Don’t keep the Gods trapped in the past!

theskaldspeaks:

You know what I want to see more of? Images of our gods in the modern age. They’re not just our ancestors’ gods, they’re ours too.

I want to see Freyr blessing migrant farmer laborers. I want to see Freyja watching over sex workers. I want to see Odin camped out under an overpass, swapping stories. I want Tyr marching with protesters and Thor fighting tyrants. I want Frigga as a high powered lady executive or attorney, Eir as a nurse in an overcrowded and underfunded inner city hospital

Our gods our more than gleaming steel and mead halls. Humanity has grown and changed, and of course the gods have come along with us!

Prayer to Eir

norsegodcalls:

Hail Eir!
With loving ears, please
hear this prayer.

To scorch out flu
and reknit bone.
With healing flow,
please fill my home.

Mind, lend strength
and self-hate, quell.
In soul, mind, and body;
Please, Eir, make me well.

Hail!
