The seer is speaking with his gods
He will see what the future will become
In his vision all in the way will fall
Before the mighty warriors
The ritual of blood is a gift
To the spirits of the sea
They will help us reach
The place of our glory
Through the sea
Through fire
Through honorable death in fighting
We will come to the sacred land
Nothing stops us
Nothing breaks us
Our father awaits us
In the golden halls of Valhalla
Our women are shield maidens
With the power of Freya
They are fighting like the bravest
Side by side with our men
We can cross the ocean
Our ships are strong
Thor has blessed us with the thunder
Of the distant storm
Our enemies are close
They are praying to their god
I can see
The fear in their eyes
He can’t help them in this battle
Because Odin,
Our father,
Stays on our side
Through the sea
Through fire
Through honorable death in fighting
We will come to the sacred land
Nothing stops us
Nothing breaks us
Our father awaits us
In the golden halls of Valhalla
I smell blood around
Valkyries are flying in the sky
The axes are pulling my hands to the ground
But I will continue to fight!
My fate belongs to the gods
Before the day I die
I must deserve the right
To join my fellow brothers
Through the sea
Through fire
Through honorable death in fighting
We will come to the sacred land
Nothing stops us
Nothing breaks us
Our father awaits us
In the golden halls of Valhalla!

Hail Frigga, Hail the volva, Wife of Odin, Mother of Baldur, Today is your day, The word for “Friday” in Germanic languages (including English) is named after Frija, the Proto-Germanic goddess who is the foremother of Freya and Frigg.
None of the other Germanic peoples seem to have spoken of Frija as if she were two goddesses; this approach is unique to the Norse sources.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that in the Norse sources we find a confusion as to which goddess this day should have as its namesake.
Both Freyjudagr (from Freyja) and Frjádagr (from Frigg) are used.
Frigga we honor and offer to you today, aid us, be with us today, Provide us with the intuition and clearity of mind to sucessfully create a fulfillng life and weave our own destiny.

Freyja and Freyr on an evening ride. If you ask me, Freyja's chariot looks a bit more comfortable than Gullinbursti.

For the ancient Scandinavians, death was part of life. Norse society was based on a system of belief concerning the dead, and the gods who ruled the realms between which man passed in life and death.
The first volume of the Viking Legends and Norse Mythology series covers the traditions concerning the living undead, tracing the beliefs of the Scandinavian, Northern Germanic and Anglo-Saxon Norse, set amidst the backdrop of Viking and pre-Viking folk superstition. This book arises from much of the source material gathered over the years, part of my quest to write ‘The Lord Of The Rings in the real world’, to envisage and realize a hard-boiled world as anything from fantasy.
In this volume 1, I explore different aspects of life, death and the Norse afterlife, exploring beliefs, superstitions, relating the deeds of heroes and gods, related to the body of body that each day, is added to the net. I hope there is something here for everyone, and where it has been possible, I have provided notes and links to original sources so this publication becomes itself an evolving database of stories, sources of inspiration as well as online sources for going deeper. I kickoff with Helheim, the realm of the dead for all those who were no warriors.
Much use has been made of original sources, many quotes presented to inform the understanding of the many different subjects presented in this publication, and more importantly, used as a resource, being linked to so readers are able to access the continuous ‘collective works in progress.’ I weave together my understandings with those of others, providing links in the text to wikipedia articles.

QUESTIONS ABOUT ÁSATRÚ RELIGION
norsemyth.org/2016/09/questions-about-asatru-religion.html
On Thursday, the Star Tribune interviewed me about modern Norse religion for an article on an extremist group attempting to stage "a harvest-type festival" at a Minnesota campground. My post presents my full answers on the appeal of Norse religions today, the nature of modern practice, and the attempted hijacking of the religion by a small group on the extreme fringe.
