More and more often I'm seeing people wearing Mjolnir pendants. I always make a point of complimenting them on it., as it's a good way to find out WHY they wear it. The answers inevitably vary from religious reasons to being "Vikings" fans. Often, I'm told they were received as gifts, which doesn't actually tell me much. So I'll reply with, "A gift for a gift, do you mind me asking what you gifted in return?" Thier reactions always tell me what I really wanted to know. ..if they follow the old ways too.
I was curious if my fellow Heathens were experiencing the same thing and, if so, what kind of responses they were getting?

Inspired by past blogs about pagan traditions being co-opted by Christian missionaries, a guest writer submitted this poem in a familiar Seussian style.

Just for the beauty.

Asatru Child Blessing

Urd has spun the thread of your life,
Verdandi weaves your tapestry bright ,
Skuld will measure the fabric´s length,
And Fr**ga stitch for you runes of strength.

May you be clothed in these Goddesses' grace,
May you walk safely on Midgard´s face,
Have courage and steadfastness, vigor and health,
Honor and bounty, wisdom and wealth.

Thor, I give this child to your care
Freya, let him be loving and fair
Disir, keep him company kind,
All-Seeing Odin, open his mind.

All Aesir and Vanir, until he is grown,
And can stand up for himself and his own,
Protect him and guide him on all of his ways;
Friends of mankind, to you we give praise.
