Sowilo


Sun is our strength
Secure in the sky
Success lies in Sunna
Clarity of cause
Creates its own confidence

We welcome her waxing
With her warming ways
Woefully watching wane while
Birth of bold Balder
Bring brightness and boon

Elhaz


Waxing worthy of Woden
Wielding wyrd as a weapon
We will ward off woe
Persevere in the patterns of
Powerful protection

Hearty of heart he
Who hails holy Heimdall
Helpful to humans from heaven
Deeply depend upon
Divine defense

Perthro


Wonderfully wyrd we wax
Woefully wyrd we wane
Will we weather what will
Nary a nuance
Not known to a Norn

Perthro proposes both
Probable and possible
Promoting past presents
So spiritually sublime
Secret sisters of sooth

Eihwaz


Everyone and everything
Essences of all are one
And in this evergreen
Ask of our ash
Absorb all of its answers

Alluring and inviting
Awesome and inspiring
Yggdrasil’s the answer
All of us are invited into
Our universal Yew

Jera

Oh youth of Yule
Your yearly yield and
Yellow yesteryears
Finalizing in festive
Fulfillment of fertility

The cycle of seasons
Started by Ostara soon
Signal’s summer’s start
The Horned One is here
To help with our harvest

Isa

Steadfast and subtle
Safe and secure
So stoic and solid
Cold character
Constantly controlled

Formidably firm
Frozen with frost
Finds itself foolishly
Inflexible as ice
Insisting upon itself

Nauthiz


Frustrations from failure
Finds further frictions
Finally forcing the fight
Need knows from nothing
Necessity knows from nothing

Resistance to the rime
Restraining the wrong
Results in resilience
Stress and strains
Show signs of serious struggle

Hagalaz


Hail is heavy and hard
Hurtful to the harvest
Sent solid from the sky
Soon sinks into the soil
Starting a second sowing

Divine devastation
Destruction and death
Create out of crisis
Cultivate from the corn
Cut down by the cold

Spiritual Sights and Sounds


Stand tall, be strong
Be humble and without doubt
Look as far as you can see
Fear not how deep you go
See what the dark allows
The night will guide you down
Look as deep as the eye can see
As far as the dark descends
You may not wish to tell of
What you sought and found

Stand tall, be silent
At peace and without doubt
Listen to what is unsaid
Hear what is unheard
Listen to the grass grow, hear
Hear how it grows, listen
Hear the wool upon the sheep
Listen to it grow.  Hear it
You may not wish to listen
To what needs to be heard

Wunjo

Happy are the holy
Having hearth and house in heaven
Himingbjorg is Heimdall's home
Gladly go the gods
Giving graves their ghost

Blessed are the blissful ones
Bringers of bountiful beauty to
Bright halls beyond Bifrost
Generous are the just ones
Joined by joyful ones

Gebo

To get is to give
Gracious is the gifted
Who gives after getting
Sharing of spoils
Is salve for the soul

Wholeness is happiness
Hoarding is harmful
Unhealthy and hurtful
The presenting of presents
Is a practice with promise

Kenaz

Qualitative not quantitative
Create out of chaos
Create from the core
Transformation is tough
Truth must be told

Illumination is elusive
Alive and aloof
Although inspired and inviting
Forage for fagots
Find the flame and fan

Raidho

The route may be rough
The road may be rocky
The rider runs the risk
The destination depends
Upon determination and drive

To travel the tree
Of trouble and travail
Tough trip to take
Misguided goals bring
Grief to the gods

Ansuz

All Father is everywhere
All wise in everything
Is Odin of the ancient Aesir
Seeker of sacred sooth
Searcher of spiritual souls

Wisdom is Woutan's weal
Wisdom is Woutan's wight
Woutan welcomes the wise
Revealer of righteous realms
Read right the runes

Thurisaz

Thorr the Thunderer
Thorn to the Thurses
Tho Thokk thrives
Strength against strife
Success against stress

Mustering Mjollnir's might
Magni maintains Midgard
Marking mighty mounts
Divinely descended
Defender to death

Uruz

Either ally or enemy
Awful and awesome
Is the aurochs or Ur
Solid strength upon strength
Steadily stirring the soul

Fierce friend of the fend
Ferocious foe on the field
Formidable fiend on the fjord
The wild ox wields
Wyrd weapons of wonder

Fehu

Wealth and weal
Both waxes and wanes
Brings wellness and woe
No scandal or shame
Unless squandered or stolen

The fruits of fortune
Both flowers and fades
Bought free for a fee
Neglect not the needy
Nor neglected in need
