July/Heumânôd 2, 2016 Tag der Fruchtbarkeit

(Heumânôd = Hay month)

LOTS of rain first thing this morning.
*no sign of Socks

First thing this morning, and I have to imagine Wunjo and Os are still in play from yesterday because I haven’t done my meditations yet, there’s a Hammerstorm member who has messaged about a friend in need of a minister for a wedding.  Due to the immediate nature of the situation, I jacked-up my usual fee from $100 to $150.  We’ll see what happens.

AM Armanen Rune: Os: 
Havamal 148.
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.
 
Mouth, arising, ashes, the power of speech/song, that which is offered, freedom, Wotanic 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).
<> 
Interpretation: Emotions suppressed (Laguz) leads to strength that a person needs to rise up in power (Os).
<> 
Outcome: Rain has stopped.  I’ve called time and time again for Socks to no avail.
<> 
Goofed around the house most all morning.
<> 
Brother called in need of my help.  He needed a ride to a nearby auto parts store.  I took Toby with me so he could run around the area while my brother was tending to his business.
<> 
2nd breakfast from frozen: pancake-on-a-stick and a burrito.
<> 
Still no sign of Socks.
<> 
In touch with the prospective wedding clients.  I feel good about helping them out.  They need a ceremony tomorrow @ 2PM.  It amazes me how “ministers” treat others, which is why they ended up contacting me.

Euro 2016
Germany v Italy
*@ the half, 0-0
*65th min TOR/GOAL DEUTSCHLAND!
*78th min goal Italy, penalty kick because some dumb Deutscher had his hands up in the goalie box and was called for a hand-ball
*end of regular time 1-1
*end of 2 periods of additional time 1-1
*on to penalty kicks
*probably the WORST set of penalty kicks I have ever seen, nonetheless, Deutschland came out on top, 6-5 and moves on to the round of 4.
*I sure had fun, though, @ Sporting Casey’s http://www.sportingcaseys.com/

Threatening skies on the way home.  It seemed out west was calming.  It didn’t’ take long for things to go from threatening to storming.  This is Socks’ second full day away from home.  I’m beginning to worry.
<> 
I spent time completing the wedding message for the prospective wedding couple.  For a throw-together message it’s pretty damned good, if I do say so myself.

PM God/dess Meditation: Saga, we greatly honor you, goddess of history; 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
