Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

AM Armanen Rune: Yr:
Havamal 160.
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.


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, 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).

Interpretation: Naivete (Teiwaz) leads to error (Yr).

Outcome: 39F/4C...we'll see...yeah, Toby will be outside this morning.

Good AM work; workload full
@ work for lunch; The Heathen Psyche, by Erik Goodwyn
Good PM work; workload @ ¾; safety meeting right at the end of shift. I was quick to express my frustration

1. at hardly any notice for the meeting.
   
2. with certain office personnel not wearing safety glasses when they come into the shop areas.

For the first time ever, I willingly left Essie in the back yard, out of eye or ear-shot, while I walked Toby; Meeka Park plus 3/5 of a mile.
*brisk walks are pretty intense in steel-toed boots.

Yummy dinner; garden salad and turkey kielbasa with kraut.
<>
My goodness, Lords Stubby & Long-tail are really hungry!
<>
WOO-HOO! My Federal tax return is ready for tomorrow's deposit!

Eh, nothing else worth noting.

Nighty-night

PM God/dess Meditation: Scata, winter goddess, fleet on your skis and let me be the game you bag with you bow. Stun me with your grace and beauty, tuck me in the skin-sack at your side, and then take me to your home where wolves howl. There, show me the crisp freedom of winter and wilderness. Just as you were ready, willing and able to obtain your revenge on the Ensi for the killing of your father, Thiazi, grant us the same ferocity in our lives. Direct us to be strong, able and favored of you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SCATA, as we honor the Scata that resides in us all!
