the feminine aspect of the Sun, gains strength and eventually breaks winter's spell. Celebrate Sunna's return and the fertility she brings (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).

An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never

Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.

PM God/dess Meditation: Mano, god of the moon:
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
