Blessings on Tyr's Day.

Dark the day
And darker yet
As chaos closes
With unplacated rage
Its maw about the sun;
Yet be thou clothed still
With honour,
And be so bound
In troth to justice
That your hand shall
Ever incline to sacrifice
To satiate the night.

Kalakaar, T'araan believes the charge of seeking knowledge and understanding, of truth in all things, is the highest honour.
What does honour mean to you?

Blessings on Tyr's Day.

Though twilight come
Be that hand which stems
The bleeding of the day
Into nightfall before its time;
Though all must fall,
Be yet the speaker and doer
Whose words and deeds
Bind the ravening jaws
That would devour the sun.

Blessings on Tyr‘s Day.

Against the storm that strives to hide the sun, set your face;
Before devouring ignorance be the staying hand;
Where vows are cheapened and words are made bereft of worth be a treasury of troth;
And where justice fails, tip the scales
To favour the defenceless.

The sacred space this evening.

May the Gods guide us and the ancestors surround us with their wisdom in these uncertain times. May we walk honourably where dishonour is rife, and may we speak and act wisely where ignorance abounds.

Tyr’s Day Blessings.

Face down the advancing reaver,
And serve the devouring jaws
The hand of justice;
Stand fast before the storm
With honour,
And stay the darkening day.

Blessings to all this Tyr‘s Day!

If ever a time there was that honour required its emissaries, it is this time;
If ever a day cried out for the hand of justice, it is this day;
If ever a world groaned for words of troth fulfilled likewise in deeds, it is our world.

Blessings on Tyr‘s Day.

That the spring should not come wherein trees do not bear their leaves,
And lest the clock tick up to dawn and the sun still not be seen,
Set your hand fast against the fury
That would rend the day
Before its time,
And with justice hold back the night.

Blessings on Tyr’s Day.

Stand firm before the roaring chaos and bind its jaws with the strength that the Gods help you to realise you have always possessed. Stand with honour, your ancestors behind and beside you, your word sure and your deeds affirming them by their justice and equity.

Blessings on Tyr’s Day.

Be the justice the world seeks,
Speak with honour
And let your deeds
Clothe those words;
Be the water in the dry place,
The dawn where daybreak is long due,
The bulwark against the encroaching horde;
Though you be but one,
One alone, stand.

There is a sense in which Ragnarok is always imminent. It is held back only by our words and the deeds with which we enact them. May we seek ever to walk our path honourably, justly and with a determination to stand against the ravening chaos.

I think it's crucial, in the sense that many lives depend on it, to fully understand Trump's character.

According to Jared Kushner, as reported here: "'No one can go as low as [Donald Trump],' he said. 'You shouldn’t even try.'

"I found this baffling for a moment. But then I understood: Kushner wasn’t insulting his father-in-law. He was paying him a compliment."

This is a troubling article, and well worth a read.

Blessings to all on Tyr‘s Day.

Before raging Fenrir,
Against the jaws
That would consume the sun,
Prolong the day;
Fixed in troth to honour,
Though the moon
Would be devoured,
Defend the light;
Justice be your vow,
Your vow so dressed
In deeds that show
Your word is true.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery symbolizes sacrifice and honors unidentified American soldiers.

Blessings to all this Tyr‘s Day!

Let honour be our path,
And justice be that line
By which our steps
Are measured;
And by the Hand of Tyr
May this be ever
Our heartfelt vow,
Till twilight‘s shade
And Hel receives us
Into her renewing embrace.

#Laichwiltach Nation’s Hereditary Chief Tsahaukuse's (aka George Quocksister Jr.) traditional, #handwoven Chief's #hat. Made from yellow #cedar bark with beading & an #EagleFeather attached.
Sitting in front of the woven hat is a row of some #handcarved miniature canoe #paddles, carved from red & yellow cedar. Chief Darren Blaney of the #Xwémalhkwu aka #Homalco #FirstNation #carved over 100 of these paddles. They were carved in #honour of the many young Homalco lives lost.

Today's poem:
