This particular hringr blót is to connect with whichever god or goddess, whether they are reaching out to you, or because you wish to connect with whichever you choose.
Note: each god or goddess prefer certain offerings. You can look them up on Google or YouTube, if you need any guidance on what to offer to which god or goddess you wish to connect with.
Also, note that this should be done at night during a full moon to recieve better results.

The Ritual contains 4 parts

⁃ Drawing the circle
⁃ Intention/purpose
⁃ Sacrifice/offering
⁃ Removing the circle

Preparation:
⁃ Make sure everything you need is IN the circle space, you should not cross the circle when it is drawn.
⁃ Make sure you are not disrupted.


1. Drawing of the circle

The circle needs to be aligned to the 4 cardinal points (N, E, S, W)
Use the 4 dwarves to represent these points and mark them with candles, sticks, stones, runes, ……
Nordri
Austri
Sudri
Vestri

Speak out that you are going to draw the circle.
Start in the N by addressing Nordri
“Nordri, guardian of the North, please fill this circle with the energy of earth, for a stable and grounded ritual- THANK YOU”

Move to the east, following the virtual outline of the circle (draw it mentally)
“Austri, guardian of the east, please fill this circle with the energy of air, for a good connection in this circle, a strong connection with gods, goddesses, helpers (helper spirits: vetter, hamingja, …..) and guardians (eg fylgjia, …) - THANK YOU”

Keep on drawing the circle and move to the south
“Sudri, guardian of the south, please fill the circle with the energy of fire, the element of transformation, fire of the heart, warm passion, …. - THANK YOU”

“Vestry, guardian of the west, please fill this circle with the energy of water, the element that nourishes all living beings and their emotions, tears of joy and tears of sadness - THANK YOU”

Keep on drawing until you have a full circle by ending in the north.

The circle is now closed

2. Intention/purpose

Call upon the gods and goddesses, spirits, … by standing in the Algiz pose, hands raised, palms facing the heavens
“Gods, goddesses, helpers and guardians, please join me in this sacred circle, please listen to my words………………”
You can raise your hands now (or not), sit, stand, … whatever
Speak your intention or ask your question
Some examples I have done:
⁃ Just a ‘thank you’
⁃ Ask a question
⁃ Ask them to expose themselves if they want
⁃ Send energy to someone else (if they approved it upfront!)
⁃ ….

3. Offering

State your offering and put it in the center of the circle. Offer your thanks for the ritual and their presence.


Now you can stay as long as you want in the circle. This is sometimes for me a good moment to do some meditation.

4. Removing of the circle

Start in North and follow the same path as in step 1 but say (and mean it!) something like:

“Nordri, guardian of the north, thank you for the energy of earth, please remove any remaining energy from the circle and give it to all other beings so that they may also find stability in their lives”

“Austri, guardian of the east, thank you for the energy of air, please remove any remaining energy from the circle and give it to all other beings so that they may also find connectivity in their lives”

“Sudri, guardian of the south, thank you for the energy of fire, please remove any remaining energy from the circle and give it to all other beings so that they may also find a warm heart and passion in their lives”

“Vestri, guardian of the west, thank you for the energy of water, please remove any remaining energy from the circle and give it to all other beings so that they may also find positive emotions and nourishment in their lives”

End in North

Clean up the space - The End

Remarks:
⁃ Use your own wording
⁃ Stay focused or in some kind of meditative state during the ritual
⁃ Mean what you say, the words are less important than the intention
⁃ Never do a ritual in which you call upon another person without their consent (or, as an extreme example, try to change their minds. A ‘love spell’ would fall into this category). I consider this as black magic, it works, but they will ask for a price or just take something from you. Typically something or someone that you love the most.

You will need an element for each points to be present. My points on my circle will be made based on those 4 elements. Like a glass bowl or clear bottle of water for west, incense for air in East (the smoke represents the air), a candle for fire, and a stone for North (Earth)

The very first magical songs while growing up are from beautiful melodies of birds...
The very first magical rays while growing up are from the great star... Showering, sparkling onto my being...
The very first magical scent of pure love while growing up are from the flowers leaking their fragrance unto my soul..
The very first magical invite, greetings...while growing up are from the trees waving their branches in the winds.
The very first magical embrace while growing up are from winds taking hold, navigating my paths directions..
I am... In the garden..

Last night I received a last minute request to jump in as guest facilitator for an online breathwork session this Sunday, April 20 at 12:00PM EST. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the afternoon so I accepted and as I bring more of a shamanic energy to the space, I am extending the invitation to my FolkRealms family.

I realize based upon the time zone many of you can't make it, but if you are interested in experiencing my medicine and magic here's a great opportunity to do so. It's free to join, but you will need to register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYkf-ippj0pGdDBd3djeQxQBR4_ef6qvH5D#/registration

I am more than willing to answer any questions or address any concerns you might have. It is my utmost honor to perform this work and would be remiss if I didn't make the offer to this community. I hope to see you there, thank you

Premature and lost children: The magical significance. What does a child lose if born before nine months?

The child loses a specific period of time, which it will have to make up for in its lifetime, battling to compensate for its underdeveloped state.

Typically, children born at six or seven months are destined for significant achievements in this world—they have a unique purpose. The system detects them quickly. These children are often unpredictable and difficult to forecast, which creates a need to either eliminate them before birth or allow them to be born with an undeveloped consciousness, which the system then shapes according to its needs. Naturally, this is what the system does.

Up until a certain point, these children are deeply systemic—extremely so. If they possess the strength to break free from this system, they later regain what was initially lacking. But if they don't have the strength, their lives usually take a downward turn. Therefore, children born prematurely—whether at seven or six months—tend to be either extraordinarily gifted or completely devoid of talent. There is no middle ground.

A magic place. the old man of storr.

I enjoyed my Sigrblot celebration this year. I worked the sun wheel into a sigil for some prosperity magic, I made an offering of food and mead to my ancestors and the gods, I read from the sagas and meditated. A community celebration with a big bonfire would have been nice of course, but I still liked doing it all myself.
How did all of you celebrate?

Goodmorning, today I woke up with the magical "Witte Wieven".

This is an old saga here in the north eastern Netherlands. I found a link with an english explanation I was brought up with the believe of the "Witte Wieven" but ,of course, by then they were already transformed by the christians in to something bad. When I got older I searched for myself and found the (I believe)true story of the "Witte Wieven" I think this page explains it very well.

Those who walk the path of magic should keep in mind an important truth: It is not meant to be easy. You must continuously push the inner circle away from you, always with great effort. If you ever find it becoming too easy, stop immediately. This is a trap. It cannot be easy for you, and you will not experience any true relief on this path until you reach your goal. Even then, there's no certainty that relief will come. Keep this in mind always.

Pre-dawn magic. Wolf and the raven

Runes are conduits of ancient power, carrying the wisdom of gods and worlds. They are more than symbols—they are a gateway to the unknown.
