Havamal 161:
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,
To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.
Lust/desire, seduction, reluctance, influence, second thoughts, a change of heart, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, well grounded, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).

Rune Lesson: Laguz is our life-source. Yr is a multifaceted dilemma with eventual goodness. Alife well-lived is one which will develop into something wonderful! Going with the flow, and that which follows, can change is in unanticipated ways. We are the culmination of our actions, both good and bad. How we deal with life’s changes is what can set us apart from the mundane. Someone has said, “We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience; rather, we are Spiritual beings having a physical experience.” I think that is so true. It’s up to us HOW we reconnect with Spirit as we go thru life’s changes and the influence that brings.

Phone-in therapy went really well. She really is all about regurgitating beneficial information. Today, it was John Gottman and his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse:

Call in from bruzzer:
*windows are being put in with the same company that did my widows.
*his great-granddaughter-guardian child did go home with mother Monday; a bit stubbornly, but did. I really do think she’s going to be better off in the long-haul.

I’ve had a 4-way like this https://doitbest.com/shop/lawn-and-garden/hoses-and-accessories/hose-fittings-connectors-and-accessories/hose-shutoff/best-garden-brass-4-way-hose-shutoff-manifold?SKU=729970 since the beginning of the growing season and went to set it up today. Three set up easily, but the fourth, SHIT, I have the wrong size hose coupling replacement. Better luck tomorrow.

Alle-Vater Gott! Wandering god! Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter. Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wodan, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
