Old Norse rites in every day life
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We are all busy in our lives and often do not have time to organise rituals. However some simple rituals can be performed in our own living spaces quickly.
Many of us do not live in areas with Heathen or Asatru or pagan communities, and so we do not have events in our area we can attend. For us without groups in our area we can still perform rites.
Blot is the primary ritual of the Old Norse, a ritual that they performed in special festival days like Yule. Other Old Norse blot rituals were performed by people in their house holds. Here in this vid we explore performing solitary Heathen Blot in our own living space.

Your altar may be small and simple, but it has taught us much. You've solved many problems we face with this useful information. Many of us are plagued by the past and we must remember spring is a time for renewal. May the Aesir and Vanir bless you with all their gifts. Hail, brother!
I love it. I love your altar and intent.
Thanks so much for sharing very nice and impressive!!!
this has given me some really good insight and insperation
I’m a coastal native, your practices are similar to how we pray. Our ceremony, dance & powwows are very different, but individual prayer seems similar
I LOVE the fact that you do this as an individual. Thank you for the video my friend.
being in the southern USA im with you no community here but i will revere and offer to the gods no mattter the location
That was so well done. Thank you for sharing your rite with us.
Great sharing my friend much love and like 16
Interesting blót, enjoyed that, fellow Anglo-Bro
Thank you. This reminded me of the early 1990s, no internet of course, and I was a student in a small apartment. I realize this video is two years old, but in case you see this comment, can you give details about your Hammer pendant? I really like it. Edit: I have subscribed, so now I see that you have done other videos on the subject of Thor's Hammer. I collect the pendants, I am always interested in the various styles, ancient and modern. Perhaps there is more information on the one you are wearing in another video.
Where did you get your altar bowl? I’ve been looking for one like it, it’s beautiful
Thank you, very helpful.
great video.
Thanks for sharing.
Great work and thumbs up like 16
Nice video my dear and keep it up like 15 and full watch
Interesting library I can see where your motivation comes from. Any talk on this literature would be well received.

sorry for the late reply. Doing more lore content again atm.
Please do not feel the need to apologize for the chosen representation of your deities. I know this video was posted sometime ago, and you may have changed things up, however, your chosen representation of them is between you and them. Thank you for allowing the viewer a peek into your practice.
I noticed you have a copy of Beren and Luthien, which is cool. I see you are a fan of Middle-Earth.

Bit of a late reply here. Yeah I'm a big fan of Middle-earth, I may even start a Middle-earth channel one day.

Very cool. Very enlightening. I've never prayed to multiple gods at once. Thanks for sharing. By contrast, I prefer my prayers alone.
Where to drop the drink you use after the ritual?You don't have the drink forever in the altar.

Out the window into the garden and to the earth
Why give the gods an offering or food or drink if they can't actually partake in it? I don't understand this part of pagan ritual.

It’s all about the intention.

It’s similar to offerings in Hinduism. Food and drink are offered to the deity, to symbolically partake of the food, which becomes prasadam for everyone to eat after. You’re essentially eating God’s leftovers, which have become holy because the deity joined in the feast.
VIKINGS... are brutally terrifying
