In the old days, Yule was not simply a show.

It was kept by those who could stand the cold, do the work, and share what was on the table.

We finished the work day we set out to do: we brought down the tree, got the site handled, and put real hands-on effort into building something that lasts.

This is the kind of work that carries a year forward—not empty resolutions spoken in warmth, but effort given in the cold. What we build now is what makes the new year strong.

We do this so our folk are stronger in real, material ways—by improving one another’s land, homes, and livelihoods, and by showing up when help is needed. This is how lives are changed: not by words, but by work.

Afterward, we broke bread with brunch from a local German bakery—simple, hearty, and exactly the kind of fellowship this season is meant to carry.

Join us in January as we kick off the new year with a celebration of the strength of the mighty Thunder God at Thorrablot!

This week's daily spiritual practice just dropped:

1) Read a few pages from a spiritual book
2) speak your gratitudes
3) speak to the divine powers, make any requests for the day
4) rune galdr:

ᚨᛚᚢ - ALU: 3x, this is to build spiritual energy and get our voice warmed up

Then galdr each rune followed by the incantation, three times through!

ᚱ - Raidho: We move as one, our actions honorable and righteous!

ᛉ - Algiz: Shielded by divine protection, our will is one with the Gods!

ᚹ - Wunjo: By bonds of blood and frith, our Folk dwell in joy and harmony!

After galdring the rune row three times through, repeat this incantation three times with conviction:

By rightful action and spiritual connection our Folk are united and joyous! 3x

Hail the Gods!

Hail the Ancestors!

Hail the Folk!

Hail the friendly Land Spirits!

Our Feast of the Einherjar Moot on November 8th was a warm gathering— good food, good company, and honor for those who have served and those who never returned. We raised our glasses to the Einherjar, and enjoyed the frith of our kin as we ate a gourmet meal and talked of our fond memories together and made grand plans for Yule and for the coming year. Thanks to everyone who showed. If you missed it, we’ll do another soon—DM to stay in the loop for Yule in the Dallas-Fort Worth area!

What if the spiritual struggle which still rages in the West today began 3,000 years ago, after a schism in the original Indo-European religion? HEROIC LITER...

Our Third Annual Harvestfest was a wonderful time full of raucous laughter, delicious food, and heartfelt ceremony as we honored our Gods, Ancestors, and the Land Spirits, as well as the pioneers of early Texas settlement. We toured an historic fort established by early Texas settlers, and stayed in a barracks formerly occupied by German POW's during the second world war.

We competed in games of strength and skill like Hammerschlagen and Hammer Hold, with the winner receiving a beautiful scolecite crystal and bragging rights for the year. Then we enjoyed our lunch and a tour of the fort. After that we spent time building frith and getting to know one another before having our traditional harvest pork feast followed by a raffle and auction.

In the evening things took a turn for the spiritual as we led our folk in a guided galdr meditation on the Jera rune, followed by a blot to Freyr, the God of male fertility, to thank him for all of the bounty that we have seen in our lives and all of the payoff we have seen for our hard work. Finally we shared desserts and a heartfelt sumbel around the fire as we shared our hopes, dreams, experiences, and even an original folk song that was written by one of our own to honor Baldr, The Prince of Might and Bright.

It was such an amazing time and we can't wait to come back next year. Join Fridr Folk Kindred in October for Winter Nights as we meet once again to honor Fr**ga and the Disir and learn about the roots of Halloween 🎃 👻

Harvestfest is our biggest event of the year. A celebration of the fruits of our labors, the Gods who inspired our work, a tribute to our Ancestors, and a chance to give back to the Land Spirits. Join us as we honor Freyr, Thor, Odin, and our entire pantheon as we stay in a cozy historical cabin replete with feasting, games, a raffle, an auction, and multiple ceremonies to honor our Gods. Driving distance from Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and Houston, this is an event no Texan (or Asatruar in general) will want to miss! So mark your calendars and ask off work now folks! It's an honor to serve yall 🙏🏻

Sigrblot was a blast! I believe Odin and the ancestors were pleased with our efforts to honor them. Can't wait to see everyone again for Harvestfest. Hail the Gods!💪🏻⚡️
