Armanen Rune: Tyr: 
Havamal 156.
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.

I stayed up to connect my Roku device https://www.roku.com/index and have it talk wirelessly to my new Sling-TV service https://www.sling.com/.  As techno-stupid as I am, I was still able to accomplish it.  Now, I’m not one to pay for television, but when Sling offered to send a free Roku device withy 2-month paid up front for their service, and service is $20 per month.  So now, my TV has an antenna, Roku, Chromecast, it can play both DVDs and VHS tapes.  Who woulda thunk it?

God/dess Meditation: Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you; part and parcel of our ever-expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
