Niflheim (Day of Generating)

Today was a planting day. The local women were here and we did a ritual for new beginnings and Earth Day. We blessed wildflower seeds and milkweed seedlings. After ritual we went outside and planted them. Later in the evening my husband planted the two Live Oak trees and Lantana we bought earlier in the week. Later I realized that today was Niflheim – a day for generating. I think I honored this today by planting and generating new life into the seeds and seedlings.

Asgard (Day of Understanding)

I went to Tuesday’s Morning today looking for a cover for my Kindle. Finding that the ones they have didn’t fit, I decided to wander around. I found two small inexpensive wooden boxes that I would be great for my runes and rune cards. I brought them home and found they were too small. I went back to get the two larger boxes. In the first box I put my runes, rune cards, triquetra rune necklace, and rune altar cloth into one box. My Freya gemstone stole/necklace, my blue felted Volva bag (with its goodies inside) and a set of oak carved runes went into the other box.

Jotunheim – Freya’s Day (Day of Discovery)

I spent time this evening listening to Kari Tauring’s Volva Songs CD. The taping and knocking music is hypnotic. It was as if I became a part of the music. Time seemed to fly by and I couldn’t believe I listened to the all the songs. I only remember hearing one. I felt refreshed and renewed.

Midgard (Day of Immersion)

Today Jerry found a baby turtle. We believe it is a gopher tortoise that was came up out with the recent rain storms. I rubbed her (I think it was a female since the bottom shell was flat) until she felt safe and started to come out of her shell. We found a sheltered area of tall grasses so she will be safe from the birds and other animals. I wish her many years of safety. We went to the store today and bought two Live Oak trees. They are the latest additions to the forest we are growing. The moon is just as beautiful tonight as it was last night. It is amazing to be able to see the whole moon behind the white sliver.

Svartalheim (Day of Adventure)

The moon is a sliver although I can see the entire moon. I can imagine a faerie sitting on the sliver fluttering her wings.
