Hail to the Golden Lady

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.

Bydruidinthecity July 4, 2016

I find that I have very limited time in the mornings – it’s a balancing act of getting to work early enough, and making sure that I get enough sleep. Even with the limited time, it’s still important to me to have time for morning devotionals, but how do I honor all the beings I…
