11th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Perseverance
The Noble Virtue of perseverance requires us to meet difficulties head-on. Life is filled with personal challenges. We struggle on a daily basis with various forces around us. Sometimes we may ask ourselves, is it really worth it? Perseverance is the determined, continual action in the face of adversity. If you give up, it’s game-over. It really is simple, isn’t it? No matter what you are doing, no matter the challenge, see it to its conclusion. Even if you try and fail, realize that the only real failure is not trying. Failure is evidence that someone has tried. Success is failure defeated (C.Reimer/V.Elmersson).
Havamal 71
The lame man rides the horse, the handless man drives the herds,
The deaf man fights and succeeds,
To be blind is better than to be burnt;
A corpse is of no use to anyone (The Poetic Edda, Larrington pg. 23).
RAISE YOUR HORN! TIP YOUR GLASS! GIVE HAIL TO THE NOBLE VIRTUE OF PERSEVERANCE!

In eternal change, man goes forth
From death to new creation.

Rune Lesson: According to lore there are obvious benefits to gifting that lines-up generous help:
13. If you have a friend you feel is loyal,
And wish to win and keep his trust,
Open your heart to him, and be generous with gifts,
And seek his companionship often.
14. If there is a man you deal with, but do not trust,
Yet seek to win his favor for your gain-
Be friendly to him in your manner,
Though false in heart, and repay him his lies with lies.
(Germanic Heathenry; A Practical Guide, Coulter translation, pg. 242)

Toby indicated he might have an interest in a walk today. Sure enough, he finished three blocks. I didn’t push him at all. I let him tell me what he needed. He kept a good pace and a raised tail. He hadn’t had any kind of a walk in more than a week.

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!
