Valley of the Yews November 22nd<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ydalir (yew-dale) is a Norse holiday is under the ruler-ship of the god Ullr (pronounced \u201cool\u201d).\u00a0 Also known as the \u201cThe Magnificent\u201d, the \u201cbow God\u201d and sometimes the \u201cDeath God\u201d; he is the god of skiing, archery, hunting, sports, combat, contests, sky, fertility, magick, sea, beauty and enchantment.\u00a0 He was thrown out of Asgard by Odhinn because the All-Father was jealous.\u00a0 His parentage differs on whom you ask, but he is said to be the brother of Ullin, son of Sif and the Step-son of Thor.\u00a0 He is responsible for justice and oaths were sworn on his ring, called the \u201cring of Ull\u201d.\u00a0 He carries a bow, wears snowshoes and his shield is also used as a boat.<\/p>\n

The Yew in Celtic mythology holds wisdom in its fruit, which is eaten by the salmon.\u00a0 Whoever eats the salmon, gains the knowledge of all the answers they seek.\u00a0 The Druids used the Yew to make wands for divination.<\/p>\n

This spell is designed to ask Ullr to guide your path, offer up to him a sacrifice (of bread) and to swear on his ring to the old gods.<\/p>\n

SUPPLIES: Stylis (something to carve a symbol into a candle; like a pin), candle, loaf of bread<\/p>\n

THE SPELL:<\/p>\n

Carve the Sowilo\u00a0 \"image001\"<\/a> rune onto the candle and say:<\/p>\n

\u201cGod of sky and of sea,<\/p>\n

Justice and fertility;<\/p>\n

Son of Sif, Step-son of Thor,<\/p>\n

Guide my boat and be the oar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lay the bread upon the altar and say:<\/p>\n

\u201cUllr,<\/p>\n

On Your ring, I swear an oath,<\/p>\n

And offer up to You this loaf.\u201d<\/p>\n

Light the candle and say:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the old gods I swear,<\/p>\n

Held in my heart everywhere.<\/p>\n

In the Valley of the yews<\/p>\n

To share the knowledge with the few.<\/p>\n

To speak Their truth and defend Their ways,<\/p>\n

Until the end of our days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spend some time in mediation to receive any guiding message or take note of anything in your environment in the next few days that may \u201csteer\u201d you on your path.<\/p>\n

AFTER THE SPELL:<\/p>\n

Leave some of the bread on the altar overnight but be sure to place the reminder outside for the animals and nature spirits.\u00a0 If at all possible, leave the candle to burn out, but if you cannot, burn it everyday until it burns down and then bury the remaining wax off your property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
