Holy Tidings for the Yule
Holy Yuletide has begun
The Mother night arrives
Time to celebrate the hunt
The bounty of the gods
Stoke the fires spread their warmth
Gods and Kinsman come to the mead hall
Raise a horn to the year that's past
Celebrate the promise of rebirth
Serve the feast and savory mead
Serve ancestral spirits too
Hail the Odin All Father
Join us at this tide
Hail Thor friend of men
Join us for some mead
Hail Frigga The nurturing Mother
Who bears the promise of new birth
Hail the ancestors gone before
Join us from Valhall this tide
Hail Kinsman honored guests
Join the feast and raise your horns
Boast we now of challenges met
The success we had this Year
Toast the year that now will come
And the challenges to face
Gods bestow blessings on our folk
Gods keep them safe from harm
To those whose time in Midgard ends
See them safe into Valhall
Valkyries guide the slain to Valhall
Let the honored dead feast in that hallowed hall
Aesir Vanir Ancestors and Kin
The feasting time now ends
Spread the furs around this hall
Sleep safe here this night
To all a blessed Yuletide
May the year new blesssings bring
Hold the gods and Kinsman dear
In frith we will endure
