(Skeidentimond = Summer’s End Month)
In the old Norse calendar, there were only two seasons, winter and summer.
Both of them started at the Equinoxes. So, actually, today is the first day of winter.
After I posted journal to blog:
*Vikings, season 1, episode 5, on DVD
*Mt Hope brother brought his payment!!!!!!!!!!
Plans: work 10hrs, finally get the OKC aid straight
AM Meditation: Manostac/Monday, we meditate on Mano, god of the moon:
Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver
messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. As you fly silently
on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might
aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and
whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano let us see the
goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE
GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
Elder Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today
AM Elder Rune: Kenaz (U): The torch, light, shaping, fabrication or
fashioning of primordial material, the hearth fire, brightly burning, knowledge,
divine inspiration under control of human craft, knowledge from within,
intuition, Self-awareness, creativity and transformation, clarity of thought,
the application of the Divine.
Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today
AM Armanen Rune: Ar:
Havamal 153.
A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me
To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.
Confidence, Ing-Frô, still, comfort, the Sun, the path to the Light, will,
leadership, all that which is beautiful and Sun-like, change to good, virtues,
honor, glory, rewarding work, completion, light, Divine spirit, power contained
in light that washes away darkness, wisdom, beauty, virtue, trust, honor, fame,
Rune of the initiate, Symbolism of the Lord of the Light-elves that returns home
from darkness, Rune of peace and good seasons.
Interpretation: Intuition (Kenaz) leading to wisdom (Ar).
Outcome: NOW it turns cool after Toby and I could have used it last weekend on the walk.
Better AM work
Cooperative home for lunch
Better PM work
To bank to insure accounts.
To Wal-Mart to finally aid OKC\
*damn, still didn’t get it quite right.
To McDs for dinner, because I KNOW I’m going to feel like cooking.
Okay, Toby is beginning to chew. I came home to a few insignificant things chewed up. I can restrict him while I’m at work, hoping he doesn’t start chewing furniture. If this continues, I wont be coming home for lunch to let him come inside to eat.
Evening is too short when I have things to do after a 20hr day.
Autumn/winter finding occurs @ 9:29PM

Night
PM Meditation: Heimo, 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 Ensiwë
g, 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!
PM Clarification Rune: none
