Ceremonies Of Our Folk
Gerðs Hearth has a lot of our focus on Agriculture. We till the soil, plant the seed tend the earth and harvest.As the year moves along it's path so do we. As Pagans and Heathens of all paths, we mark our time with ceremony, Blot, Gather and Tradition. In this spot you, our friends will find Ceremonies from all paths, that tie into the time of the year we are. Welcome and be at home.
Heimdal, bright holder of the Horn,
Hear our worthy words!
Holy hammer of Thor, defender of Midgard,
Sacred Mjollnir, mighty weapon,
Hallow and hold this holy stead!
Guard this stead for holy works!
Ancient ones, Alfar and Disir, those who come before!
Hail the Ancestors!
Spirits of this land, those who go seen and unseen!
Today we welcome a god of the world to this space!
Join us, and share your space with him in frith as you do with us.
Hail the landvaettir!
Nerthus, Nerthus, Nerthus, Earth Mother!
May the High Gods Frey and Njord
Grant you fields to increase and flourish,
Fields fruitful and healthy,
Shining harvests and shafts of millet,
Broad harvests of barley…
Hail to thee, Earth Mother of men!
Bring forth Nature’s golden beauty,
Filled with life preserving goodness,
The life blood of your people.
Goddess Sif, wife of Thor,
Your golden tresses – like flaxen wheat,
Emblem of earth and rich vegetation,
The promise of a prosperous season,
We call to you in Bilskirnir.
As you nurture us, so shall we nurture our children.
Grant us a promise of nourishing rain,
That fields may fruitful be,
And vines in blossom we may see,
That the grain be full and sound
And health throughout our people abound.
This time of the year between the cold of winter and the warmth of the spring we gather to bless the seeds, tools and land of our kindred. To remind our kindred that we are family. That we may wax and wane but always as one. We need to celebrate and embrace and support our family no matter what. We support the tribe with love, kindness, understanding and the hand held out. The same way we support the garden. By love and nurturing.
Eostre is fast approaching Jords slumber is ending Skadhi’s blanket is pulled back. It is time to venture from the safety of the home to the great outside. To bless the iron that will till the soil. Hail to the earth!
