We are honoring Njord, the wealthiest and most generous of the Gods. The father of Freya and Freyr, the king of the Vanir.

We will make a burnt offering upon which the desire of our heart for the upcoming year, and our thanks and acknowledgment will be attached.

Give this some thought. Read about Njord prior to the Blot. Consider what message you would like to send Njord upon the burnt offering. It would be best if you have it prepared prior to coming, it can be a simple message written on paper or something you made, or whatever.

SCHEDULE:

10:00 – Arrival. It would be nice if people actually started arriving at this time,rather than right before the ritual starts. It allows some time for socializing,catching up, and settling in before the ritual begins at 11:00.

11:00 – Opening rite. Welcoming and warding of the space.

11:15 - Land wight offering. It is critical to acknowledge our unseen but often felt neighbors that we share the land with.

11:30 - Offering to the Norns. We honor the three sister fates and seek their wisdom and counsel, in our relationship to the runes.

12:00 - Blot to NJORD. Have your messages or contribution to the offering ready to go. (Sandwiches and snacks should be available between Blot and the next activity).

1:30 - Socialize and build our bonds of kinship, play Kubb, archery, visit the animals, and throwing the hatchet, etc., etc. Feast preparation. This includes setting of the tables as well as food prep.For those who don’t require this much prep time it is a time when you can help those who do, or simply socialize prior to feast. Also, a potential discussion on our heathen lives and lifestyles. Bring your questions and idea's. The HHBD meetingwill take place during this time as well.

4:30 – Holy Feast. We share a meal with each other, and the deity of the day.

5:30 – Cleanup. A group activity.

6:00 ish – Sumble. A holy rite that everyone is strongly encouraged to participate in.

Closing rite – Immediately following Sumble.
