Blot to Odin All-Father
Blot to Odin All-Father
Edin is a God of magic, war and
death. He is the founder and an expert
in rune magic and the giver of spiritual ecstasy and magical arts to the
mystics and Shamans. Odin in his capacity
is any other law giving head God. He can
be found in the local town, city hall or state capitol building. The bigger the political sway of the
building, the better. Wednesday is named
after Woden, the English form of Odin. Odin is the main God character in the 2001 novel 'American

Invocation to Odin All-Father
Hail Odin, Lord of Asgard,
Warrior and wanderer, valiant and wise,
You to whom all the gods of Asgard look,
Sky Father on the eight-legged steed,
You who traded an eye for wisdom
And ruled a turbulent realm,
Give us the wisdom to accept
The twists and turns of Fate
Even as you surrendered yourself
To the mercies of the Norns.
Protect us, All-Father,
From what harm may come to us.
Lead us through the wilderness
And bring us safely to that great hall
That you reserve only for the brave of spirit.
(Each comes forward and is purified with the evergreen branch. They choose a rune with their eyes closed and one who is studied in such things tells them the meaning of the rune that they have selected. Then the mead is passed around in a toast, and the rest poured out in a libation to Odin.)
