Hail to Thor, defender of the great gods,
defender of men, warder of borders,
warder of the home. Master of lightning,
guide of storms, we call on you to keep us safe.
Friend Thor, husband of golden-haired Sif,
father of children strong and fair, Modi
and Magni and beautiful Trude,
travel companion of crafty Loki,
master of Thrudheim, opposer of etins,
wielder of irresistible Mjollnir,
with gauntlets of iron you prepare yourself,
with belt of might you gird yourself for battle.
Many tales tell of your feats of strength,
your courage, your wit, your aid to those in need.
Many tales tell of your constant struggle
to keep safe the walls of shining Asgard.
Red-bearded Thor, stalwart one, enduring one,
matchless champion of frail humanity,
we thank you for your protection. Hail Thor!

Hail to Thor, red-bearded warder, wielder of sky-fire,
oak-splitter, thunderer, stout holder of Mjollnir.
Friend Thor, trusted protector of men and women,
of those who journey far from home among strangers,
guardian of Asgard and Midgard both, we call to you
to keep us safe, to watch over our children,
to support our own best efforts and lend your strength
where our own may fail. Thor, keeper of the border,
of the line between those within and those without;
ever wise in the world's ways, tireless traveller
through lands fair and foul, of friend and foe alike;
seeker of the direct path, the sure road. Hail Thor!

Hail Thor, constant defender of man.
We welcome you, we ask your blessing.
Strong-armed one, red-bearded storm-bringer,
we wait for winter's snow and sleet
to end, for your life-giving rains to come,
for the earth to return your gift
with her own. Thor, husband of bright Sif,
you keep us safe, you nourish our lands,
in you our faith is firm. Hail Thor!

Hail to red Thor, strong-armed defender of Midgard,
great-hearted friend of men, guardian of travelers,
bold wielder of Mjollnir, sender of wild spring storms.
Thor, son of the deep Earth, son of far-seeing Odin,
ever-watchful guardian, foe of earth-rending chaos,
we welcome the dark skies, the blackness streaked with light,
the hard rains, the soft green life that follows.
Hail earth's safekeeper! Hail the rain-bringer! Hail Thor!
hearthstone: (Default)
Hail to Thor, strong-armed wielder of Mjollnir,
whose might is well-known to friend and to foe,
who guards the lands of gods and men alike.
Great Thor, mightiest of all the Aesir;
friend Thor, who we turn to in time of need;
Thor, who joys in feasting and fellowship!
Thor we honor! Thor we praise! Hail to Thor!

Hail to Sif, golden-haired bride of red Thor,
whose beauty and goodness are known to all,
whose touch brings life to our cold northern lands.
Fair Sif, whose tales are yet unknown to us;
gentle Sif, provider of fruitfulness;
Sif, who holds the heart of red-bearded Thor!
Sif we honor! Sif we praise! Hail to Sif!


We decided that this year we would have each of us prepare something in honor of those gods we are particularly fond of. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other folks have come up with!
