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
<> ​

Elder Rune: Mannaz: The human, Heimo; our genetic connection to the gods, humankind, cooperation between people, the special human, the human intellect, awareness, kinship, social structure, the ability to work well within a social structure in an effort be effective within it, social interaction and order, perfected intellect, attract support from your peers, attainment of common goals, Divine structure.
Conversely:
Problems relating with Heimo and humanity, without cooperation between people, the inability to work within a social structure in an effective way, self-delusion, intellectual arrogance/ignorance, bigotry, inability to make peace with others, destructive social nature, closed mindedness, failed social interaction and disorder; anti-social behavior and lack of Divine structure.

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

Picture
Armanen Rune: Ar: 
Havamal 153.
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.
 
Dangers calmed, challenges, sun, primal fire, nobles, destruction of physical darkness reborn into spiritual light, confidence, Ing-Frô, still, comfort, the Sun, the path to the Light, will, leadership, all that which is beautiful and Sun-like, change to good, virtues, honor, glory, rewarding work, completion, light, Divine spirit, power contained in light that washes away darkness, wisdom, beauty, virtue, trust, honor, fame, Rune of the initiate, Symbolism of the Lord of the Light-elves that returns home from darkness, Rune of peace and good seasons.
“Respect the primal fire” (List, 56).

Interpretation: Social interaction with humanity (Mannaz) leads to completion (Ar).

​4th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Truth
Truth is elusive.  It’s as relative as the individual. What one person or group accepts as Truth, another does not. There is no universal truth. There is no one-way or right way of seeing anything. What we accept as truth is merely that; our truth. No one person or group has the ability to dictate their truth onto anyone unless we allow it. The most important truth, is that we remain true to ourselves.  Search for your own truth.

*Vaygar Ingvald Elmersson.
Outcome: discombulated, it seems…

Neighbor lady, one I rarely see, or with who I rarely interact, came to the door with two loaves of bread.  Honestly, at first I didn’t know who she was, but as she clarified, OH, NOW I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!  I hope she wasn’t offended.  I think she and her husband are odd ducks.

*Queen Aslaug is dead, shot in the back by a cowardly arrow delivered by, surprisingly enough, Lagertha, who re-ascended to the throne of Kattegat.
*Ragnar is in the hands of King Ecbert of Wessex, who will no doubt be turned over to King Ælla of Northumbria for execution.

It seems my Mannaz/Ar came in the form of antisocial behavior and challenges.

Shower, bed, nighty-night.

God/dess Meditation: Frija:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wotan.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!
