Outside the favor of Alle-Vater Wodan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wodanic wisdom/Divine communication, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, spiritual shunning, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, tough-love Fathering, the absent All-Father, the shadow/dark/mysterious side of Alle-Vater Wodan.

A good night at work; no dilemmas, a fair amount of time allotments turned in.
*it’s always nice when this old man can shine! My former Super and my favorite Union Steward came over from plant 2 looking for a specific hydro-block with an unknown location to run a hot order of parts that were SUPPOSED to be in my area. Long story short, I was able to find the hydro-block, run the parts, and save the day (as I blew the smoke of my knuckles)!

Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan. Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far-seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all! HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
