Offering prayer to Ancestors

Ancestors, accept our offering
As we have invited you to our feast
Bestow your favor upon us
In the days to come

Offering prayer to Freyja

Freyja, bride coveted by dwarves and giants
Beauty of untold legend
Goddess of love, Sessrumnir's mistress
Accept our offerings and prayers on this day

We raise these offerings to you
Lady of Folkvangr
That you may bless our works this year
As you have surely blessed this Spring

We ask your blessing, Freyja
For these joyous days ahead
Filled with growth and renewal
Hear us, mighty goddess!

Ostara Invocation Prayer

The Wheel Turns
Blossoming and blooming abound
The earth awakens and life is renewed
The world rejoices and life is abundant

Freyja, we call you, beloved goddes
She, from whom Brisingamen was stolen
And the world turned cold with her woe
Join us in the sacred space (place)

We ask you, goddess, to join us in our feast
Let this first day of Spring
Echo the joy of that one
When Brisingamen was returned to you

Divine beauty, seid-mistress
Freyja, who brings fertility
Join us in our celebration
Of this, the first day of Spring

Ancestors, join us
On this happy day
Let us celebrate together
Those who have come before
With we, who join here now

We ask that you share our fest
Share in our celebration
We invite you to our table
Forefathers of all our houses

Getting Started

This first post is to let readers know what to expect. This blog is entirely religious in nature and will contain poetry and thoughts concerned with religious topics. I will post songs, invocation chants, poems, and other random thoughts that have to do with the gods, the celebration of the seasons, or any other topic that I feel is appropriate. In time, I hope to have many faithful reader who love to ask questions and leave feedback. I am open to opinions, but no lewdness or crude language, please. I will begin shortly with my first official post, and will put up the short faining that I wrote for our spring celebration.

Thank you!
