Honoring Mani

So today we honor Mani, the God of the moon. Since it's still cold out then I'm not going to be out and about. I will be looking at the moon through the window and ponder him. I will be thanking him for the gift of the moon. Now one of the things that I have noticed about Norse religion. In respect to both Sunna and Mani. Is that Sunna is the goddess connected to the Sun and Mani is the god connected to the moon. There is no god and goddess in Norse mythology. No moon goddess and no sun god. I will be meditating on the moon and thanking him with offering and libation.

HAIL TO ODIN!!!! HAIL TO THOR!!!!

Honoring Sunna

Hail to All,

Today we honor Sunna and the warmth that she will be bringing as the warm weather starts getting closer. As today is Sunday and next to last Sunday of January, I give thanks to Sunna and I know that soon it will be warm out. I can feel the weather changing and I can feel it being a little bit less cold. Sunna brings the warmth. She's the sun in many ways. I did a ritual to her, said a prayer, offered libation and burned incense.

I gave her a gift of thanks and the hopes that this weeks weather will be good.

HAIL TO ODIN!!!! HAIL TO THOR!!!!

Bath Day

Hail to All,

Now this one is a very unusual one and I think that it might be connected to fact. On Saturday we really get down and scrub off our bodies. Baths seem to be something that all cultures did until it was declared evil and wrong by the conquering Christians. So today I added some bath salts and soaked in the tub, feeling all the stress of the week vanishing. I also washed my body and felt ready to take on the world. This is a ritual that I will be doing more often and making one bath, a week, special then the others.

HAIL THOR!!!! HAIL ODIN!!!!

Thorrablot (2015)

Hail to All,

Today is the first day of Thorrablot. Since we really don't know when these rituals started, I'm going to assume that they were done during the day. Thorrablot is a Icelandic holiday and is from today till the 25th of this month and is in honor of Thor. That makes 9 days of celebrating. However I'm only going to be celebrating the first and last day of Thorrablot. I hope that all of you have a good one and may Thor watch over you.

HAIL THOR!!!! HAIL ODIN!!!!

Honoring Freya and Frey

Hail to All,

Today is Friday and thus we honor Frey and Freya, both connected to fertility. Freya is also the goddess of war and leader of the Valkyries. So while both siblings do have the same roles, Freya has a bit more and a lot more responsibility. She's also considered a sorceress and seerer. So I'm going to do a one card reading in honor of her. Another deity that was most likely honored on this day is Frigga, wife of Odin. Now the site that I use stated that she wasn't an important goddess.

I snort at that. I believe that Frigga was a very important goddess and thus deserves to be honored. This morning I did a small ritual in honor of these three gods. I added Odin, since he's my Patron god. So I honored Odin, Frigga, Freya and Frey. I burned incense and I poured libation. I'm sure some fundie is going to come on and say, "That's not how it's done." I stick my tongue out at them. The gods know that what I'm doing comes from the heart and I believe that my gift is just as good.

I hope that you all have a good one and I'll be back tomorrow.

HAIL ODIN!!!! HAIL THOR!!!!

Boy, I Haven't Been On

Hail to All,

Dear Gods, I haven't been on in over a year. Sigh, I really need to fix that. So I'm back on Blogspot, mainly because a friend of mine told me that Wordpress is getting hacked into. Sorry, I'm not interested in getting hacked and I don't like it when people get into my private information. So I'm using this until they fix the problem. So I'm still keeping this blog up and running and I'm sorry about the huge gap between this past and my last post.

A lot of things have happened since I was last on this blog. For one: I've been a Heathen for over a year, two: I was bullied to the point that I had to take down one of my Youtube channels, which sucked, three: I'm starting to get my hands on some books that will go into my Heathen library, and four: I really haven't been practicing my religion like I'm suppose to. I'm not happy and I'm not proud of that. But I'm back and I'm determined to practice it. I'm not about to let some fundies cause me to lose heart.

Personally that's the problem with the fundies in Heathenism. They attack you to the point that you don't want to be a heathen anymore. This doesn't help our numbers and this doesn't help our religion. Yes, I know it's to weed out those that consider this a 'hat' religion. And what I mean by that is just taking a religion down and wearing it like a hat. However there are those out there that are serious about their religion and don't appreciate others putting them down.

I had to put up with the drama in High School and I think that we should all consider ourselves old enough to not take part in such things. I'm going to be getting back to the sagas and I might end up doing the same post that I did two years ago, though I will be focusing on 1-4 and then next Wednesday do 5-10. I look forward in continuing post and I'll be around.

HAIL TO THOR!!!! HAIL TO ODIN!!!!

Weekly Offering #3

This marks three weeks since I've fully practice Heathenism. Even though I'm not part of the wider Heathen community, and do a more down to earth kind of practice, I do consider myself a Heathen. I gave offerings to the Ancestors, Land Spirits, and Gods. No one was out today, which meant that I could pour my offerings and not worry about someone getting offended. On another note: I decided to wait until next month to buy my Thor's Hammer, or even August.

I'm buying things for the Litha and Lammas, which includes candles, an altar cloth, and incense from a store called Hex. It seems so strange that the next two Sabbaths, one when the sun is at it's height, and the other is the first Harvest Festival. This year is going by way too quickly.

HAIL ODIN!!!! HAIL THOR!!!! HAIL FRIGGA!!!! HAIL FREYA!!!! HAIL LOKI!!!!
