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
<> ​

AM Elder Rune: Jera: Harvest, 12th Rune of the Futhark, the number 12, cycles, a turning point, cause and effect, the Rune of return, two halves of a cyclic whole, harmony-in-movement-in-balance, improvement, expansion, growth, progress, patience, fruition of plans, the mystic union between Earth and the Cosmos, the result of a previous action, appropriate reward for the right (or wrong) action.

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

AM Armanen Rune: Eh: 
Havamal 161.
A seventeenth I know, through a wise law
To join two lives in love;
And everyone is willing, no virginal woman
Will leave me lightly after this.
 
Warns against frivolous, transient love affairs, the legal bond between man and woman, lasting love, two bound together by the primal law of life, unification, sanctity of marriage, the cross of wedlock, fulfillment, maintaining strict morals within the bonds of marriage, love, duality, bound by primal law, love, trust and marriage. Soul-mates, wedding, partnership, permanent bond, binding decision, hope, duration, horse, permanence and marriage as a law, unity of ego and you, sister souls, soul-love, God-Man-Woman, ideal love, twin souls, two made one, success, increase.
“Marriage is the raw-root of the Aryans” (List, 63).
<> 
Interpretation: A turning point (Jera) that leads to marriage (Eh).
* well, hopefully

Outcome: 8 ½ hours of REALLY good sleep; I think only one disturbance

1st breakfast; cold cereal, raisins added

Message in from VA:
*A1C @ 6.2, needs to be between 4 and 5.6
*liquid panel well controlled
*HDL @ 26, needs to be 40 or >

Another load of laundry

Under the advice of the VA to help bring-up my HDL, I’ve adjusted my exercise routine to include a 6-day routine of daily walking and weightlifting.  Evidently daily walking and plenteous fruits and vegetables isn’t cutting it.

Phone call inform an old acquaintance.  He wants to look for work; Spirit specifically, but he has no résumé.  WTF?  I talked with him @ length about a resumé, even to go so far as to re-write whatever resumé his temp employer has for him.  SMH…

PM God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wotan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
