An old song came into my head as I was going to sleep last night.  I turned an old Xian song into a Heathen one.  HEY, they did it to us so I have no problem with this.
“I’m going that way.  I’m going that way.
Lord Ing-Fro the one that I adore is with me each day.
I hold on to him, and never will stray.
He favors me every day, all day
I’m going that way.”

I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.

God/dess Meditation: Wotan; Alle-Vater god!  Wandering god!  Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wotan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter.  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!
