Another miðsumar prayer I've been working on.
Based in the sedish custom
We pray to Eir
sitting in thought,
she is the best physician.
Lyfjaberg is it called,
Lyfjaberg Hill of Healing
a haven for the weary and wounded,
where even a year’s sickness
melts before her hands
Let his feet find its sturdy rise.
Let strength return where pain once dwelled.
By this, she shall be invoked.
Come forth, Eir,
pure and strong.
Bind his wounds with blessed song.
Lift your child from shadow.
You, compassionate mother of mending.
By this, you shall be invoked.
Help now Eir,
I call upon you now,
Galdr me galdrs
that are good,
help your child, mother.
For this shall she be invoked.
Hail Eir!

I have found that one who travels to far off places, is lucky to do so. I have met people in remote towns that have never heard of the town 20 miles away.
Some people don't leave a place all their lives, some do and settle elsewhere. Our ancestors have done this since the gifts bestowed upon us.
The Havamal speaks of this in .any verses as well.
6. A man shall not boast | of his keenness of mind,
But keep it close in his breast;
To the silent and wise | does ill come seldom
When he goes as guest to a house;
(For a faster friend | one never finds
Than wisdom tried and true.)

Is forgiveness a thing in heathenry?
No. Forgiveness was not a concept that our ancestors considered as a theological aspect of their spirituality. Instead of forgiveness, our native inclination revolved around the concept of redemption.
Redemption in our faith is not like the xtian idea of a savior redeeming our souls; but rather an act or series of acts to redeem one's honor when a dishonorable act was committed.
The act/s one does to "Redeem" their honor is called atonement. When one is atoning for their wrongs and crimes, they are specifically doing so to regain their honor in the eyes of their folk and the gods.
Our culture was/is an honor based culture. Losing the honor that your kith and kin held of you was one of the worst possible punishments one could face, next to full outlawry.
When dishonorable acts were committed, public shaming was a horrible punishment upon the individual. If the individual did not redeem their honor in the eyes of their folk and the gods, they risked dying in shame. To die in shame risked your family soul or fylgja, abandoning you in the life after this. If this were to occur, your ancestors may not recognize you and may not welcome you to the kin well where all the souls of your ancestors dwell. In such a state, ones soul may be lost or stolen by ill beings who may drag your soul to realms where ones essence is devoured and torn apart.
This is why the honor and shaming system of our culture, which was the law of the tribe created uniformity and cohesiveness of the tribe.
Shaming would motivate people to atone for their ill actions, which brought dishonor upon their family.
Shaming was/is a powerful instrument of punishment that corrects ill behavior and preserves the honor of ones family and tribe.

More elaboration regarding the "horns" seen on Odinic and berserker figures.
I really don't have much today just plans to begin more work on the Ve and shed this weekend.
I have decided to remove the in ground fire pit due to the hazard it has become. In its place I will make a stone box and within it a sealed wooden box. This will contain a deer skull from previous years, a guardian of the Ve if you will. The land will be helga with fire and a marked off space a peace stead.
I have decided to move it from the garden location due to the boundary tree tops breaking off.

Just a bit of a disclaimer I know a bunch that have never been able to confront me personally but claim disrespectful and shameful things. By our old laws evidence is required to come fourth. Meaning fraudulent claims as usual.

One of the lessons we're working on at Kvasir Academy is how to sing in Galdralag, the traditional meter used for chanting and invoking the gods. As part of an assignment, I wrote a simple galdr to Þórr. It's basic and can easily be expanded upon, but I wanted to share it to show the kind of material we're learning.
Soon, we’ll have blótgothi's and blótgyðja's trained and ready to perform rituals while singing to the gods in the traditional way—honoring them through voice, meter, and devotion.
We pray to Þórr,
Hear us call upon you now,
Strongest of gods and men, son of Óðinn.
For this shall he be invoked.
He who outwitted Alvíss,
And defeated Hrungnir, dread of the jötnar.
Leikn was lamed, and her laughter stilled.
For this shall he be invoked.
We pray to Þórr,
Bring us peace and prosperity.
Hallow our homes, and ward our hearth.
For this shall he be invoked.
Hail Thor

In the Styrbjarnar þáttr Svíakappa, Eiríkr inn sigrsæli says “Óðinn á yðr alla”, Odin owns you all, before he sacrifices his enemies to Odin. In the Gautreks saga, Starkaðr says “Nú gef ek þik Óðni”; now I give you to Odin. Things to keep in mind for blóts of our own. ᚬ

One of our sacred trees of Goðpjórð, a green apple tree. It looks like a good harvest on time this year. Last year was ahead of schedule and we didn't pay to much attention to the tree. They fell at the end of July and into August.
I also have a downed crab apple I have thought of due to it being part of the nine herbs charms
