We’ve come to hail the God Thor! God of the Storms and rain. God of strength, protector of both Humankind and the Gods! And to hail the Goddess Sif! Goddess of the Golden Hair, who blesses the farmer’s field with a bountiful harvest. Goddess of the gentle hand and the patient mind. We hail You both Thor, we ask this Summer Solstice for Your blessings of strength and will to survive and prosper through the season. We ask that You bring the summer rains to these sun-drenched lands. We ask for protection from the harshest of seasons we live in. Sif, we ask this Summer Solstice for Your blessings of patience and the fortitude to navigate the hardships we may face during the season. Bless all that we plant and intend to grow, may it be crops, passions or ambitions. Hail Thor and Sif! Great and powerful, kind and compassionate we hail You both this Midsummer!

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!
