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.
* no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.

Over to my Sisser’s to mow her yard.  GREAT MOTHER OF THE GODS!  It needs more than my mower can give it.  The front yard needed mowed TWICE to get it all down.  J’dn came out to help for which I was extremely grateful. 
Front yard done, McDs for a break. 
There was NO WAY I could finish the yard.  Besides the front, I only got to finish the side yard.  The batteries were being used faster than they could be completely recharged.  It really needs a tractor mower.

I took my Runes in their bag out to adjust their size to be more palm-size.  I took a jig saw to saw off the ends, then a hand grinder to make the ends smoother, then burred the edges.  Taking them back inside, I lit candles with stick and cone incense.  I then placed them on a makeshift altar so that powder incense atop a charcoal block could permeate thru.  Then I played Rune chanting on the tele, Chromecast from YouTube, as a means of reminding them who and what they are, along with their purpose.  The initial Rune reading to indicate how they were feeling was just bizarre.  “Okay, what can I do to help you heal?”  More bizarre-ness, and even more bizarre-ness.  Then it hit me, hang them in a tree to replicate Wodan’s ordeal on the World Tree: BINGO!

God/dess Meditation: Paltar, 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!
