1st day of Yule – Mothers’ Night
Mothers’ Night welcomes in the Season of Yule. As we encourage the return of Sunna (the feminine aspect of the sun) we honor the feminine all around us. Honor the Idises, Asynjor, all mothers, great-grandmothers and your feminine ancestors. Raise a horn to the glorious women who give birth to us and to the feminine spirits that support us. Give this time in honor to all aspects of mothering. (C. Reimer/V. Elmersson/Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson)



Laxdaela Saga Chapter 7: After that Unn went into the hall and a great company with her, and when all seats were taken in the hall, everyone was much struck by the lordliness of the feast. Then Unn said: "Bjorn and Helgi, my brothers, and all my other kindred and friends, I call witnesses to this, that this dwelling with all its belongings that you now see before you, I give into the hands of my kinsman, Olaf, to own and to manage." After that Unn stood up and said she would go to the bower where she was wont to sleep, but bade everyone have for pastime whatever was most to his mind, and that ale should be the cheer of the common folk. So the tale goes, that Unn was a woman both tall and portly. She walked at a quick step out along the hall, and people could not help saying to each other how stately the lady was yet. They feasted that evening till they thought it time to go to bed. But the day after Olaf went to the sleeping bower of Unn, his grandmother, and when he came into the chamber there was Unn sitting up against her pillow, and she was dead. Olaf went into the hall after that and told these tidings. Everyone thought it a wonderful thing, how Unn had upheld her dignity to the day of her death.

I told him what I was seeing. He said he saw that too but it was working now. With him on the phone I tried it; same thing. I told him I was coming over to file. Once there it flew right trough. Now just wait to see if it did any good.
*THEN, I notice my great niece was at brother’s. I asked him what she was doing there and he told me that her mother, S_, was there in the bedroom. He told me if I wanted to know I would have to ask her. Going in, I learned that there was all sorts of shit going on with her family.

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!

​The season of Yule begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A Heathen Night Before Yuletide


Author Unknown:
Rewritten by Vaygar-Ingvald Elmersson to reflect a more adequate style in meter and verse.

'Twas the night before Yuletide and all through the Hall
Not a creature was stirring, not warrior nor thrall.
I in my armor, my greaves and my helm
Was drunker than anyone else in the Realm.

I staggered upstairs and fell into bed
With four quarts of mead ablaze in my head.
Then up from below came sounds of a brawl
I grabbed up my axe and ran down to the Hall.

I missed the last step and crashed down in a heap
Thinking, "Why can't those low-lifes downstairs go to sleep?"
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But two brawny strangers with hammer and spear.




I said to myself, “I'll soon have them beat!"
Then noticed ten warriors laid out at their feet.
I gave out a yell and leapt to the fray...
I'll always regret my poor choice of that day.

For the one laid his hammer to side of my nose
And up, up, up to the rafters I rose.
I heard a lone voice from down on the floor,
"They’re no mortal warriors -- that's Odin and Thor!"

They looked at each other and said, "Battle's done.
Since they know who we are, it’s no longer fun."
Then Thor raised his hammer at his elbow he bent,
And with a loud crash, through the ceiling they went.

I crawled through the Hall and flung open the door,
Quite certain I'd seen them somewhere before.
The snow bathed in moonlight, the stars intercede,
I saw them ride off on an eight-legged steed.

I heard them exclaim, 'ere they flew out of sight,
"TO HELA WITH YULETIDE, WE JUST LOVE A GOOD FIGHT!"

Another I name, that all need to have
Who officiate as curing healers;
Know yourself, and you will know the world,
And learn to discern between evil and its causes.


Self-knowledge/awareness, all-knowing, discernment, witches/shamans/doctors/healing, causality, the primordial, eternity, primal fire, primal light, primal, primal bull, recognize the cause of an event, healing. that which is grasped or permanent, medical help, the healing powers of medical drugs, nurturing at the original basis, original cause, origin, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, contact with the transcendent, contact with the dead, life after mortal death, Mother-God, Creative Mother Principle, a physician’s rune and represents resurrection, eternity, and continuity, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, root of eternity, causality; the origin of time, cause and effect in the eternal power of becoming.

Rune Lesson: Any enlightenment has the potential to allow us to become self-aware. As we benefit from new information we can discern causality. We make sense of how one thing relates to the other and that turns on the little light that says AH-HA! We are enlightened. We are all-knowing.

Toby and I out for a noon hour, troubling, 6-block walk. Once again Toby was attacked by this guy’s pit bull. He blamed me even though it was HIS pit bull that was loose and came at Toby from his yard. He told me it was going to be okay, but the his pit bull lashed out and Toby defended himself. Sure, Toby was off the leash but we were on the sidewalk. Either I am going to have to remember to put Toby on a leash when we come near that place or I’m going to have to avoid it all together. I feel like shit that I let this happen to my buddy.

​God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG)/Day of Fertility/Saturn’s Day. Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

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.

Posted on Facebook as soon as I knew she was gone:
This is to notify my Facebook friends that I have nullified my marriage with Jeanene. It was the brilliance of my attorney, in accordance with Kansas law, who suggested an annulment rather than divorce due to the brief nature of the marriage, Jeanene’s inability to be an active part, that I felt duped/tricked into this marriage and it was a mistake. In Kansas law, the difference between a divorce and an annulment is that a divorce would always be on my marriage record. An annulment says that the marriage never happened.



Thanks to my Facebook spies, you know who you are, I know she spread her venom all over Facebook. I know her daughter said, “I’m gonna ax a mother-fucker” and another suggested a “blood eagle.” Jeanene has brought her 50yr old drama-queen nature to the fore. I also know she has had a Go Fund Me page. Even though she knew she had $12k coming her way from me as settlement, she duped many to donate money to her pseudo cause. She wanted to spend YOUR money, not hers; typical.


Those who know me know that I am not a bad guy. In all her efforts on Facebook and wherever else, she made me out to BE the bad guy. All she ever did was show her true drama-queen self. My life goes on. I do not hate her. I will not hate her. Do not be sad for me. Be glad that I had the gonads to take control, and close this horrible chapter of my life. Thank you to all my Facebook friends who have been so supportive.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Donarstag/An: Thor’s Day/Die [(German for feminine “the”) (pronounced “Dee”)] Wurtâ/An: the Norns:
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.

God/dess Meditation: Saturday/Saturn’s Day/Tag der Fruchtbarkeit/Day of Fertility (UPG), Ing-Frô/An: Frey & Frouwa/An: Freya:
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!
*source: combination AFA Book of Uncommon Prayers, and C.Reimer/V.Elmersson
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!

Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan.

HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
