Muspelheim (Day of Vision)

Today I spent most of the day working on assignments for the Exploring Sensory Perception course. I continued my work transferring caterpillars to Milkweed plants. I went out tonight to take advantage of the sale at a local store. I spent way more than I should but that’s what shopping sales is all about. I bought four Nestabilties and two border/corner punch sets.


My rune today was Nauthiz (needfire, survival). This could be my work with the Monarch caterpillars. I have been working to transfer them to healthy plants when they have eaten all the ones near them. It is getting late in the season and I want as many as possible to survive.

Alfheim (Day of Openness)

  

Kenaz (torch, to know). I took my third test today in Calculus. I think I did okay. I will find out on Wednesday. I spent time outside with the Monarch caterpillars today. There are so many this late in the year. It worries me they won’t have enough time to turn into butterflies before it gets too cold.

Vanaheim (Day of Nurturing)


November 5th: Vanaheim (Day of Generating) I found out this morning that my grade adjustment for test #2 gave me a total of 101%. That bumps my average to 85.5%

I pulled Wunjo (joy) today. This is appropriate considering I am over the moon about my grade!

Asgard (Day of Understanding)


I taught class today. We made faux canvas cards. This is a wonderful technique and gives soft results. This is a sample of one of the cards. We watercolored then embossed. The rectangle was cut using a Nestabilities after the card stock was embossed.

My rune today was Thurisaz (thorn in the side). I see this as the challenge I face every day with my studying. I feel guilty when I am not studying but my eyes feel like they are going to fall out when I study too much.

Svartalheim (Day of Adventure) - Day of the Dead

Today we celebrate the Day of the Dead. The rune was Othala (Ancestral Home, Inheritance). I thought it was appropriate to pull Othala since it is related to our ancestors.
