Sumbel Horn to Þorr

This is what I am planning to say at Sunnauuenda during Sumble. This may change a little, but I am pretty happy with it as it is so far. I like the idea of having a horn truly prepared, rather than having a general idea of what I am going to say.

Mighty god, Ving-Þorr: all creatures tremble

Before his mighty fury

With Mjollnir in your hand, no foe can conquer

To he, who shattered Hrungnir's Heart- and head

I raise this horn to your mighty deeds!

Many fearsome enemies have been felled by your hand

Oðinn's son, Fjorgyn's son

He who wades Kòrmt and Òrmt, and both the Kerlaugr

each day to join the gods in council

Bravery you have, and strength also

and the wit to trick Alvis to turning stone at sunrise

Asa-Þorr, man's ferocious protector,

Wæs Þu hél!

Invocation to Þorr (sung)

Hrungnir's slayer

Mjollnir's master

I call thee

Champion of the everyman

Asa-Þorr

I call thee

Oðinn's son

Thunderer

I call thee

Father of Magnus

Father of Moði

I call thee

Mighty one, join us

In your honor

A horn of mead is lifted

Asa-Þorr, be with us

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!
