Blót kindred Idavallen invites to Disablót at Lekebacken Burial Ground near Kumla on Saturday 28/3-2026.
This blót is open to the public, making it an excellent opportunity for the curious to gain insight into what we do.
Perhaps you have long been within the heathen sphere and wish to meet like-minded people.
Perhaps this is something you have only recently discovered and want to learn more about.
The Nordic Asa-community and Idavallen welcome all with an open mind and good intentions.
What is Disablót?
Disablót occurs at the first full moon before Segerblot and lasts one day/night.
Disablót is deeply rooted in the reverence of the disir – a group of powerful female forces closely associated with fate, fertility, protection, and the general well-being of family and society.
The disir are central figures in Ásatrú.
They are connected to the Norns, who determine our fates, but also to the fylgjur.
Thus, the disir are partly revered as guardians of the ancestors who exercise a profound influence over our lives.
They watch over their relatives, ensure prosperity, and offer protection and guidance through both everyday and spiritual challenges.
The disir are also linked to the valkyries and the Vanadís Freyja.
About the location:
Lekebacken is one of the largest burial grounds in Närke, Sweden.
In total, there are 110 graves here, and not a single one has been investigated.
The oldest grave is a large stone cairn from the Bronze Age.
The cairn is about 3000 years old.
Next to the cairn is a large stone circle with nine standing stones.
It is also a grave but younger than the cairn.
The youngest graves are from the Viking Age and are just over 1000 years old.
They appear as small mounds or stone arrangements and are often overgrown with stone settings.
What can you expect?
Depending on the season, we hold blóts for different reasons.
But the central concept remains the same: we honor the powers and the ancestors, and we offer to them through thoughts, toasts, and gifts.
The hope is to receive something in return.
What that may be is up to the practitioner.
As it is written in Hávamál: “Gift calls for gift.”
During the blót, various ritual toasts will be held, allowing participants to honor deities or beings that are significant to them or can provide assistance.
The first toast is a power ceremony.
This is a silent toast where no drink is consumed.
The second toast is a god toast, where you choose one or more divine powers to honor.
This toast is either drunk or offered by pouring it out.
The final toast is a free toast, where you have the opportunity to say whatever you feel like
It may be a greeting or a tribute to someone or something.
It may also be something you wish to say before the group.
This toast is also either drunk or offered.
It is important to note that all toasts are performed with mead.
This beverage contains alcohol, and if you do not consume it for any reason, it will still be offered at the site.
The above is only part of the ceremony.
Other elements are included as well, and these can vary from one occasion to another.
Good to Know:
• Noric Asa-community is apolitical, and we therefore do not accept any politically charged messages during our blóts and rites.
• To participate, you must swear by the god Tyr. If you cannot do so for any reason, you cannot enter the circle.
• Bring a drinking vessel. This will be used during the various toasts.
• We encourage you to bring offerings in the form of things nature itself can take care of, such as fruit, berries, grain, etc.
Please also bring a stone about the size of a fist.
These are placed on the harg over the years as a monument of our presence.
• Dress according to the weather. The ceremony is stationary, and being cold is never pleasant.
• We offer an initiation rite on site after the blót. This means that you, before the powers, can enter Ásatrú.
This costs 100 SEK.
The fee goes directly to the blót kindred and helps us finance our activities.
If you also want a physical certificate of the performed rite, an additional cost of 60 SEK applies.
We accept Swish.
