Midnight, a dog in my bed and a THUNDERSTORM! I went out to call Socks but
no response. Searched for Essie, hiding deeply in the hall closet.
Plans: work 10hrs
Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, 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!
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

AM Elder Rune: Ansuz (U): In favor of the gods, Wodan specifically, Wodanic wisdom, the Athem - Divine/vital breath, the force of creation, a higher source of inspiration, communication skills and divine ancestry, higher consciousness, mental stability, self-discipline, Wodan in his most favorable aspect.

Havamal 161.
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law
To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.
Unification, sanctity of marriage, the cross of wedlock, fulfillment,
maintaining strict morals within the bonds of marriage, love, duality, bound by
primal law, love, trust and marriage. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership,
permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage
as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal
love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.
Interpretation: Wodan’s favor (Ansuz) leading to partnership (Eh)
Outcome: There’s Socks! He “appears none the worse for wear” (13th Warrior).
Stopped off at the corner convenience store prior to work for a newspaper in
hopes of an article on the MLS’ win yesterday. There it is! The local paper
wont allow online access, but KC newspaper will: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/mls/sporting-kc/article1162346.html
Good AM work.
Home for lunch, much drier now.
Good PM work. Received my first bonus check with Weaver. I thought it a bit slight, but I’m not sure what I was expecting, just a bit more than this. I also noticed a 48cent pay raise on this check. It will help pay for the insurance that kicked in.
Strengthening exercise:
*Ab-roller
*Chair push-ups
*Reverse flys
Yummy turkey-steak, cooked in BBQ sauce, diced fried potatoes an ear of corn and a garden salad.
Call into niece and OKC for updates
It’s supposed to storm again tonight and Socks is just now coming out from
his Cat House. It’s going to be difficult getting him back inside for the night.
Brief family front yard time. Socks is on the other side of the neighbor’s yard and just wont get into his Cat House. I’ll have to call for him again in the storm.
Nighty-night

PM Meditation: Wuldar, glory-god, hunting-god, ski-god, dueling-god; Son of Sibba, step-son of Donar, you glide through the snow-clad forests bringing death to game and life to your people. Remind us that life feeds on life, and that the beauty of the prey is formed generation after generation by the culling ferocity of the predator. Let your Yew-bow be the great World-Yew under another guise. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, WULDAR, as we honor the Wuldar that resides in all of us!
PM Clarification Rune: none
Comments: cared for animals
Alaf Sal Fena!
