Havamal 152:
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.

Rune Lesson: Beginnings can either be tough or beneficial. In this case, however, they seem to be both. A new beginning can either protect or destroy. While it may be destructive at first, there this hope for a new and better regeneration to follow. With the new beginning comes beneficial change. Whatever happens, the Great All-Mother is present and active.
*from creation to destruction

Lily was NOT a happy kitty when I put her in her crate to go to the veterinarian. Doctor checked out Lily extensively, saw no fleas, and felt the scabs. He didn’t hesitate to give her a cortisone shot for her itching, and Toby got his NexGard to be administered in a few days.
