Armanen Rune: Rit:
Havamal 149.
That I know as the fifth, should an enemy’s
Arrow come flying into the throng;
As bright as it might clash, I stem its power
Once I firmly fix my eye on it.
The exalted, the strength of Will, external power/strength squelched, introspective awareness, that which is passing, council, right, wheel, movement, rhythm, law, correctness, judgment, victory over the lower ego, holding, right order, the judge, advice, salvation, money, original law, that which flows away, religious feeling, ritual action/primal laws, orderliness in the world, the ritual, primal law/Urlag, things that are done correctly, spiritual feeling, ritual action, journey, Divine law, All justice, Rune of the cosmic rhythm of the worlds, wheels, personal empowerment.
“I am my rod (right), this rod (right) is indestructible, therefore, I am myself indestructible, because I am my rod (right)” (List, 53).
*H1R5

Interpretation: Social interaction (Mannaz) leads to personal strength (Rit).

1st check on all fur-kids

Outcome: 7hrs of not horrible sleep. 2st wake-up, still dark. 2nd wake-up, sunshine. I thought for sure I up prematurely but was able to go back to sleep for another hour and a half.

I brought Ziu back into the line-up of meditations. Believe me, I struggle with Ziu. Maybe that’s the way it should be. Yes, lore calls him the binder of the Fenris Wolf. Others also equate him with the god of the Thing, which is where I diverge…a bit. IMO, Forsizo would be the god, presider and judge at the Thing. Ziu, then, would be the Sergeant at Arms and enforcer of law at a Thing.
This is how I reintroduced Ziu:
Ziu
Ziu/Tyr, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing, enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

God/dess Meditation: Wodan; Alle-Vater god! Wandering god! Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter. 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, Wodan, 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, Wodan, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
