A third I take, when danger threatens,
To bind the enemies through magic:
Thus I dull the steel of the furious opponent.
Like the staff, his sword does not cut anymore.
Donar, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, protection from danger, impermeable, an awakening, the power to turn, the divine will to act, the law of eternal reincarnation, power to become, Return, new emergence from what's apparently old and dried-up, formative power of the seed, the thunderbolt, targeting goals, activity and the phallus, mental telepathy, projection of the will, fierce protection, psychic attack & defense, penetrating time & space, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).

Interpretation: Inner strength (Naudiz) leads to danger thwarted (Thorn)

Outcome: I was planning on a trip to the KC area, but opted against that as I just plain didn't get around here early enough to justify it. I hope to make that trip at a later date.

Moisture, but no real rain.

1st breakfast; homemade breakfast burritos with eggs, jalapenos and cheese.

I spent most of the morning researching and writing a meditation for the Goddess Holle; which leads me to believe Frau Holle was one of Granny Aggie's favorites.
*Goddess Holle really pushed the “hard work” thing. Right in the middle of creating the meditation, my computer locked-up and I had to hard-reboot which wiped out my work instead of having the ability to recover it. Usually Apache Open Office allows for recovery, but for some reason, it didn't this time. I just chalked it up to Goddess Holle.
Here is what I wrote:
Holle, you who seem to be the perfect counterpart to Alle-Vater Wotan. Just like Alle-Vater, you come to us with many names. Just like Alle-Vater, you appear to us with many faces. You have become known to us through place-names, fairy-tales, sagas, legends, poetry, customs, traditions, mythology, and yes, even food. You are the young maiden. You are the Old Crone. You are everything in between. You reward the diligent worker. You punish the slothful. Your Spirit permeates humankind. We recognize you as a German Goddess! Alle Mutter Holle, Goddess holy and wise, We give you a most HEART-FELT HEIL, as we honor the Holle that resides in us all.

Ya know, I have absolutely no interest in going to the Paddy's Day parade. It's always the same thing; people wearing green, lots of catholic stuff, Shriners, and people from the Great Plains Renascence Festival: most of them aren't the original anymore. It's lost its luster.

Late morning 2nd breakfast, cold cereal and an English muffin with strawberry jam.

Well hel, I guess I'm completely at ease leaving Essie in the back yard. I'm not sure how long she was there unattended; for more than an hour, maybe two. My only concern now is, jumpers from the outside.

Overcast, cooler; Toby and I out for an early afternoon 1-mile walk.

The small group I was with @ the big screen left @ halftime, so I hung out with a familiar couple @ the bar to finish the match.

Clocks are set forward one hour, save two that I think will set themselves. I HATE THE TIME CHANGE! Why can't well-enough be left alone? Why can't the time change be abolished? Why can't Kansas be one of those states that doesn't cooperate, like:
Arizona
Hawaii
(some parts of) Indiana (some parts?)
US territories:
American Samoa
Guam
Puerto Rico
Virgin Islands

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!
