A Winter Solstice Prayer

Winter Solstice. A time to give thanks to nature and the return of the Sun.

This fire celebrates the rebirth of the World and all the blessings of this past year.

I thank Oak, for the storms that it held

I thank Water, for the ancestral words it whispered

I thank Bracken, for the love that it sheltered

I thank Hazel, for the home that it wove

I thank Redcurrant, for the inevitable joy of being

I thank Mōna, for holding my gaze

I thank Sol, for the sanguine pale dawn

I thank Earth, for the renewal that it nourishes

I thank that Tree of which no one knows from where its roots run

For the depth of its love

For the sacred fury it bears

May its leaves smile on us always

As I smile with your Names on my tongue

Carve that wildness into me

With thanks to:
Herknungr, Musician, playing “Spekð".

Wes þu hāl, brother. I thank you for bringing back these ancestral practices to a country that has lost them, and is in much need of them. Hail Sunna, may she bring back the brightest and warmest days in the coming year.

[dracodistortion]

May Woden bring wisdom and guide you. May Thunor bring clarity and protect you. May Yngwi bring increase and fertility. May *Neorth bring wealth and fortune. May Eostre bring light and purity.

I shall Feast with my Mother,
I shall Fly with my Father,
I shall stand by the Fire with my Brother,
I shall sit by the Ocean with my Sister,
For we are family we are One.
(This our Mother GAIA'S Prayer)
HAVE A BLESSED WINTER SOLSTICE .

I thank you, for teaching us about the Anglo-Saxons while making beautiful and calm videos. These bring me peace at the end of the day.

I thank Jeshua

For being not a creature, as all, but the Creator, who is the Life and the breathing Love.

I thank you, God, for this young man. And I pray to You in the name of your beloved Son Jesus Christ to let him once see your glory, wisdom, pain and love.

Be blessed, my friend.

Beautiful words our ancestors would of been more in tune with nature and the seasons, will you be doing anything similar next year for summer solstice?
