Havamal 160:
A fourteenth I know, Volkrast, the dwarf,
Sings early at the gates of dawn,
To strengthen the Aesir, to empower the Alves,
But to myself, All-Father, to gain wisdom.

Rune Lesson: The Hagalaz is one of those problematic Runes. On the one hand, it’s hail. Here is Kansas, we know the destructive power of hail. It can tear the shit out of a roof. It can smash the windshield of any vehicle. It can flatten a wheat crop. Often times it’s the precursor to a tornado. On the other hand, that frozen shell holds the promise of regeneration once melted. With that in mind, we know with the aftermath of hail we are stronger for our survival. We can sing our praises toward the deity that gave us the strength. We are stronger for the next occurrence of disaster. We are strengthened. The gods are strengthened. All spirits and ancestors are strengthened. Together, as a team, we rise.

3-eggs sunny-side-up, bacon, whole wheat toast with strawberry jelly.

Journal work; I still don’t think I accomplished what I needed to accomplish.

For the 1st time, Jasmine bolted out the back door. The warning of this possibility was on her KHS paperwork, but there has not been a problem with this…until today. She took off down the ramp, stopped at the gate, looked out and seemed to ask, “Where the fuck am I?” I followed her to try to corral her, and she shot back across the breezeway over to the recyclables. Again, “Where the fuck am I?” Now she was ready to go in the back door. Silly kitty.

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!
