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.

Havamal 148:
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, 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, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).

Rune Lesson: Hagalaz is both dangerous and beneficial. Thorn is both dangerous and beneficial. Hagalaz has the potential to destroy and feed. Thorn can deflect and threaten. Both Runes are problematic. Which is to say, life brings both the bitter and the sweet. We have to be ready to deal with both. Not all that is bad is really bad. Not all that is beneficial is totally beneficial. This Rune combination is a realistic view of life.

Jasmine has taken to laying across where I do my Rune readings. Dare I pronounce her my Rune Kitty? Dare I try to think this is somehow Frouwa in the flesh?

Note to Self: Toby’s 11pm feeding and insulin.

Last check on all fur-kids.

A bit of 50 Shades of Grey https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2322441/ There are those who don’t like this series of movies because they say it’s not a good representation of the BDSM lifestyle. I understand that to a point, but to take the series in its totality, it shows how much control Anastasia, as a submissive, has in the relationship. The dominant, Christian Grey, eventually comes to his semses BECAUSE of what Anastasia brings to the relationship. I like this series A LOT!
