High ritual and true reciprocity!
Understanding the relationship between our Gods and ourselves, and believing in that connection, has yielded powerful and deep, real world visceral interactions! It's the power we have always had and been told we don't.
The compass I've used in all things Raven Folk has been to always lean on the side of tradition. In this, we have in a very real way, taken our religion back from the realm of the past and through our lore and blood memory given a new hope for the future.
I say it all the time, "our rituals are different." Come see for yourself! OUR GODS ARE REAL!! So I call out to my folk! Hear the call kinsman and pick up the Raven banner! Join us in honoring the cosmic Gods of our blood!
All credit for our success goes to the High One! As we hold your name and banner high!

Greetings Raven Folk,
This weekend I will be sharing the Old Norse Bidja (prayer, bid) that we will be using for the Full Moon blot we will be doing together Sunday night this weekend. Attached will be an audio for you to practice the pronunciation.
"Hjalpaðu Óðinn, (Help me Odin)
ek kalla þik nú. (I call on you now)
Galdra þú mér gal, (galdr me galdrs)
þau er góðir eru. (that are good.)
Bjarg þú, faðir, barni. (As a father would for his child/children)
Á Hann skal til þess heita!" (For this he shall be called/named!)
"Heill Óðinn!" 3x
Note on pronunciation.
The d's that have a line through the stem have a 'th' sound as in the word 'the.' When the consonants 'rn' or 'rl' are together they are pronounced with a 't' inserted in the middle; i.e. rtn and rtl. Thus, barni is pronounced bart-ni. A similar thing happens with 'll' where a 't' sound follows the 'l'. This happens if the two L's end the word. For instance, kalla above sounds just like it looks but heill is pronounced like heilt, having a t ending sound. This may sound confusing at first. Just listen to the recording and look at the Old Norse words above. Getting the pronunciation correct is more important than understanding why the sounds are the way they are.
In the audio attachment I have recorded the Bidja one line at a time. The lines are spaced out to where you have enough time to speak it before the next line starts. This ought to help everyone practice and be prepared. Also this Bidja can be used for any male deity, hero or ancestor. All you change is the name at the beginning and the end. I hope this helps. Until next time...
Hail the Gods!
Hail the Ancestors!
Hail Raven Folk United!

DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR JARL HAAKON
Contrary to modern Hollywood distortions, Jarl Haakon was a proud Norwegian, almost certainly one of those blue eyed devils everybody loves to hate nowadays... and, of course he was a man. So much for learning history from a television show, eh?
Haakon spent the better part of his life at war in one way or another. He was chieftain or Jarl, for much of Norway from 975-995. Haakon claimed descent from mighty Odin Himself and was said(by Adam of Bremen) to be descended from Jotuns. Whatever the case, Haakon was a warrior in the truest sense of the word.
A warrior dedicated to the ancestral folkways of his people. Later in life he found himself allied with the xtian emperor, Otto II against others. When the "war" was over Otto pressured his ally to take a gaggle of skirt wearing priests back to Haakon's realm to bring xtianity to the pagans...... Haakon did what any good heathen would have done. Load them up on a boat, sail out into the bay where you are safe from attack and then put those monotheistic preachers of doom over the edge.( I wonder how easy it is to swim in priest's robes?)
Upon his return home Hakon did all he could to see the heathenry of his ancestors strengthened. Throughout his reign he kept the old ways alive and well and gave at least one more generation of our folk the comfort to live their folkways and honour their native Gods as their forefathers had done. Haakon is truly a man deserving of our respect. Raise a horn today in his honour and thumb your nose at the one-god crowd.
Hail Jarl Haakon!

AT FARA
Prospective and purpose intertwined in the mist,
For a seeker of knowledge and the Valkyries kiss.
Long sought after wisdom,
though my price paid cut deep,
I find true peace and joy now,
On top of Himinbjörg peak.
As the Bifrost gate beckons,
Seems the Veil keys inside,
Now I travel worlds vastly,
Both outward and mind.
My vibration pushed onward,
As my Fylgia rides song,
This world's vessels my hammer,
With each day it grows strong.
Now I hear voices and see things,
As if men who are mad,
Though my Hugrs more clear now,
And my Minni stays Glad.
I'll face all with a deep cheer,
And a grin on my face,
There is no need to race me,
Just try and keep pace.
We are mortal and Man born,
All connected as one,
Yet separate united,
as the soul's concept began.
We embrace our true selves now,
And call out to our Gods,
We need all just to listen,
You can hear as they come.

He brought the Jotun, Ymir, down.
From blood, the waters,
His bones, the ground.
Men of Midgard, Arise, Arise.
All Father Amongst us in disguise.
(Chorus) So raise the banners,
and hail his name!
Odin, Woden, Wotan.
For wisdom, the runes,
He gave his eye.
For 9 days hanging,
a sacrifice.
Hugin and Munin,
Away, away!
Thought and Memory to guide his way.
Chorus
Lif and Lifthrasir will rise,
When Surtr burns the lands and skies.
Ragnarok is not the end.
Our Gods reborn will rise again.
Chorus x3
Raise the banners and Hail his name!
HAIL ODIN!
hail our woman folk as they sing us towards victory!
