Beltane Prayer to Baldr and Nanna

Baldr! God of Light, God of Love. I invoke You this day! 
Nanna! Goddess of Love, Goddess of Loyalty. I invoke You this day! 

Baldr, Shining God, Benevolent God. God whose love knows no bounds, whose love is never ending. Whose love is warm, whose love is a comfort when the world’s darkness threatens tear us asunder.  

Nanna, Beautiful Goddess, Wise Goddess. Goddess whose loyalty is admirable. You who followed Your beloved husband into the Underworld and stayed at His side in the cold. 

Baldr, Shining God, Benevolent God. God whose light shines greater and brighter than any star in the sky, whose light pierces the darkness of hate and anger, leads us to be kind to ourselves and our fellow human. 

Nanna, Beautiful Goddess, Wise Goddess. Goddess whose love is unconditional and comforting like a mother’s. Your love is like an embrace from a mother, a sister, someone who can take away the hurt that this world inflicts upon us. 

Baldr, Nanna please accept this offering and in return let us know the light of Your love and kindness in the coming season. Help us to spread the love and light and joy You both bring to the humans on Midgard. Hail the Shining Baldr and Hail the Loyal Nanna! 

Light – A Baldr Poem

When you are at your lowest.
When it seems that it is your darkest night, look for Me.

I will be your light in the darkness.
I will be your shining thread.

Grasp it, follow it and I will be waiting at the end.
With My arms open wide, to welcome you home.

I will be the light, when darkness threatens to consume you.
I will be the love that comforts, when sorrow washes over you.
I will be the thread that holds you tight when you fall.
I will be the warmth when the world leaves you cold,

So, look for me when your hope is gone.
Search for that thread that leads you to me.
I will welcome you home with arms open wide
