INVOCATION TO FRIGGA
Spinner of the Clouds,
Keeper of the stars,
Singer of the Web
Weaver of the way,
Mother of the Light,
Bride of the Wind,
In company with others,
I see You,
On solitary pathways,
I seek You,
Keeper of the Keys,
Your mysteries unfold,
One spun ray at time,
From your abundance, a roving,
From your spindle, a thread,
From your loom, an understanding,
From your hands, a skill,
Within your arms, a keeping,
Within your wisdom, protection,
Within your fold, a family...
I greet and welcome you...

| FRIDAY is FRIGGA'S DAY Honor All-Mother at your Hearth fire with a candle in a cauldron or a backyard blaze. Send the light to touch other lights. Add your needs to the fire for Needfire Blessings. |
| BLESSINGS |
Light a candle and watch it glow and close your
eyes and see it still burning. Bring it in. Light a
candle and watch it burn, begin to breathe a
patterned beat and with your hands, a rattle or
a drum magnifies the beat and takes it into
other realms. Rock back and forth and feel the
hearthfire glow within you and watch it grow.
See the light that links you to the mothers and
grandmothers who’ve lit the fire early
mornings, smoored the embers at night and
nourished the life flame of their families.
See the candle as part of the light. See the
candle as sun and moon and stars that light our
earth. See the hearth fires and home fires and
camp fires and hidden fires and bonfires and
life fires that burn through time, igniting the
spirit even now. Chant the fire’s song. Bring it
in.
Gather the rollicking, rolling energy you have
created and let it come into your center, into
your solar plexus, all that energy radiating
throughout you. You are the candle's light. You
are the light unto the feet of the Gods and of
Goddesses. Chant the song and raise your
hands and form the rune of sending. See
Ingwaz before you with the candle flame
encircling you, infilling you…
Send it out.
