Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today
<> ​

Elder Rune: Algiz: Protection/shielding, Heimo (the genetic connection between gods and the Folk), guardian of Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, expansion of archetypal consciousness, awareness, divine realizations, an awakening, drawing on the natural Will, invocation/supplication to the gods, preparedness, sanctuary, embracing the Divine plan, a safe harbor, connection with current events, the Elk, or swan.
Conversely:
Outside the favor of Heimo, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, inability to embrace fear, failure to face the ultimate good in all things, tested by the natural Will/Universal voice, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what’s coming, an aspect of death, helplessness.

Armanen Rune: Hagal: 
Havamal 151.
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.
 
To enclose/destroy, danger brought under control, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, die (pronounced ‘dee’ German for ‘the’) Alle Mutter, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.
“Harbor the All in yourself, and you will control the All” (List, 54).

Interpretation: Protection (Algiz) leads to dangers brought under control (Hagal)

1st check on all fur-kids

Outcome: did I really just get 9hrs of solid sleep?
<> 
Good morning chat with My Love My Fiancée; it was a rough night for her.
<> 
Call in from the chiropractor; consult @ 11:30AM

To neighbors’ house with a dog toy I purchased yesterday.  The pup went nuts on it…LOL!

Toby and I out for a well behaved 30min walk

Chiropractor wants me to start physical therapy.

J’sW neighbor told me of an injured kitty.  I found it.  I carefully approached it and was able to pet it.   Its back legs aren’t working.  The J’s W went to get a box for me.  The kitty let me put it in the box to carry it home.  I didn’t have a choice but to call animal control.
*Algiz/Hagal

Animal control was surprisingly compassionate.  He assured me that the kitty would be seen by a veterinary, and only put down if necessary, which I’m sure it will be.   Tears…LOTS of tears.
*Algiz/Hagal

People should NEVER wonder why I keep such a close eye on my fur-babies like I do.

Call in from Sisser.  She wants me to go to her next oncology appointment, which I will do.

Last check on all fur-kids.

Good 9hrs of work; all night on the table shaper.
​*YAY!  I got my vacation hours: 91!

Shower, bed, nighty-night

God/dess Meditation: Nirdu, brother-husband, to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
