Lady Sekhmet, Lord Maahes, I pray to you to end this slaughter of Palestine's children, to let them safely pass into Egypt

Lord Zeus, Lord Tyr, I pray to you to bring justice to those killed and who's homes were stripped from them

Lord Ares, Lord Thor, I pray to you to give strength to those protesting bravely against this corrupt government funding this genocide

Lord Njordr, Lady Hathor, Lady Aphrodite, Lady Demeter, I pray to you to bring abundance and love and comfort to Palestine's children, for mercy upon the land that has been destroyed, for life to be salvaged and to flourish

I pray to all the gods for this genocide to end and for the corrupt system that feeds this genocide gets the justice they deserve.

From the river to the sea

Free Palestine

Generic Norse Prayer 🕯️🤍

Hail to the gods, hail to the goddesses, hail to the mighty, hail to the wise.

Hail to the earth, hail to the sky, hail to the sea, with its ebb and flow.

Hail to the sun, hail to the moon, hail to the stars, that light up the night.

Hail to our ancestors, hail to our kin, hail to our friends, and hail to our foes.

May the gods bless us, may the goddesses guide us, may the spirits protect us,

May our deeds be honorable, may our words be true, and may our hearts be brave.

So be it.

Hey, does anyone have an idea of which gods would be fitting to thank and pray to in regards to transportation? I imagine Njord could work especially in terms of oversea transport but are there others you can think of? I’m thinking specifically about trains because i am very thankful for them.

Skadi: "You'll never find the body" is such a boring threat. A better threat would be, "You'll never stop finding the body." Freyja: Or just say, "They'll be finding parts of you for at least four months... and you'll still be alive for three of them." Skadi: Now that's a threat! Njord, covering Freyr's ears: *horrified silence*

Njord’s Day

Njord is the Asatru God of the sea, of adventures and riches and treasure. In the modern day, its less likely that we’re sailing to find treasure, but the idea of an adventure to recieve something valuable is something we all relate to. It doesn’t have to be a physical voyage to find something materially valuable, journeys of self discovery can lead us to valuable conclusions or discoveries, and that’s a common way people celebrate Njord and his adventures now. Today, try to think of something you’d like to learn, discover or see (either literally or metaphorically) and consider asking for Njord’s assistance. Good offering ideas - sea water - coins in sea water / water - beach stones/shells - Dark beer - Mead - Thick/strong insence

Sharing a bit of UPG: underrated, lesser known aspects of some of the Gods!

Hi, people! We’ve got some beautiful rain over here, today, and it’ll soon be warm enough for me to plant my garden! How’s everybody doing? Today, I want to write up a fun and laid back post to share with you all a few of my UPG’s concerning some of the norse Gods and their lesser known aspects! Since my posts are often focused on historical practices and beliefs, I thought it’d be fun for me to write a bit about my personal experiences, for today. Without further ado, let me get into it!

A while ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to talk to a fellow pagan about my thoughts on Eir and my experiences with her! I thought to myself some of you might be interested in hearing about this, since I have posted a few prayers to Eir in the past, but I have not gotten into too much detail concerning my worship of her. The reason for this is that since she is a deity whom we unfortunately don’t know much about, I found it quite difficult coming up with a clear, personalized Eir worship. Hence, my work with her ended up being very casual. Some could say, a bit messy! But I do my best! What I mean by “messy” is that I don’t hold specific events in her honor, but I pray to her quite regularly, for good health and the like.

Now, I mostly want to address one aspect of Eir that’s less spoken of, but which I share with other followers: her ties with intellectuality, scholarly practices and the like. She’s often regarded as a Valkyrie, and as such, it’s possible to associate her with Óðinn, making her ties with knowledge all the more prominent. In my experience, praying to her for help with studies is not unheard of, and it’s certainly not a bad idea! The study of medicine is quite complex, and to master such a skill requires much reflection, especially considering that Eir was primarily worshipped during an era when proper medicinal care was harder to access and all the more necessary. Which is why, in my opinion, associating Eir with anything related to research, studies and the like isn’t too much of a reach!

As a Goddess of medicine and health, amongst other things, she’s often described as kindly and compassionate, even gentle. However, though she is very kind, of course, my experience with her is a bit different! In the sense that, she can have quite a serious aura about her. When it comes to medicine, she takes things quite seriously. So when you pray to her for help with healing and the like, she’s kind of like a fussing mother who tells you to take better care of yourself while she’s making you her homemade remedy!

The next deity I’ll be touching on is Njörðr! Lots of historical evidence, as well as little details I have noticed along my spiritual journey have led me to associate him strongly with leadership, and even fatherhood/parenthood. Many of the people I’ve met and who worked closely with him told me his presence felt fatherly and noble, and I have also experienced this feeling, during the few times when I strongly connected with him. While he generally isn’t viewed as some sort of “King of the sea”, especially not when compared to Ægir and his large hall and opulent feasts, I still tend to associate Njörðr with leadership. For one, due to Yngvi-Freyr’s ties to the concept and the many parallels that can be drawn between these two deities. However, a small, seemingly insignificant detail has also made me to see him as a leader figure. It is the fact that he is more often than not depicted holding an oar! The oar is a symbol of the sea, of course, but there’s something else I came to think of. I was reflecting on this once, during adoration, and thought to myself: “He carries the oar because he isn’t one who stands at the prow and gives out orders, he is one who rows along with the other men.” He accompanies us and leads by showing example! Of course, this is just one of my personal interpretations of the symbol of the oar in Njörðr depictions, and there can be many possible explanations to the presence of this symbol. This interpretation is quite emotional and subjective indeed, but it feels right to me, especially given how a handful of other Njörðr followers have shared this thought with me!

Next on my list is kindly Frigg! Something I find to be very unfortunate is that many pagan sources will boil down her domain to one singular concept: family. Sure, she can indeed be associated with marriage, pregnancy, children and the like. But reducing this Goddess to just these things, for the simple reason that she’s a female figure, and the wife of Óðinn is quite crude (I would even say misogynistic, depending on the context) in my eyes. She is a complex deity whose domains of influence are wide, in my experience. For example, one of her aspects that’s quite prominent in the myths is her ties with divination, fate and prophecy. It’s even said that she knows the fate of all but won’t reveal it, and that she’s adept at the divinatory arts. The extreme resemblance between her character and that of Freyja, which has led many scholars to believe they might have been the same deity at some point in time, has made me draw parallels between the two and eventually associate both with magic, or seiðr. I have asked for Frigg to help me improve my tarot and rune casting skills, in the past, and each time, she has delivered! In that sense, she can be viewed as a patron for those who practice witchcraft, divination or other magical arts.
