Armanen Rune: Laf:
Havamal 159:
A fourteenth I sing to the assembled Folk

When naming the divine names;
The Aesir and Alves and their various kinds
No one can spell out without learning.


Determination, learned knowledge, singing before the All, presentation, Urlag; life fate and destiny, life as law, life following the law, experience, test, temptations by life-circumstances, water, sea, good management, test of life, school of the lives, relations, defeat and the laws of nature, life and primal law, psychic & spiritual awareness, cosmic flow, seeds of thought, the etheric part of the body, initiation that experiences life on earth as a continuous process of initiation, The Cosmic Ocean.
“First learn to steer, then dare the sea-journey” (List, 60).
H3R2; Halbdutzend 3, root 2, Irminsul’s root of re-creation

Rune Lesson: The challenge in dealing with the Sowulo Rune is it’s destructive yet beneficial nature. There is the destructive nature within the lightening bolt. There is the destructive yet beneficial nature of the Sun. In order for this Rune to be successful in our lives is to achieve a balance between the two. The challenges with the Sowulo Rune convinces us to be determined. We will conquer. We will be victorious. We know that withing these two Runes were KNOW the feminine Divine is granting us the opportunity to come together with all the manifested life and destiny as we stand side-by-side to sing before the All in gratitude! We are victoriously destined!

God/dess Meditation: Thursday/Donar’s Day/Donar/An: Thor:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

Rune Lesson: Divine wisdom is that which provides a rebirth. We fabricate it to the point we are renewed. We rise of the ashes as we shape it into our story. We must keep in mind, however, there is always a price to be paid for wisdom. If we are willing to pay the price we know we will be reborn into the light. We fear nothing!

First thing this morning one of my Fb spies told me what she put on Jeanene’s Fb page. Jeanene immediately took it down and blocked her. Here is what my Fb spy put on Jeanene’s page verbatim:
“jeanene, to say i am saddened by the situation is an understatement, but when 2 peeps are living seperate lives it is inevitable it will come to an end, which i know you were aware of, contrary to what you portray.......what i find most distasteful are your daily plea s for monitary assistence, when in fact your settlement in full is already in place. So i would suggest as you attest to being "heathen" beliefs...you reimburse any monies (if any) you have received as thats the godly thing to do.....so far i have kept my council....but your not the 1st and won t be the last woman to get divorced and re locate, you are however luckier than MANY who got nothing atall....yet got their BIG GIRL pants on and got on with it without having pity parties.......Especially at this time people have lost jobs, relatives, lack food etc and ARE very worried about THEIR futures,..so if i were you i would count my blessings and not other peoples money....be honest Jeanene Zagajeski”

Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing, enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. You’re the counterpart to Sunna, the feminine aspect of the sun. 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.

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!

Armanen Rune: Thorn:
Havamal 148:
A third I take, when danger threatens,

To bind the enemies through magic:
Thus, I dull the steel of the furious opponent.
Like the staff, his sword does not cut anymore.


Donar, deflecting an opponent, making ineffective, protection from danger, enemies bound through magic, impermeable, an awakening, the power to turn, the divine will to act, the law of eternal reincarnation, power to become, Return, new emergence from what’s apparently old and dried-up, formative power of the seed, the thunderbolt, targeting goals, activity and the phallus, mental telepathy, projection of the will, fierce protection, psychic attack & defense, penetrating time & space, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).
*H1R3; Halbdutzend 1, root 3, Irminsul’s root of creation
<>
Rune Lesson: With appropriate gifts, an opponent is deflected. There really is something to be said for gifting in the Heathen community. The Havamal is clear how it works:
13. With gifts, friendships should be strengthened,
Such as with weapons or fine clothing:
Those who exchange gifts will always be friends,
So long as they give and take in turn.
14. A man should always remain loyal to his friends,
Giving a gift for a gift, sharing in their laughter,
But repaying lies for lies.

So there really were technical difficulties with ESPN+ what are fixed now.

Toby and I out for a perfectly behaved, 6-block walk. Toby was the 2nd time I noticed this Great Dane looking dog on this part of Toby’s walk. Putting Toby on his retractable I let Toby get close. Tails were wagging. Everything was fine, until that split second when the Great Dane turned on Toby. In HALF a spit second I pulled Toby away. Checking Toby’s neck he - appeared to be none the worse for wear (13th Warrior line).

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.

Armanen Rune: Sig:
Havamal 156:
This I know as an eleventh, when

I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.


Triumph, surrounded with luck and happiness, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, into the fray, blessing from above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light, inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force, wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray of inspiration, wisdom, and illumination.
“The creative spirit must conquer” (List, 57).
*H2R5; Halbdutzend 2, root 5, Irminsul’s root of destruction

Rune Lesson: The interesting thing about Naudiz is it MAY SEEM problematic, but consider its implications. Naudiz as the Rune of need portends a need in many ways. Naudiz as a Rune of friction indicates friction for he greater good. The Naudiz Rune can even be transfornative. All the layers of this Rune work together for resolving the best of us, and the best of us will ALWAYS come out victorious and happy!

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Frijastag/An: Frigga’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.

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.

With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.

Rune Lesson: We have reached a turning point and the All-Mother is in the mix of it all. Yeah, there may be some breaking down, but our harvest will be good if we planted the right seeds. The Divine Mother is All! There is improvement. We know we are going to be fine.

Dillons was a bit disappointing. Perhaps I’ve outgrown it, or I am more ready for retirement than I ever thought.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Dienstag/Ostara/An: Idun, Trustworthy goddess; wife to Brego (who is the adherent god of scalds), keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!
