Although we only perform the 5 blóts mentioned in the sources we have access to, we have designed special seasonal rites that our blót kindreds can do if they wish.

One of these rites is a winter solstice rite.
The reason why we have done this is because the winter solstice was not a holiday when they held a blót, there is no evidence at all that they paid attention to the winter solstice in any way except for calendar purposes.
But there are many of our members who want to pay attention to the winter solstice, so the blót kindreds has the opportunity to hold a winter solstice rite.

This year, two of our blót kindreds have held this rite.
Reports from these rites can be read on our website.
