Havamal 147.
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, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, protection from danger, enemies bound, 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, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).

Interpretation: transformation (Naudiz) leads to victory over the enemy (Thorn).

Outcome: this goddamn warmth must end! October has absolutely failed me.

Good AM work; learning more about the KB saw
*WOO-HOO! There are about 10 plastic grocery bags full of aluminum cans, and I was granted ownership! I’ll take them out 2 at a time.
Good lunch; started the first Helgi poem.
Good PM work; completely worked myself out of work on the KB saw; deburred to finish.

Frija, Great Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wotan. Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!
