Prayer for the Mother

This prayer I recite is for the mothers, for those who are mothers, for those who wish to be mothers, for mothers who have gone on to the hereafter, and for the mother I call my own. 

I pray to the Queen Frigga, All-Mother that You watch over all those that call themselves mothers and those who take up that position. Help guide them and protect them. For a mother’s work and love is most precious. 

I pray to Angrboda, Great Witch of the Ironwoods. That You guide and protect mothers who care and love their children that are considered “outcasts” Children who are considered “monsters” because they look different. Children who would be thrown to the vipers because they are ill. For those mothers bear the most responsibility and sorrow. 

I pray to Freja, beautiful Fertile Goddess. That You give hope and love to the ones who are eager to bring forth life. For they are the most easily frightened. Grant their wish to bring their children safely into this world and many others the gift of motherhood they so very much desire. 

I pray to Sigyn, most steadfast and tragic mother. That You console those who have lost their children. Bring the mourning mother comfort and peace for her sorrow and grief is unmatched. No matter what age, a mother’s loss of a child is devastating. Give them the light and comfort that so desperately need. 

I pray to Rindr, one who became a mother under vile circumstances. I pray to You that You help and heal those that were given motherhood forcibly. Help them to become strong and to carry on, even when the world is against them. Console and comfort them as they mourn themselves and search for peace. 

I pray to Eir, Healing Goddess of Asgard. Give comfort to the ones who will never be mothers or cannot be mothers no longer. Encourage them to fight and stay strong. Help them with their health and illness, for it has rendered them unable to have children or care for any child. Help make people see them as a person rather than someone who should give birth. 

I pray to Hel, Goddess of the Underworld. I pray that the many mothers that have passed through Your Hall are helping and guiding their children in parenthood. That they bless them with good fortune and love and chase away the mothers that committed evil acts of evil against their own kin. 

I Hail and praise these Goddesses in hopes They protect the people who we call mother. No matter whom they might be, no matter if they were mothers, are mothers, or will never be mothers.

Protection from Toxic Ancestors

So a little context on why I wrote this. Recently my family and I have found out a relative that had passed on, my grandmother has been causing some very bad luck. I had help from both Loki and Hel discerning that it was indeed my grandmother causing my mother and I trouble. She was a bitter old woman in life and still is in death. So on the advice of Hel I created this little prayer/spell warding off any troublesome family spirits. I have already used this and burned sage and so far things have been resolving. So I thought to share this with anyone else who might have trouble with some problematic family spirits.

No negative or evil ancestors are allowed here. 
None that have done damage, nor that try. 
No evil ancestors will stain my name or my good ancestors' names, 
For those ancestors are not wanted or welcome here, 
By Thor’s Holy Hammer those evil spirits will be driven from my home. 
This home is protected from any ancestors who have done me harm and who try. 
Guarded by the good Ancestral spirits. 
Protected by Thor’s Mighty Hammer, 
Odin’s Spear, 
Freyr’s Sword, 
And Loki’s Cunning. 
All negative ancestral spirits are banished from this home. 
You no longer harm me or my family

Prayer to Ymir

Hail Ymir! 
First Giant, the Great Progenitor. 
I hail You Ymir. 
If not for Your sacrifice. 
I would not be here. 
I would not be embracing this beautiful world. 
From all the trees, rivers, and lakes. 
To all the mountains, soils, and skies. 
Ymir I am grateful to You. 
Through Your death by the brothers three. 
I am privileged to walk this place. 
I shall remember Your sacrifice and honor this world always 
Thank You. 
Hail Ymir, Ancestor of Giants.

I honor the women the women who came before me. 
I honor the good Disir and ask for guidance. 
I ask for wisdom and strength, for all of life’s dealings. 
I say this prayer to honor the good Disir.
