Rune Lesson: In many ways our strength is our freedom. We have the ability to power thru any obstacle that might bind us. We also have the ability of Self-empowerment that affords us the power using our strong voice that shows our convincing, ever present, Divine breath! In this, we are free!

Shitty night at work. Difficult getting along with people. Got an email from the Union about layoffs AGAIN! This time they’re going back to March of 2015. My seniority date is Aug 12th 2016. I’ll either get laid off AGAIN, this time indefinitely, or I could get an offer for ventilators. We shall see what we shall see.

Alle-Vater Gott! Wandering god! Rune god! Wolf god! Raven god! Wodan!! Husband to Frija, the Alle-Mutter. Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wodan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wodan, as we honor the Wodan that resides in us all!
