  1. A special blessing

    https://thehouseofvines.com/2019/12/15/the-essence-of-our-religion-is-beauty/?page_id=44017

    I agree with this to a degree…beauty, devotion, sacrifice.

    I have a fellowship at my university, the Jewish studies fellowship, and one of the things I learned this year is that it’s considered a special blessing to do your required action, use / wear your required items but *make them beautiful.* I forget what this is called in Hebrew, but to make religious things beautiful instead of just functional adds to the blessing.

    Yesterday, I was listening to a lecture on St. Francis (he’s very, very popular amongst my students, even non-Catholic ones!) and while Francis reverenced his “lady Poverty,” he said that, to quote the lecture, “Poverty stops at the altar.” Religious items should be as lush and beautiful as we can make them.

    As a Heathen, I also hold this to be particularly sacred. Even if one doesn’t have a lot of money or any disposable income, beauty can take many forms. This doesn’t mean spending a lot of money. It means taking care with one’s shrine, with prayer, with religious garb, with anything we do for our Gods. It’s a Platonic ideal that beauty elevates the soul to the Gods and I believe that 100%. When I see ugliness being elevated as popular or “good” in media, in our culture, I know that there evil moves in many forms. I know to be vigilant; and I know to turn to tradition and the beautiful all the more.

  5. Have you heard about our lord and savior, Odin? If you're interested in heathenry, Norse paganism, mythology, or vikings in general, join me in reading the words of the Allfather this solstice season!

    Tomorrow night, on the eve of December, I'll start my annual reading of the Hávamál. It's the first book of the Poetic Edda, one of the main source texts for everything we know about Norse mythology. Written around the year 1000, this 164-stanza poem includes hints about ancient Norse culture, popular myths, and enduring life advice that is still relevant in modern times.

    This will be my 9th Yuletide reading, and I learn something new every time. I'll be reading 8 stanzas per night leading up to the solstice. This year, I'll choose 1 or 2 of the octet to post each night with commentary. I'll be using the same tag as last year, #21NightsOfHavamal, if you want to follow along.

  10. Blessings on Mani’s Day.

    May your path be kissed by the ancient magic laced with silver,
    And the wordless whispers of the Midnight Watcher
    Stir memories etched into your bones.

  16. Ulfheðnar

    Sing me your galdrar
    Glad of War
    Stomp the beat
    With the butt of your spear

    Tonight I wear the wolf skin
    Earth and sweat in my nose
    The pack and I are one
    Tooth and claw and wild grin

    We howl to your tune
    Shields in our teeth
    Let the madness come
    As swift as victory

    Sing us your galdrar
    War Father
    We whine at your heels
    Weapons waiting for your hand

    Release us on your enemies
    Foaming lips and feral eyes
    We are frenzy made flesh
    Taught muscles like bowstrings

    The fog of war thick in our heads
    Thick hides on our backs
    We howl through your dance
    Your songs build our rage

    Sing us your galdrar
    Battle Wolf
    Nothing can touch us
    Not fire not iron not fear
