Wine for the Allfather on Odin’s Day.

Hail Odin!
Grant us the insights of Yggdrasil,
Of things that are
And are to come;
Of life and death,
Of the turning wheel
And its bearing
Of all that is
Toward the crushing
Jaws of Fenrir’s rage,
And Jörmungandr’s
Heaving coils,
And Raganarok.

Shall we not heed the wordless tug of ancient memories and follow the turn of the road towards landscapes marked with ancient stones and dimly lit forests filled with sacred wisdom unspoken?

It runs through your veins, the life of the Gods who call to you. This is why their summons feels like the invitation of old friends. For it is precisely that; a home-coming. The ancestors greet your return with a roar and pound their fists on laden tables in the halls of the Allfather.

Hail Freya-Frigg on this Freya-Frigg’s Day!
In your company, Great Lady,
May our steps be sure;
By Brisingamen’s light, Great Queen,
May our path be clear;
In Fensalir’s brooding depths
May we cast our offering,
And toward Folkvangr’s scented meadow
Turn our stride.

Your existence is the product of a thousand generations of your ancestors who have lived and loved and honoured the Gods. Honour them by truly living this life they bequeathed you. Honour them by walking in their footsteps in the ways of the old lore.

More and more are awakening to their heathen nature. More and more are recognising the whispers they have heard since before they could remember as those of the Gods of their ancestors.More and more are heeding the call back to the Old Ways. For something new is rising, formed of the Old.

Yggdrasil is the interconnectedness of all things. It is a reminder that all limbs of existence draw their life from the same source, and that every bough and leaf on this cosmic tree depends upon the next. Yggdrasil makes a mockery of the illusion of division that too often fuels hatred.

Saviours are for those who abrogate personal responsibility. The Gods do not come to save us; the path is our own and a walk requires effort. The Gods call, they guide, but we must put in the legwork. And where we cannot walk, we must be prepared to drag ourselves on the way.

If we do not cast our limited vision deep into the wells of mystery as Odin did, then we shall not see as Odin saw, and what we imagine as sight shall be no more use to us than our groping ignorantly in the darkness of a stormy night.

Hail Freya-Frigg on this Freya-Frigg’s Day!

Seidr-weaver,
Völva,
Queen —
Be to us as the full moon‘s light,
And shine the fire
Of Brisingamen before us,
Guiding us on the paths
Of the ancestors.
