AM 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, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, 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: transformation (Dagaz) leads to that which cares, maintains and protects (Hagal).

Okay, Toby, we need to be about our walk.  Toby let me know he was done after 3/5 of a mile, but got pissed when I finished the rest of the 2/5 mile.  WTF Toby?

The VA was supposed to call me at 07:30. Call into the VA @ 09:00.  Left a message for podiatry.

Well hel, the veterinarian’s office is closed this week so I can’t get the primary fur-kids their flea treatments.

Separated recyclables; WOW, it is full!  Can’t put it off any longer.  Tomorrow is take in the recyclables day.

Concerned about the heat’s negative effects on my lilac bush, I placed a tomato cage around it and created a make-shift canopy to protect it.

Call into Aflac…wish I could get out of it, but can’t until December.  Until then, I’m trying to get $60 from a wellness exam clause.

A WINDEFUL telephone conversation with my WONDERFUL niece about what to get for her son/my Great Nephew for his birthday.  I know he’s going to get a TON of toys, but I want to engage his young mind.  I opted to get him a Transformers graphic novel, age appropriate, from Amazon.

In this new moon phase: I performed a blessing ceremony in Agathagart imploring the gods and ancestors:
Unto me here I call on you Wotan.
Unto me here I call Ingvy-Frey.
Unto me here I call Donar Mighty.
Unto me here I call Ziu the brave.
*
Unto me here I call on you Frouwa.
Unto me here I call Friga wise.
Unto me here I call Sunna’s power.
Unto me here I claim Idun’s prize.
*
Unto me here I call the Altmâgâ.
Unto me here I call all the Wights.
 Unto me here I call the wih-holy,
Unto me here; into this place.
*
I implored them all that my employment situation HAS to change for the better.  Spirit is a good option.

Shower, bed, nighty-night

PM God/dess Meditation: Wotan; Alle-Vater God!  Wandering God!  Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! 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, Wotan, 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, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
