Havamal 163:
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, passion, mystery, secrets kept, the end, comprehension of the driving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe, the end.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).

Rune Lesson: The All-Mother IS our awakening. Her maternal instincts drive us toward passions and mystery. I remember very well when still in Wicca, the All Mother visited me in a vision. She appeared to me on the left side of my bed. She told me she had something she wanted to tell me, but couldn’t because I wouldn’t understand. After I started in Heathenry, I shared this vision with a very good and trusted friend. She said that was SO Frigga/Frija/All Mother. As I have accepted the All Mother as my main deity, yes, this IS all about what she is. She knows SO MUCH but shares SO LITTLE, only as we can comprehend.

Well JsFnChst! Toby’s water bucket is iced over. I KNEW this weather change was coming. WHY THE FUCK didn’t I plug in Toby’s bucket yesterday? Now I have to do this in ice, snow and cold. I tired to take the extension cord UNDER the ramp to no avail. I had to scrape ice and snow away from the end of the ramp and tuck it in there. It’s didn’t take long for Toby’s heated water bucket to clear.

With the cold and snow, I was concerned for the strays; Ghost more than George, because I fully believe George has a place to stay. My thought was to put some kibble out in the breezeway. I set up some empty plastic litter containers to act as wind shield. Sure enough, Ghost showed up. I tried to gingerly take out some wet food but Ghost skedaddled. With hope, I put out the wet anyway. It didn’t take long for Ghost to come back for feeding.

OH SHIT! I forgot about my VA doc appointment!
*
Lab results were mostly favorable. Doc said the only thing out of what were the triglycerides. Everything else looked perfect!
*I did some online research about triglycerides:

Looks like there are things I can do to remedy this.

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. You’re the counterpart to Sunna, the feminine aspect of the sun. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano, let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
