Armanen Rune: Is:
Havamal 154:
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.
Calm in the face of distress, comfort, hypnotic power of the forceful will, course of affairs, Rest, Ego, das Ich, Positivity, activity, personal will, self-domination, self-control, confidence, determination, extension of the Divine center, the upright human being, the awakened Self, influence, personal power, magical power, power to banish evil, unity in the Universe, duration, action in the Cosmos, activity, will, self-domination, influence, personal power, self-discipline, unity in the Universe, duration, magical powers, axis/column/Irminsul of the world, action in the Cosmos, elimination of that which is unnecessary, calm.
“Win power over yourself and you will have power over everything in the spiritual and physical worlds that strive against you” (List, 56).
H2R3; Halbdutzend 2, root 3, Irminsul’s root of destruction

Rune Lesson: There is NO DOUBT that the All Mother is that which brings calm in the face of distress. The All Mother’s hug is a true comfort. We may be broken down. We may be stressed. That is when the Divine Mother is at her best. We can be cradled in her arms experiencing her unfettered love and support. She leads us. She guides us. Through her we have the determination to carry-on in life.

Talked to a neighbor who works with a rather large local remodeling contractor. I asked him if he ever did jobs on the said and he said he did. I talked to him about enclosing the breezeway and getting his price. With his price I can see if Elite Renovations is on target or not.

God/dess Meditation: Tuesday/Ziu’s Day/Ziu/An: Tyr
Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing, enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!
