This charm is drawn from original old English manuscripts and was developed
by Swain Wodening and the Ealdriht as a means of hallowing space prior to their rituals.
It can be sung while fire dancing with hand lamps, using the fire to cleanse not only places
but, if needed, specific things as well. This can be easily done by carrying a candle
around one’s house, or a torch around one’s external dwelling.
The power for magic comes partly through the fire itself and partly through the voice.
Channel the power you raise through the song itself.

 

Anglo-Saxon Hallowing Charm         Anglo-Saxon Hallowing Charm MP3

Fire I carry round the frith-stead,
and bid men to keep the peace.
Light I carry for enclosing,
and bid ill wights flee away.

Thunor hallow,
Thunor hallow,
Thunor hallow this holy stead.

Fire I carry round the frith-stead,
and bid men to keep the peace.
Light I carry for enclosing,
and bid outlaws flee away.

Thunor hallow,
Thunor hallow,
Thunor hallow this holy stead.

Thunor hallow,
Thunor hallow,
Thunor hallow this holy stead.

In Anglo-Saxon:                    Thunor wéoh MP3      

Fyr ic bere ymb friðgearde,
Ond béode men frið fremman,
Líeg ic bere tó belùcan,
Béode aelwihta fléogan aweg.

Thunor wéoh,
Thunor wéoh,
Thunor wéoh þisne ealh.

Fyr ic bere ymb friðgearde,
Ond béode men frið fremman,
Líeg ic bere tó belùcan,
Béode utlaga féran aweg.

Thunor wéoh,
Thunor wéoh,
Thunor wéoh þisne ealh.

Thunor wéoh,
Thunor wéoh,
Thunor wéoh þisne ealh.
