Given our responses during our latest poll, I will start to post different ways you can perform the rites and rituals. Keep in mind that what we will be going over is considered theological reconstruction - a process that aims to restore religious practices to their founding principles. This involves systematically developing religious beliefs and theories backed by source material to form a practical basis for the reconstruction of the rites.
For blóts we have reconstructed the 9 parts that make it a sacred rite. These are derived from the Hávamál. First I will give the blót structure. Most of which stays the same regardless of what blót you perform. The part that changes is the biðja - the prayer.
Helga: Hallowing the grounds with the sacred need fire.
Biðja: A Prayer to the gods. Here you ask for help/protections from the chaos of the Jötuns.
Signa: perform the hammer sign over the offerings, the altar, and the people.
Blóta: Offering the sacrifices to the gods.
Senda: Sending the sacrifices by burning, hanging, drowning, or libation onto the ground.
Sóa: Cleansing which is a form of atonement, done by sprinkling blood/mead/water.
Spá: Divination by the casting of runes.
Sumbl: Toasting to the gods and kinsmen and oath making.
Loka: Ending the rite.
In later posts we will focus on each specific part to offer guidance on how it can be done.

Our Grand Prize for Sumarmál 2025:
A Handcrafted Lyre!
We are honored to announce a truly special addition to our raffle—an authentic, handcrafted lyre has been donated for the event!

Lyres like this typically sell for $500–$1000, and the talented craftsman behind this donation will also have one available for purchase during the vendor fair.
This is more than just an instrument—it’s a piece of our shared heritage. Don’t miss your chance to win it!

CHAPTER III.
NORSE MYTHOLOGY COMPARED WITH THE GREEK.
"Dr. Dasent says the Norse mythology may hold its own against any other in the world. The fact that it is the religion of our forefathers ought to be enough to commend it to our attention.. "

Investigations Into Germanic Mythology
28.03.202502:26
According to John McKinnell, when we look for genuine heathen voices, there are three or perhaps four principle sources:
a) Mythological eddic poems
b) Skaldic verse
c) Viking Age Picture stones
d) Contemporary Christian views of Norse heathenism
Dating the material is problematic. While some of the eddic poems and skaldic verses may have been composed after the conversion of Iceland, in particular those poems preserved only in late paper manuscripts and skaldic verses incorporated into later sagas, there is little debate that on the whole, the bulk of eddic and skaldic poetry contain authentic heathen material. If the physical texts of the eddic poems can only be dated to the thirteenth century, that is not to say that the poems themselves did not originate much earlier. Eddic poetry bears all the hallmarks of oral-traditional verse, including alliteration, repetition and formulaic construction, with direct analogs in both Old English and Old High German poetry. Evidence indicates that the eddic songs are the last vestiges of the ancient oral histories of the Germanic people which Tacitus, writing in the first century AD, says “form the only record of their past,”(Germania 2), and which the Gothic historian Jordanes, writing in the sixth century, confirms, stating that “in the earliest times, they sang of the deeds of their ancestors,” (Getica, ch. 5).”

We received two more statues to add to our scavenger hunt for the kids! These were hand carved by the very talented Wessex Woodcrafts. I would like to say thank you to him for taking the job on short notice, doing a great job (very detailed), and ensuring it arrived in time for Sumarmál 2025 in the Hills!
On the left is Baldr, son of Odin and Frigg.
To his right is his mother Frigg - the mother of the gods.
The kids are going to love leaving with statues of the gods.
Make sure you check him out and support his work here:
