HARVEST BLOT | A NORSE PAGAN RITUAL | AUTUMN CELEBRATION CEREMONY

Join Andre for this ceremony celebrating Autumn and the harvest, in the land and in our lives.

A blot is an Old Norse word for offering, and in this ritual we will create the space to give offerings and thanks to the Gods for some of the good things we accomplished this year, the fruits of our labour. We will start by explaining the ceremony with a talk on the ritual structure, some Norse cosmology, and the deities and myths that will be central for this blot, Thor and Sif.

In the ceremony itself, after establishing a magical space, Gods and Goddesses from different pantheons, not only Norse, can be called. All are welcome in our circle, as we celebrate the diversity of Divine forms, and the multiple ways we can rejoice with life’s blessings. This is a ritual that will have laid back and informal moments too, laughter is as important in a Pagan ritual as solemnity.

Drink and light food is included.
