Hail to the Golden Lady

Bydruidinthecity June 13, 2016

Hail to the Golden Lady,
Who cries golden tears.
Brísingamen’s Bearer,
Falcon Cloak Wearer,
Chooser of the Slain,
Hildisvíni’s rider,
Cat Herder, Vanadis.

Lady of passion and strength
who brought Seith to the Aesir,
who supports me through my days,
and blesses me through my nights.

Beautiful Vanadis,
Accept our honor and passion.
Lady Freya,
We honor you.
