Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Picture
AM Elder Rune: Pertho (U): Dice cup, issues concerning: the lucky roll of the dice, questions of luck, the consideration of Wurt/Urlag (the ordeal of Humankind), the Wurtâ; Urda (that which was), Werdanda (that which is becoming) and Sculd (that which is owed), the realization of hidden potential, interwoven yet independent Wurt, good fellowship and happiness, secrets revealed, the collective consciousness, the Well of Knowledge for growth.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today


Picture
AM Armanen Rune: Bar:  
Havamal 157.
A thirteenth I mention, when I sprinkle the son,
The young one, with holy water, 
If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.

Inspiration, security, life, birth: birth of the future life that is preordained for us, becoming, being projected, help in birth, son, bread, song, fountain, mountains, meaning of life on this planet/in this world, the power of becoming, reconstruction, Rune of continuous transformation, death and rebirth metamorphosis, return to the Mothers; the fountain as female symbol, the eternal spring of humans.

Interpretation: Luck (Pertho) leading to security (Bar).

Outcome: Good early AM online!

Toby and I out for a morning walk.  It wasn’t that warm out and he was already turning into a slug-muffin @ 3/5 mile.  He really does have boundless energy in the cold; not so in any kind of warmth. 

FINALLY leaving town @ 09:30.

It was an excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT day in search of newly discovered ancestors.  The lady in the office @ Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church was ÜBER helpful!  It was because of her I found the graves of my 2nd Great Grand Parents on my Mother’s side, David Schmidt and Marie Nachtigal Schmidt.  I did the happy-dance twice while there.  So that brings a total of SIX ancestors within the same cemetery @ Alexanderwohl Friedhof in Goessel.
*any further ancestors @ Lehigh are going to take a bit more work.  I only knew of the one cemetery along the main highway, but the lady @ Alexanderwohl told me of two others.  Since they both were pretty small, I walked both of them and found nothing.
*Subway for lunch in Wichita.
*OMGs the trip to Medford, Oklahoma paid HUGE dividends!  I hadn’t been to Medford in DECADES!  I finally found Medford in a round-about sort of way.  I had to ask the local post office about “the old Mennonite Cemetery” and this one lady knew EXACTLY what I was needing to know.  When I DID find it, I was a bit perplexed.  It was a couple of miles or so outside of Medford.  There was no longer a church building there, save the obvious front porch.  The ENTIRE place was fenced-off and secured.  Now WTF, I thought to myself?  It was as if my 2nd Great Grandmother, Agatha Dirksen-Reimer took my hand and led me.  There was no reason to park where I did, but I did.  There was no reason to go to that particular corner of the cemetery, but I did.  There was no reason to start walking that particular fence-row, but I did.  There was no reason to stop that soon, but I did.  There was no reason to look down, but I did.  THERE WAS HER GRAVE, right there along the fence-row, right there in the corner, right at my feet.  I ABOUT SHOUTED!  Now, no one will EVER be able to convince me my ancestors don’t walk with me.  I fully believe my grandma Agatha was an AMAZING woman!  Now I know a more direct rout to Medford for a revisit.  NOTE TO SELF; don’t use the interstate.  Use 42 (right there by my house), to 49, to old US81, to Medford.
*Pertho and Bar ALL Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home shortly after 5PM…PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BBQ chicken on the charcoal griller…perfektly made!  Garden salad…perfektly made.  Veggies on the charcoal grill?  Well, that’s going to take a bit more learning.

Bundesliga http://www.bundesliga.com/en/# 
*no matches scheduled 

MLS (Major League Soccer) http://www.mlssoccer.com/ 
(home team/away team)
Houston 1-4 Dallas (Texas derby)
Salt Lake 1-1 San Jose 

HOLY SMOKE!  I happened again.  Smoked a bit, then off to Soul Travel Land.  Whomever it is taking care of me during my traveling, is doing an excellent job.  I was brought back literally a few seconds before the music ended…AMAZING!

PM God/dess Meditation:   Die Wurtâ: 
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” will form now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, will be, but we cannot yet see. 
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.

PM Clarification Rune: none
