Havamal 157.
A thirteenth I mention, when I sprinkle the son,
The young one, with holy water,
If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.
Inspiration, security, impending accidents that effect fate, life, birth: birth of the future life that is preordained for us, becoming, being projected, help in birth, son, bread, song, fountain, mountains, meaning of life on this planet/in this world, the power of becoming, reconstruction, Rune of continuous transformation, death and rebirth metamorphosis, return to the Mothers; the fountain as female symbol, the eternal spring of humans.

Interpretation: problems @ home (Othilla) leads to that which is becoming (Bar).

Outcome: new cat hanging around...thought it was Socks at first. Can't have this. Socks is pretty agitated. It wouldn't surprise me if Socks elected to stay outside today to protect his Princedom.

I've thought a lot today about my relationship with Heathenry. It might be morphing a bit. For the longest time I've taken a hard-line about HOW it's supposed to be expressed. Now, rethinking that a bit, I'm more along the lines of a Spiritual expression rather than a Religious expression. Besides, we KNOW that much of the information has been penned and no doubt fabricated by christians. We also know that christians did their best to wipe out all they could of our belief system. Is it that far out of the realms of possibility to allow the gods and ancestors reveal themselves to us today. Oh sure, if things are presented far outside the field of accepted Heathen practice there will be problems, but as long as there is an expression related to anything from the Northern European Tradition, it has to be considered. Sure, it must be noted as UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis). Just noting my own expanded thought process.

I have to do something with my core. Sit-ups are out of the question due to my presumed abdominal hernia. Planking is boring. I've started what I call chair-mini-crunches. I guess you might call it some form of isometric exercise, where I use my body against itself, without weights. I don't think this is doing any harm to my hernia, but it does make for a conversation with my doctor next week.

Donar, Son of Wotan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
