Welcome those into your house and your life as you can. In today’s world, we cannot trust everyone with whom we come in contact; however, we can exercise caution and be as welcoming as possible. When anyone is welcomed into your home ensure they want for nothing. Lavish upon them food, drink and comfort. Similarly, be a proper and respectful guest when you are welcomed.

AM Elder Rune: Ansuz (Inv): Outside the favor of Wotan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wotanic wisdom, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, spiritual shunning, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, tough-love Fathering, the absent All-Father, the shadow side of Wotan.

Essie and Toby handled the extra people quite well. Socks was another story. After they left it took a sincere effort to calm him down. After a bit of hide-n-seek, I had to bodily pick him up and carry him into his house. Once I left him in there and gave him a few minutes; checking on him again, he was quite settled into his house.

It has been a great day, AND a great several days off from work. One more day off tomorrow, then it's back to the grind...unfortunately.
<>
I have NO idea what time we all, the fur-kids and I, settled-in for the night. I know it was after midnight; maybe 01:30. It's still raining and it's definitely getting colder. The wind is beginning to howl. Winter is finally here in Oz.

Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
