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.
*no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.
*offered up some tobacco for Granny Aggie.

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: Pertho: Dice cup, issues concerning: the lucky roll of the dice, questions of luck, the consideration of Wurt/Urlag (the ordeal of Humankind), the Wurtâ; Urda (that which was), Werdanda (that which is becoming) and Sculd (that which is owed), the realization of hidden potential, interwoven yet independent Wurt, good fellowship and happiness, secrets revealed, the collective consciousness, the Well of Knowledge for true growth.
Conversely:
The presence of negative Wurt, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret, delusions, fantasies, megalomania, outside the collective/individual consciousness, out of touch with reality, negative forces set in motion, that which is unknowable, the need to deal with uncertainty, unpleasant contractions of birth pains, secrets remaining secret, take no chances.

Havamal 149:
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.
 
Freedom from bondage, the power of speech/song, mouth, arising, ashes, that which is offered, Wodanic energies, leadership, mouth, speech, the effort to convince, deed following the word, the Divine Breath, kingship, discussion, idea of that which is given/evolving, the spiritual power that is gained through speech, it is the breath of the world, its voice, strength that a person needs to rise-up in power, freedom from the bondage of the material world.
“Your spiritual force makes you free” (List, 51).

*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Good morning conversation with wifey.
<> 
¾ of a waffle (Toby got ¼), scrambled eggs with ham pieces, hashbrown from frozen.
<> 
Took down Lily’s kennel.  I’m in the process of discouraging her from taking over Essie’s area in the utility room.  Lily will get the dining room picture window.
<> 
 Toby and I out for a late afternoon, perfektly behaved, 30min walk.
*slightly cold, cloudy, north wind.
<> 
Gathered up recyclables and took them in.
PetSmart

BK for a late lunch.

I can’t believe I sat and watched most of this:
Indianapolis Colts v Kansas City Chiefs
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2019/jan/12/indianapolis-colts-kansas-city-chiefs-afc-playoffs-live
<> 
Vikings on the History Channel/Sling-TV

<> 
Along with her new place at the picture window in the dining area, Lily has also been introduced to the cat tree.  Essie doesn’t use it much, and it’s an effort to keep them separate.

Niece C_ had a birthday gathering at a bar on the west side, so I went.  I think she and I are forming anew relationship.  My best Heathen buddy was also there; however, not as part of niece’s party.  It was rather accidental.  He and I had a good conversation, too.  It was nice to get out if only briefly.

Last check on all fur-kids.  All fur kids are under warm shelter.

Fell asleep in the recliner.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit) Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
