Been spending a lot more time in regular praxis this year, something I struggled badly with during all the unforeseen struggles of 2022.  Tonight I honored all the Gods of my hearth cult and the Dagda for the first time.  I always forget how much better ritual makes me feel.

Lady Hel

Hail Lady Hel, she who watches over those who have passed. Bless me with you welcoming embrace when my time has passed.

In Asgard's halls of gold and green, Where gods and goddesses can be seen, There stands a queen of beauty rare, Sif, with braids of golden hair.

She is the wife of Thor, the strong, With lightning in his hammer's song, But Sif's own power should not be denied, For she is goddess of the fields, where life resides.

With gentle hands, she sows the seed, That grows to feed the godly breed, She blesses the harvests, bountiful and grand, And keeps the peace in Asgard's land.

But Sif is more than just a wife, She is a warrior, full of life, With a fierce determination in her eyes, She fights alongside Thor, and never dies.

In battles fierce, against giants old, Sif's sword and shield, with courage bold, She fights for Asgard, brave and tall And earns the respect of one and all.

So let us sing of Sif, the fair, Goddess of fields and golden hair, With beauty, strength, and courage true, She is a shining star in Asgard's blue.

some reminders from Odin:

• Don't run your mouth 24/7, shut up and just listen.

• Do not get carried away with alcohol, it can turn a wise man into a fool very fast.

• Reciprocate the nice things your friends do for you.

• Do not feel ashamed if you are lacking more than others. All one needs is clothes on their back and a roof over their head.

• Find happiness in yourself and do not rely on others for this happiness.

(all from the Hávamál)

[ If you use any of the Poetic/Prose Edda to justify your racism or bigotry gtfo btw ]

There doesn’t have to be an end goal or purpose when interacting with a deity.

People often seek out gods with an end goal of receiving assistance or guidance.

But you can also just interact with them for their company. You can hail them, give blot, or even just be in their presence for no other reason then you can.

"The conservatives who call themselves Christians? They aren't actually Christians. They needed an excuse for being bigoted assholes and Christianity just happened to be right there. They're about as far from following Christ and doing what he did as we are from the fucking edge of the universe."

My atheist husband gets it.

A Prayer for Self-Worth

Modified version of Kira R's "A Morning Prayer for Freya" Freya, Goddess of Love and Might... Inspire me to walk through my day with pride in my own being, with confidence, with power. Goddess of fiery passion, bless me with the insight... that I am a person of worth in the eyes of my Gods the eyes of my ancestors and of myself... That is my prayer for this day, oh great and powerful Amber Lady... Hail Freya, shining Goddess of gold. I praise You.
