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.

Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Ka: 
Havamal 150.
A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.

​Outcome: 2nd Day of Yule; The Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice represents the shortest day and the longest night. Winter begins for us in this modern era.  We give HAIL to the turning of the wheel!  Today, the sun has reached her furthest point south.  From this day onward Sunna, the feminine aspect of the Sun, gains strength, returns coming northward, and eventually breaks winter's spell. Celebrate Sunna's return and the fertility she brings (Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson).
*The Winter Solstice happed @ 4:44 AM Central time.

Overcast with filtered sun, cool, no wind.

No workout scheduled for today.

Slow, frustrating start due to the CT (contour template) shuffle and a well-hidden SHF (shaper holding fixture).  It took tribal knowledge to know where the SHF was.  THEN I had access to the dimensions I needed.
*Raido/Ka right here.
*Too much food and good food @ today’s potluck.  My contribution was a larger-than-normal pecan pie.  Half of it was consumed.

PTA shower, bed, nighty-night.

God/dess Meditation: Wotan; Alle-Vater God!  Wandering God!  Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! 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, 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!\
