At this year’s Sumarmál, we witnessed something that many would call a sign from the gods.
As anyone in South Dakota knows, spring weather can be unpredictable—sunshine one moment, rain or snow the next. Friday began cold and wet, but we were undeterred. We gathered under a pavilion, lit a fire outside, and held a sumbl. As we introduced ourselves and spoke of our family lines, we saw bonds forming. Hails were given to our ancestors and to one another. That evening closed with a sense of anticipation for what the next day would bring.
Saturday morning remained cold and overcast. The sun refused to break through, and with all our games and the blót planned outdoors, concern began to set in.
Around noon, one of our men rallied others to begin grappling matches, keeping spirits high. Meanwhile, our team of chefs worked diligently to prepare the sacred stew. Then we decided to add the 9 sacred herbs and offering a prayer to the gods.
As we blessed the stew and read aloud from our lore, something changed. The sun emerged. The wind calmed. Warmth returned. What followed was nothing short of perfect weather—just in time for our games and the ritual to begin.
As evening approached, we lit our sacred fire, and our sunwheel, leading the procession to our vé. The fires glowed, the wind remained still, and the moon and stars shined.
At the vé, we performed the Smyrja—anointing the statue of Odin with ghee and the nine sacred herbs. We then held Sigrblót, calling on Odin for victory and blessings for our folk. As we made our offerings, we watched the fire for signs and omens.
Once the ritual concluded and the vé was respectfully broken down, the wind picked up again—as if holding off just long enough for us to complete our work.
That night we returned to the pavilion for more sumbl, handed out trophies to our contest winners, and ended Sumarmál under the stars, grappling and raising our voices in hails to the gods, ancestors, and folk.
It was a beautiful sight to witness—and an even greater blessing to be a part of. Thank you all for the opportunity to be among the folk and our gods. They look upon us with pride as we reforge our ancestral traditions together.

Coffee for the morning:
Most of the cabins (excluding 5, the 2 log cabins and 3 rustic cabins) will have SOME coffee pouches in the kitchen. However if you love coffee you likely will want to bring your own, or be prepared to go to the gas station down the road.

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:

Sumarmál 2025 in the Black Hills is officially over!
I want to thank everyone who came, all those who helped by joining in the kitchen, cleaning, or offering assistance in the multitude of various ways that happen when hosting an event.
A special thank you again to:
The Descendants of Rig - couldn't of done it without you.
The Norroena Society - for giving us the education needed to rebuild our Tradition.
The Irminfolk - for showing us a blueprint on how to host and giving us great donations.
The Wotan's Wolves - for taking the trip and joining in the festivities.
And to all of the great folks that came, donated, or supported our endeavor, a big hail to you all. A community that supports its folk is the only way forward for heathenry. Come to rituals, give offerings to the gods, be a positive example of what it means to be a heathen.

As promised I am hand breading chicken parmesan for Friday's meal. I marinate the chicken for about 5 days with garlic, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, and olive oil. Then I'll bread it Thursday night so it's ready Friday.
I will be making a sauce from scratch as well and will make spaghetti and garlic bread to go with it.

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!
This stunning stringed instrument was built in Alaska using spruce, pine, and black walnut woods. Each piece is custom made and reflects the deep cultural significance of the lyre in early Germanic tradition—an instrument once used by skalds for storytelling, ritual, and honoring the gods.
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!
