8th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Discipline
The Noble Virtue of Discipline is a training to obey rules, a code of behavior or a branch of knowledge. It’s a method of systematic instruction intended to train a person within a given idea or method. Our Way is not an easy way. In many aspects, we fly in the face of the society around us. Be disciplined enough to stay Tru to the ideals of Heathenry as they unfold in your life. Be diligent in the study of your beliefs. Endeavor to honor the gods and goddesses of the Northern Germanic peoples (C.Reimer/V.Elmersson).

Havamal 69
No man is completely wretched, even if he has bad luck;
One man is blessed with sons,
Another with kinsmen, another has enough money,
Another has done great deeds (Larrington pg. 23).

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.

Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price

The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up

My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.

God/dess Meditation: Frija:
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!
