The layers placed there, laid down at the well-side,

We welcome the dises of all the gathered folk,
great mothers, marking well the luck of our lines!
We hail you in your holy rede, giving guidance to our families!


Honoring, Blessing, and Offering

Now, in this year's beginning, we hail for the blessings of the last --
We ask as well, for your blessings once more, that our new ventures may be as fruitful.
We hold high the drinking horn, and pour offering, heart-felt in the giving.
As the spring-might fares from the thawing earth, so fare our gifts to the goddesses and dises all!

Heilsa!

Personal Hails and Libations



Ending

The first furrows are plowed, first seeds planted, first layers laid down for the year,
so too the first blót, for the goddesses held, to their holiness may we always be true!

Heilsa!
