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 offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

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
​<>

Picture
Elder Rune: Fehu (U):  Cattle, wealth, Ing-Frô; the god of abundance, Audhumla; the primal bovine, the ability to create and maintain wealth and the accompanying power, creative forces, Odhumbal, the primeval bovine, fire, beginnings, productivity, positive energy, life force, self-respect, personal power, one’s condition in life, generosity that needs to come with the social responsibility of wealth.
Conversely:
The negative blessing of prosperity, stagnant finances, lack of creative energies, productivity failure, and the inability to and/or create wealth, greed, disconnected from the life source, fear of failure, an ending, an unfortunate condition, fiery powers extinguished, atrophy/decline, failed ambition, lack of self-esteem, an ineffective beginning and an irresponsible misuse of power.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Gibor: 
Havamal 163.
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never

Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
 
The scald, awakening, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).
<> 
Interpretation: A good beginning (Fehu) leads to a good end (Gibor).
*okay, admittedly, not a good interpretation of Gibor, but it made good sense in the immediate.

Outcome: My health by the numbers:
Glucose: 102
Weight: 247
BP: 120/72
Pulse: 76

God/dess Meditation: Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you; part and parcel of our ever-expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
