Havamal 157:
A twelfth one I sing, when I see through the brush
The hanged one swinging from the hemp;
He climbs down from the trunk, must tell me his tale
When I carve the Runes right.


Rebirth, renewal, rising from the ashes, excitation, revelation, mysteries revealed, sacrifice, the telling of a tale, rebirth of the Sun god, fertility and/or destruction, generation, power, success, wisdom, duties fulfilled, art of concealment and hiding, rebirth into the light - life of the soul, the power to make situations turn completely around, spiritual understanding, the power of regeneration, warrior strength, justice, balance, personal sacrifice of the father, resurrection/reincarnation/born again; “Do not fear anything, even dying cannot kill you. Better to die than to be dead alive” (Gorsleben).
“Fear not death - it cannot kill you (List, 58).

Rune Lesson: We journey toward a rebirth. We know that a lack of movement cannot be beneficial. In order to drive-on, we seek wise council from any new revelation set before us. We can only make wise decisions as new information comes along. To use old information may make for our demise. We have the law of the cosmic right on our side and all mysteries will be revealed!

With the serious cold coming, I decided to open the window in the kitchen leading into the hallway (thank you JA) to create a better warm air flow. There has been a makeshift covering over the exhaust portion of the unused heater. For safety's sake, due t the close proximity of the covering to the space heater, I removed the covering. Jasmine quickly jumped up into it to check it out. Strong heater in the living room, space heater in the hallway, and a strong heater in the master bedroom should do the trick...I hope.

Rune Lesson: The 13th Warrior https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120657/ speaks to the nature of luck:
“Luck often enough will save a man, if his courage holds.”
Heathen luck is something we carry from generation to generation. It is fixed. It’s Örlog, as compared to Wyrd. I compare Örlog to the frame of a the weaving loom and Wyrd is the weave. The frame does not change. The weave does. Örlog is what we carry. Wyrd changes as our actions in daily life changes. That being said, as we know our Örlog we are aware of ourselves. As we are aware of our Örlog we can discern much.

God/dess Meditation: Thursday/Donar’s Day/Donar/An: Thor:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

God/dess Meditation: Tuesday/Ziu’s Day/Ziu/An: Tyr
Ziu, god of selflessness; of war & glory, one-handed god, sacrificial god, Sergeant at Arms at the Thing, enforcer of law & order, bravest of all gods; you chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties and help us keep our fears bound as tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Sunnastag/An: Sun’s Day, Paltar/An: Balder, you’re the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan 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 us 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.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Tag der Fruchtbarkeit (UPG)/Day of Fertility/Saturn’s Day. Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you as part and parcel of our ever-expanding past. As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt. We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.

Armanen Rune: Bar:

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.

Rune Lesson: We KNOW we have our connection to the gods via Heimo. We KNOW that connections brings shielding as long as we use the stories of our gods as our example. We don’t expect our gods to be there to save us from our situation, but we take their example and pull ourselves out with our own kenning. Our connection to the gods via Heimo is our blessing enough. Thru this are we encouraged.

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Wodanstag/An: Odin’s Day. Heimo/An: Heimdall, HEAR ME! Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods. You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. 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. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!

Armanen Rune: Ka:

I took Toby north to Kellogg. It was slow going, of course, but he did pretty well. He was able to life his leg to pee without falling; PROGRESS. Once at home, knowing the hallway project was underway and Toby could not use the ramp, I tried to get Toby to use the front porch steps. Toby looked at me like I had twelve heads, “You gotta be fucking kidding me Dad.” He let me pick him up to carry him onto the porch.
*
I went out for my own 5 block walk and told a several neighbors who I know love him about Toby’s condition:
J’sW
Mr and Mrs R_
Preacher
The glass lady
*cold, overcast, northerly wind
<>
Ya know what? FUCK ‘EM! I was able to get Spirit my passport info, but have STRUGGLED to download the workers comp info form. FUCK ‘EM!

God/dess Meditation: Alternate Dienstag/Ostara/An: Idun, Trustworthy goddess; wife to Brego (who is the adherent god of scalds), keeper of the golden apples of youth and eternal life, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. WE GIVE YOU MOST A HEART-FELT HEIL, OSTARA, as we honor the Ostara that resides in us all!
