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, deflecting an opponent, making ineffective, protection from danger, enemies bound through magic, 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: The ability of action (Uruz) leads to deflection of an opponent (Thorn).

I went to send-in my health numbers from last Saturday into my VA account. What a wasted effort. Yeah, I got it that imagery, positive thinking, and meditation is a good thing. It’s just nothing I would do on a regular basis in an effort to lose weight. There was no invitation to turn in my last weigh-in numbers.

Not enough work on the shaper table. I spent all night in layout/drill/trim.
*once again, I was asked to work overtime Saturday. Once again, I refused. It was intimidated that if he, the lead-man, couldn’t get enough to work Saturday, it could become mandatory, just like it became mandatory earlier this week. I blew that off as unlikely. I called the lead-man a bit later, asking, “How many do you need?” “Two,” he said. I offered my Saturday, if needed, in an effort to NOT make Saturday mandatory for others; in essence, taking one for the team. So, now I’m working a 54-hour workweek.

Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
