During jólablót, it's said that no fighting or work was to be done, either because of veneration or simply due to the weather. Either way, we strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegt jólablót! #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky [2/2]

By the old reckoning, tonight's moon marks hökunótt/miðsvetrarnótt and the start of the 3-night jólablót. Historically, this period celebrated the halfway point of winter and anticipated a good harvest in the year to come. #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky [1/2]

By the old reckoning, tonight starts the two-moon period known as jól/Yule. The 3-day jólablót starts Feb 1st, during which no fighting or work is to be done. We strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegir jólamánuðir. #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky

This period was also called dísablót or haustblót. One folk tradition says that the first day's weather will portend that of the rest of the season. We strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegar veturnætur! #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky [2/2]

By the old reckoning, today's moon marks the start of the veturnætur (winter nights). Historically, this 3-day period celebrated the end of the harvest season, the start of winter, and the coming new year. #asatru #vanatru #fornsidr #heathensky #pagansky [1/2]

On Njörðr's origins:
In Vanaheim they shaped him, the wise powers,
and sold him as a hostage to the gods.
At the age of reckoning (Ragnarök)
he will return home with the wise Vanir.

They are two wolves, and he who fares after her [the sun] is called Sköll. He frightens her, and he will take her. But he who leaps before her is called Hati Hróðvitnisson, and he wants to take the moon, and so it will be.

But Hel said that it should be proven, whether Baldur was as beloved as is said. "If all things in the world, alive and dead, mourn him, then he shall go back to the Æsir. But held by Hel, if any speak against him or will not mourn."

Same here. Nowadays I lean more towards general Pagan Mysticism with a sprinkling of Vanatru.

Sigurblót also marked the end of winter, and it is in this way that most modern heathens choose to celebrate it... as life's victory over the cold months. We strive to keep these ways alive to honour our past and our gods. Gleðilegt sigurblót! #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru [2/2]

By the old reckoning, tonight starts sigurblót. Historically, this 3-day period was celebrated in preparation of the upcoming raiding/fighting season. A blót was done for continued peace, but called for victory if battle ensued. #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru [1/2]

My particular path is a Pagan mystic's version of Vanatru. Nice to meet you!

By the old reckoning, tonight's moon marked the Disting at Uppsala. Some hold a dísablót at this time instead of or in addition to the traditional one in Fall. In the states we're doubly lucky tonight with a blood moon. Gleðilegt dísablót if you celebrate! #heathen #pagan #fornsidr #asatru #vanatru

Hel he cast into Niflheim, and gave to her authority over the nine realms, to distribute all provisions with those sent to her. She has a great dwelling there, walls remarkably high, gates large. Her hall is called Éljúðnir.

I’m Vanatru, although I honor some of the Aesir. Freyr is one of the Lords and Ladies I relate to. He, Freyja, Njordr, Eir and Sunna are most frequent in my practice and interaction.

I am a Vanatru pagan, following the Vanir, although I acknowledge the Aesir.
