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

AM Elder Rune: Gebo: The mystical union of gift and giver, repay gift for gift, a fair exchange between people or gods and the Luck that accompanies it; freely exchanged, contracts, relationships, sometimes sexual, sacrifice, and hospitality, do not take more than we are willing to give, the voluntary sacrifice of resources.

Havamal 163.
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).
<>
Interpretation: A gift (Gebo) that leads to the Divine (Gibor).

Outcome: chilly

Good AM work; workload overflowing, Lead absent :)
Good @ home for lunch; both Toby and Socks ready to come out, Essie ready to love. No sign of Stubby or Long-tail.
Good PM work; a (safely) presumed christian told me I shouldn't say GODDAMN! Oh, he should never have revealed himself.
<>
Socks ready to go into his house.
Toby immediately out for a very well behaved trip to Meeka Park plus 3/5 of a mile.
*ya know, this whole thing about walking Toby immediately after work is never easy after 10 hrs work and still in steel-toed shoes.
*ARGH!
Stubby and Long-tail ready for feeding.
Essie out for equal time.

Polished-off the last of the Chicken Rotel Spaghetti. It was still a YUM!!!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY got some really good pics of Stubby and Long-tail; posted them on Facebook along with Essie, Socks and Toby.

Nothing really interesting on the television tonight, so I watched President Obama's most recent State of the Union address, on YouTube, Chrome-cast onto my television. With this being his last State of the Union address, I'm especially interested it.
*EXCELLENT, Mr. President, excellent!

All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wotan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
