AM Armanen Rune: Sig:
Havamal 155.
This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.


Salvation, will, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, blessing from above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light, inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force, wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray, of inspiration, wisdom, and illumination.
“The creative spirit must conquer” (List, 57).
<>
Interpretation: Cooperation (Ehwaz) leading to victory (Sig).

Outcome: Good sleep!

Good AM work; workload @ ¾
@ work for lunch; a WOW moment with “The Heathen Psyche” by Erik Goodwyn.
Challenging PM work. We may get our overtime negated so a 2nd shifter can come to first via a slightly staggered shift. I wonder if the lead-person will get her unfettered overtime fettered? When the shit comes down I doubt if I'll be able to keep silent. Hel, I've probably already shot-off my mouth to colleagues to get myself into trouble.
*WTF happened to Ehwaz??????????????????????????

Eggs added to the habaneros potatoes. Three burritos for dinner. Still damned good!

Essie in back yard; OMGs Toby has done some digging!
No walk for Toby as we monitor a new cat presence hanging out on the other side of the fence. I have no idea if this cat is a jumper so I won't leave her alone. Essie is being so curious, but I won't let her curiosity get the better of her.
*I'm thinking this kitty might be a girl. I don't think Socks or Stubby would've tolerated it otherwise.
*An orange tabby has been hanging around, too. It must be a girl. You should've seen Essie's reaction!

OMGs...shouldn't sit down...

2 new kitties hanging around = all sorts of new problems. I can't have this shit!

PM God/dess Meditation: Wotan;
All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! 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!
