Dedication, faithfulness, fidelity, common law/legal marriage, warns against frivolous, transient love affairs, the legal contract 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 legal marriage, love, duality, bound by primal law, love, trust and marriage.

Rune Lesson:  One cannot have dedication to an idea, or to a relationship without good information.  We make smart decisions based on the information at hand.  Our inner Wodanic wisdom warns us against frivolous, or worthless love affairs.  We process information to make good decisions about with whom we choose to be faithful.  Otherwise we fall into the trap of a demeaning marriage.  Wodan grants favor in relationships.

Another I name, that all need to have
Who officiate as curing healers;
Know yourself, and you will know the world,
And learn to discern between evil and its causes.
 
Self-knowledge/awareness, all-knowing, discernment, witches/shamans/doctors/healing, causality, the primordial, eternity, primal fire, primal light, primal, primal bull, recognize the cause of an event, healing. that which is grasped or permanent, medical help, the healing powers of medical drugs, nurturing at the original basis, original cause, origin, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, contact with the transcendent, contact with the dead, life after mortal death, Mother-God, Creative Mother Principle, a physician’s rune and represents resurrection, eternity, and continuity, root of all material and cosmic phenomena, root of eternity, causality; the origin of time, cause and effect in the eternal power of becoming.
“Know yourself, then you will know all” (List 50).
*H1R2; Halbdutzend 1, root 2, Irminsul’s root of creation
<> 
Rune Lesson:  The best result of any relationship is that it can heal.  In many cases, as we gain teamwork, we KNOW, we are self-aware, of the causality in many situations.  The danger is, however, that absolute trust can create a certain amount of blindness.  Trust can put side blinders on us so we can’t see anything other than what is strait ahead.  While that may SEEM beneficial, we need to be aware of the world around us, too.  As we control our situation in its totality, our world is secure and safe.

WOO HOO!  I finally got that wasp out from Socks’ house! He wanted to go into his house this afternoon: excellent choice Socks.  When I went inside with him, THERE IT WAS!  It disappeared for a bit, but then showed up again on the sliding glass door.  I quickly grabbed a cup I was keeping inside there for just such an occasion.  I cornered him underneath the cup, but couldn’t get him to get into the back of the cup so I could cover the top.  Perplexed, at what to do, I had an AH-HA moment.  I opened the sliding glass door and edged the cup toward the opening.  I tipped the cup over the edge, then quickly scooted the entire cup over the edge of the door and off the wasp flew!  Mission successful!

From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes.

Well now that was a bunch-o-shit!  I was watching the last ½ hour a Clint Eastwood movie on a 2nd rate OTA station.  It took a bit of searching, but I found out it was “High Plains Drifter” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek9CwmjisLE.  At 1am, the movie wasn’t even over. Clint Eastwood was killing all the bad guys.  The station, whatever it was, went into some station identification, the right into a Gary Cooper movie without finishing the Clint Eastwood movie.  WTF was it with that?  They didn’t have the decency to finish one movie before going on to the next?  JsFnChst!

Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!

Conversely:
Outside the favor of Heimo, failure to integrate humanity with the Divine, without divine protection, possible dangers lurking, lack of preparedness, spiritual blindness, inability to embrace fear, failure to face the ultimate good in all things, tested by the natural Will/Universal voice, without the need for protection, the inability to see/understand/connect with what’s coming, an aspect of death, helplessness.

Rune Lesson:  Algiz is all about protection.  Rit is about handling incoming challenges.  Our protection that comes from Heimo is what gives us the example for HOW we can deal with incoming challenges.  How?  With an expansion of consciousness, we have the ability to take on any incoming challenges.  We know we have that genetic connection with the gods.  We know thru many examples how we can have the power take any external challenge and successfully squelch it.

Elder Rune: Pertho: 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 true growth.
Conversely:
The presence of negative Wurt, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret, delusions, fantasies, megalomania, outside the collective/individual consciousness, out of touch with reality, negative forces set in motion, that which is unknowable, the need to deal with uncertainty, unpleasant contractions of birth pains, secrets remaining secret, take no chances.
