About the upcoming Disablót. The Disablót is one of the most famous blót´s, and like the Midvinter blót/yule one of the most misunderstood blót´s. The Disablót did not take place at the beginning of February, but at the third month called Göja/Göje (today between around the end of February and mid-March). It was when the Swedes were Christianized that the Disting/Disablót was moved to the Christian holiday of the Candle Mass, which is at the beginning of February (today on February 2) and even today Disting market is organized. Disting/Disablót is mentioned by Adam of Bremen, according to him, this simply takes place in Old Uppsala in the month of Göje after the vernal equinox and all inhabitants of Svitjod (Sweden) had to participate, if they did not want to participate they had to pay a fine. The disablót is deeply rooted in the veneration of the Disir´s – a group of powerful female forces closely associated with destiny, fertility, protection, and the general well-being of the family and community. The Disir´s are central figures in the Asatru, they are linked to the Nornirs who determine our destinies but also to the fylgior´s, thus the Disir´s are revered in part as ancestral guardians who exert a profound influence over our lives. They watch over their kin, guarantee prosperity, offer protection and guidance through both everyday and spiritual challenges. But the disir´s are also associated with the Valkyries and the Vanadis Freya. The Disablót falls on the first full moon before the Victory Blót and lasts for one day/night. If you want to use the disting-rule, the Disablót is the third full moon after the first new moon after the winter solstice. The disting occurs every nine years with the same calculation. Every nine years the Disting was held. The event lasted for 9 nights, a market was organised, horse races, parties and, of course, the usual blót, etc. The market survived Christianisation and is still organised today, but around a Christian holiday. In the Icelandic sources it is mentioned that the Disablót was performed in connection with the holiday of Winter Nights, this is probably the Icelanders’ and Norwegians’ time for the Disablót while the Swedes held it in the spring.

Söndagen den 12:e januari 2025 höll medlemmar i blotlag Idavallen midvinterblot på eget håll. Om detta har jag inte mycket att tillägga då jag själv tillsammans med RBA Thommy Vähäsalo i år deltog på blotlag Gungnir och Draupnirs gemensamma Midvinterblot. Således kommer min text att handla om just detta och lite om vikten av att besöka andra blotlag inom vårt samfund.

On Sunday, January 12, 2025, members of Blót Kindred Idavallen held their midwinter blót separately. I do not have much to add regarding this, as I myself, together with NBR Thommy Vähäsalo, participated in Blót Kindreds Gungnir and Draupnir’s joint Midwinter Blót this year. Therefore, my text will focus on this event and the importance of visiting other blót kindreds within our community.
