6th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Fidelity
As a basic ethical principle, the Noble Virtue of fidelity is the quality of being faithful or loyal. Fidelity is a characteristic that is worthy of emulation. We must remain loyal to who and what we are. Those around us need to have the ability to take us at our word, and our word needs to be our bond. A handshake is all that should be required to seal the deal in any verbal, written or implied contractual obligation between individuals. The devotion to our deeds must be of the utmost importance. (C. Reimer/V. Elmersson)



Havamal 44
You know, if you’ve a friend whom you really trust
And from whom you want nothing but good,
You should mix your soul with his and exchange gifts,
Go and see him often (Larrington pg.20).

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 look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side. 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
<>
Elder Rune: Eihwaz: Irminsul, the Cosmic pillar, inner strength, stress and difficulties, overcoming obstacles, need to have backbone to get through, endurance, “Shit happens, get over it! “, temporary cosmic consciousness, stability over external circumstances, resilience, the Shamanic link of experiences within the All. “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” (Friedrich Nietzsche).
*A2R5; Aett 2, root 5, Yggdrasil’s root of destruction

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: Yr:
Havamal 161:
A sixteenth I speak if a maid is reluctant,

To wake her lust and desire;
I change the heart of the delightful woman,
Then to me her wishes turn.


Lust/desire, seduction, reluctance, influence, second thoughts, a change of heart, the waxing and waning moon, lunar-like mutability of the feminine essence, the error-rune, conquering resistance through confusion, eventual perfection, Female mysteries, roots of the World Column, well grounded, the carrier of genetic material, God-woman, femininity, desire, sensual love, passion, perfection, Mother, chaos from which creation emerges, female principle in the Cosmos, the night, death and instinct, anger, falsehood, error and the oppositions found in humankind, mystical union, night, moon, well grounded, roots of Irminsul from which all life springs, woman as the opposite/balance to man, the descending Divine Feminine being.
“Think about the end” (List, 63).
*H3R4; Halbdutzend 3, root 4, Irminsul’s root of re-creation
<>
Rune Lesson: The reward for inner strength is the ability to influence. We take our life lessons and turn them into the ability to change hearts and minds. With that in mind, we need to be exceptionally mindful of that power and use it to form our eventual perfection.
*from destruction to re-creation

God/dess Meditation: Friday/Frija’s Day/An: Frigga’s Day:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan. 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! HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
