Nov 15 - Einherjar Blot
« on: October 04, 2009, 06:12:12 PM »
I would like to hold an Einherjar Blot to honor Odin, Freya, and all those veterans that have passed this year. 

Nov 15 at 6 PM please.   Nothing is schedule for that Saturday evening on the calendar.

It will be a dry rite so that all who would like to attend are able.    A horn filled with Sparkling cider will be a fine offering  :)

This event will not be a full ADF ritual.  The outline:

Process into sacred Space
Honor Earth
Honor Kindred
Chant Odin, Vili,Ve
honor those warriors amongst us
Call Odin
Call Freya
2 rounds for Blot: 1) Odin or Freya 2) Fallen friends or family
Chant "pour the waters, raise the cup ..." while names of 2009 military fallen are read

Libate the ground and end ritual

I need four volunteers for honoring the earth and the kindred

Crystal, I  checked out witchvox to see how many people have looked at the announcement. 

Good News: over 500 have checked it out
Bad News: it has Nov 15 which is sunday. 

Please as soon as time permits in your busy schedule, make a  note on the announcement that the ritual is saturday night Nov 14 and to please check the CLG website.  It would be bad to have a bunch of folks show up on sunday night looking for a ritual.  ???

the CLG website has the correct information.  thanks so much.

Thanks for the update Crystal! :)

Since it is supposed to be raining today and all day tomorrow, I am thinking that the Saturday Ritual will be inside. So folks are not sloshing around in the mud potentially slipping and making a mess of the sanctuary.

I have odds and ends to do on Saturday but I am going
to try to make it. How late can I make it to the Grove and
still be a productive participant?

Well, the ritual will start at 7PM.  It should at the most be 1hr 20-30 but I am thinking closer to the hour mark.
