Ritual of Rest After Labor

Grass is shorn, the field made clean,
Blade laid down, its duty seen.
Sweat to soil, breath to sky,
Work is done, the task passed by.

Now two weeks of stillness come,
Hearth is tended, spirit one.
Hands that toiled shall now be free,
To drink of peace, like leaf on tree.

Odin guard my mindful hours,
Freyja bless with gentle powers,
Thor keep storms and strife away,
While I in quiet strength shall stay.

I give thanks to land and breath,
To life, to toil, to hard-earned rest.
So let it be, the spell is cast—
My body heals, my spirit lasts.

The Gulls of Njörðr

One white-wing came,
a watcher of waves,
herald of hunger,
harbinger of gifts.

Then sudden storm-burst—
seven more soaring,
a circle of sky-born,
Njörðr’s swift kin.

Eight wings of omen,
eight paths unfolding,
like Sleipnir’s gallop
across sea and sand.

They smelled not sweetmeat,
but spirit’s intention,
the gift of the Gothi
laid forth with honor.

So the sea-father smiled,
the landvættir gathered,
and gull-cries carried
your prayer to the tide.

And we honor you this night.

Odin Poem 4

Odin, mighty god of war
With eyes that see all, and wisdom to share
Your spear, Gungnir, strikes true and swift
Your ravens, Huginn and Muninn, bring you gifts

On your eight-legged steed, Sleipnir, you ride
Through the realms of Asgard, Midgard, and Jotunheim
Your cloak of feathers allows you to fly
And your magic staff, Gjallarhorn, echoes through the sky

With your one-eyed gaze and golden beard
You rule over the Aesir, our noble lord
You sacrificed yourself for wisdom’s sake
And hung from the world tree, Yggdrasil, for nine days

Odin, Allfather, we honor and praise
For your bravery and strength in all our days
May your spirit guide us through battles and strife
And lead us to victory in this mortal life.

Your foes, always at a kill

With your mighty steed, Sleipnir
Eight-legged and swift as the wind
You ride across the battlefield
Leaving destruction in your wake, my friend

Odin, Allfather of the gods
We praise your name with pride
Your strength and courage inspire us
As we fight, side by side

So let us raise a horn of mead
To the greatest of the gods
Hail to Odin, forever more
May his legend never fade.

Sees all that is known.

And guides them with his wisdom and might.

King of the Norse gods,
His wisdom is unmatched,
His power, absolute.

And the god of death,
But he is also the god of poetry,
And the patron of skalds.

With this poem we speak,
With the Viking spirit at our peak.

May you continue to guide us,
Through battles and strife,
For you are the god,
Of wisdom, war, and life.

Hail to Odin,
King of the Norse gods,
May your power and wisdom,
Forever be ours.

Odin Poem

Odin, father of gods
All-seeing, wise and strong
Hanged from Yggdrasil’s tree
Gaining knowledge for us all

Ruler of Valhalla’s hall
Warrior’s god, and shaman’s guide
With your ravens at your side
You grant victory in battle

Giver of inspiration
To poets, artists, and kings
Your runes hold power and mystery
And your spear never misses its mark

Odin, lord of the slain
We honor you and your name
May your wisdom never fade
And your kingdom never fall.

Thor Poem 3

Hail Thor, son of Odin, mighty god of thunder,
With your hammer Mjolnir, you strike down your foes,
From the realms of Asgard, you defend Midgard,
Your strength and bravery are unmatched.

Hail Thor, fierce warrior and protector,
We sing your praises and offer our praise,
For you are the guardian of the nine realms,
And the guardian of our hearts.

May your hammer never lose its power,
And may your strength never falter,
Hail Thor, our mighty god,
Forever and always, we are yours to command.

About Heathenism 2

Heathenism, a religion of old
Honoring the Norse gods and goddesses bold
The same deities the Vikings did adore
A path open to those who feel a connection to their lore

To follow Heathenism, one must seek within
For the mind knows what is nearest the heart
Each person their own judge, their own kin
Finding their own way to worship and chart

The gods and goddesses of Norse lore
Are many and varied, each with their own domain
Odin, Thor, and Freya are just a few more
And each person may choose their own deity to claim

Heathenism is a path of individuality
No one way to practice, no set beliefs to follow
But all who walk this path are united in their loyalty
To the ancient gods and goddesses, their stories and their hollow

So if you feel a connection to the gods of old
If the stories of the Vikings speak to your soul
Then join the ranks of Heathens, a path to behold
And let the gods and goddesses guide you on your journey whole.
