I want to explain something. Friday for many Heathens celebrates Freyja (Frouwa). IMO, that’s misguided. For me, Friday is Frigg’s (Frija’s) Day. Why? Simply because Social Sciences have declared it so: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/friggatriskaidekaphobia . Okay, so Freyja’s Day isn’t too ridiculous. It could also equally be Frey’s (Ing-Fro’s) Day. OMGs, all the F’s… It’s more important for me to recognize Frija, the Great All Mother on Friday, but then what the hela do I do with Frouwa and Ing-Fro who are also important to my Vanic belief system? Keeping the Saturn in Saturn’s Day, and realizing the Greek/Roman god Saturn, in part, is the god plenty and agriculture https://www.ancient.eu/Saturn/. This ties in nicely with Frouwa and Ing-Fro; hence, the reason I created my self-proclaimed. Tag der Fruchtbarkeit, or, Day of Fertility. This allows me to recognize Frigg/Frija on Friday and also recognize Frouwa and Ing-Fro on Saturday.

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.

Once they got past all their reports and into discussion, meeting really interesting. The bitch was about what seemed to be a back-door negotiation between the company and the Union over July 5th. The question came up about the Union not presenting anything to the body prior to its agreement. I’d have to go back to look at the email, but it seems the company wants us to take an L.WO. P (Leave Without Pay) for the 5th rather than clock on any kind of time off. Rightfully, LET THE BITCHING BEGIN! When leadership couldn’t directly answer questions, OMGs it became even more intense! Outcome of this debacle T.B.A.
*the good part of this meeting was my whole purpose was to find a committee, and I did! It’s the Machinists Non-Partisan Political League (MNPL). OH, HELA YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*it was also good to see old friends from Plant 2 out there.

Started cleaning out the Vue a bit, realizing that Toby’s car blanket is WAY overdue for a good washing, much more than my top loader can give. The corner laundromat and $5 = a clean, not stain free, car blanket.

Frouwa, most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us all!

Ing-Frô, you’re the Great God of Fridu (all-encompassing safety and protection), Ar (peace, good seasons), the good harvest and prosperity: you are indeed the god of this World. When the day to day wears us down remind us of pleasures and joys. Help us recall the wonderful excesses that brought our lives into being and which sustain the human spirit during good times and bad. Without you, there would be no life and certainly little delight. Thank you, Ing-Frô, for the rushing life spirit and the eternal play of passions that make our lives fruitful. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, ING-FRÔ, as we honor the Ing-Frô that resides in all of us!
