Plans: work 10hrs
All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! WODAN!! 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, Wodan, 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, WODAN, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
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: Wunjo (R): Sadness, disruption in the Clanic relationship,
questionable social contacts, loser, miserable, loneliness, shunning, weakened
family ties, social and domestic disharmony, the inability to attain a wish,
strife, alienation, failed social relationships, Fridu is challenged, the shadow
side of Wodan.
Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

AM Armanen Rune: Eh:
Havamal 161.
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law
To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.
Unification, sanctity of marriage, the cross of wedlock, fulfillment,
maintaining strict morals within the bonds of marriage, love, duality, bound by
primal law, love, trust and marriage. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership,
permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage
as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal
love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.
Interpretation: Loneliness (Wunjo) leading to unification (Eh). Huh?
Outcome: Socks was SO ready to go into his Cat House this morning.
WOW! 62F/17C on the way to work this morning…and this is JULY! I don’t have
a problem with this AT ALL, but I know it cant last. I’ll cherish it while it’s here.
Good AM work. Time to think, though. It’s just dammed sad (Wunjo) how my
life has manifested. I so eagerly sought to make lemonade out of a life filled
with lemons. I tried to make a college education work, but it just hasn’t. I
tried to make a life choice with aircraft. Hopeful (Eh), but nothing has ever
afforded me an opportunity work anywhere in the industry for any length of time.
Even my last shot at an education in the aerospace industry has proven for
naught. No one can imagine the frustration of starting over at age 60. I’m
making the same wage I was making problem 30yrs ago,
*Didn’t come home for lunch because I knew Toby would be fine. However, I
DID make a quick trip to the QT (pun intended) for a news paper.
*Good PM work; well, at least for me. Not so with a machinist who smashed
off a finger from just behind the fingernail. Cutting it off would have been
more merciful. Smashing it is just goddamn horrid.
62F/17C this morning, and it’s 79F/26C on the way home
from work. Not a bad July day at all!
Oh my, I have the YUMMIEST test underway; red potatoes, green/yellow peppers,
onions and turkey kielbasa. If you could only smell this…Ahhhhhhhhhh…I would
have shared it with you but…
EVERYBODY out for family front porch time. This time, besides long sleeves
and pants to the ankles, I was armed with insect repellent.
*a trip to the fancy shed ISO mortar tubes was a success. I also noticed
Toby has started digging around it. I expressed my displeasure.
*I just love seeing Essie and Socks still so in love.
Eh, all are settled-in; well, all but Socks who has yet to decide of he wants
to go inside his Cat House or spend the night outside.
Nighty-night

PM Meditation: Brego, long-bearded god; son of Wodan and Gunnlod; husband of Ostara; you’re the god of poetry and eloquence; the adherent god of skalds. You have the Runes carved on your tongue. Your inspiration is enhanced by a drink from the glorious mead. Our oath to you, as we partake upon your silver cup called Bregofull; we swear our never-ending faith and allegiance to the gods and ways of our ancestors. We stand firm with them as we live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, BREGO, as we honor the Brego that resides in us all!
