No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.

Rune Lesson: Our home is our blessing. Within our respective heritages we are equally encouraged. In “Germanic Heathenry; A Practical Guide,” we get an Irminist’s perspective on how one’s home is our security:
“For the Irminic family, the house and household are both the source and the ‘last bastion’ of true frith, hospitality (in all of its Heathen sense) and that which is good and whole. As they say, ‘there’s no place like home’, and in a good, Irminic home nothing else rings quite so true. While even many Irminen may not ever ponder just what the house/ home truly is or embodies, they still have a better understanding and appreciation for what that underlying truth is (once they do in fact pause to consider it) and beyond all else, can fully discern and appreciate the holiness which is the Irminic house and home.
Our house is so much more than simply just the physical structure of the building; from a practical, ‘social’ point of view, the house typifies the family that inhabits the dwelling itself -it isn’t just the building, but the folk who dwell within that building (normally as kin) which constitute a complete depiction of a given house. Of course, this collective group of folk or kin is nominally the household, proper. Household is derived from Middle English houshold, which of course is a compound drawn from the Old English noun hús (house, dwelling) and verb, healdan (inf ‘to hold’). A literal translation of húsheald/ houshold/ household would be rendered as something like: to keep or hold one’s house or even to hold and maintain one’s home and the affairs of one’s house.(11)”

Not another stray. I saw an orange tabby on the porch that was driving Jasmine and Lily crazy. When I went onto the porch to discourage it, I noticed it might be a Manx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_cat I wasn’t mean, but I wasn’t welcoming either. Now I feel badly. It won’t happen again.

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!
