As you prepare for this ritual, make sure you have the following items on hand:

• A candle to represent the sun
• An apple to represent the earth and its bounty
• A bowl of water to represent the sea and its power
• A small piece of iron to represent the strength of the Norse gods and goddesses

Begin by finding a quiet, private space where you can perform the ritual without interruptions. Light the candle and take a moment to focus on the flame, allowing its warmth and light to fill you with strength and courage.

When you are ready, hold the apple in your hand and speak the following words:

“I honor the earth and its bounty,
For it provides for me and mine.
May the earth be blessed and fertile,
And may its fruits be plentiful.
Hail to the earth and its bounty!”

Next, take the bowl of water and hold it in front of you. Gaze into the water and speak the following words:

“I honor the sea and its power,
For it shapes the land and guides us on our journeys.
May the sea be calm and safe,
And may its power be harnessed for good.
Hail to the sea and its power!”

Finally, hold the piece of iron in your hand and speak the following words:

“I honor the gods and goddesses of the Norse pantheon,
For they are strong and mighty,
Guiding us on our path and protecting us from harm.
Hail to the gods and goddesses of the Norse pantheon!”

As you speak these words, feel the power of the gods and goddesses flowing through you, giving you strength and courage for the days ahead. When you are ready, blow out the candle and end the ritual, knowing that the gods and goddesses are with you always.

“Hail to Yule, the time of rebirth and renewal,
May it be a time of joy and prosperity for all.
Hail to the gods and goddesses of the Norse pantheon,
May they guide us on our path and protect us always.
So mote it be.”
