Tag: Álfablót

For the third time we now hold the Álfablót at the Fagertofta burial ground, a 10-minute drive from Nässjö. The burial ground has in folk speech been called “The Judgement Seat,” which derives from all the stone circles found there. The burial ground is a very majestic site that lies beautifully down in a valley. It is truly well-maintained and the place is orderly. This is a place you should all visit when you have the chance, preferably when Draupnir holds a blót there. This is a dear place to us, and we gladly return many times.

8/10 Vergelmer held an Álfablót at Gültzauudden in Luleå. We were three people who took part this weekend. It is the time of year when we together look back to our loved ones who are no longer among us, those who have left to take their next journey to a new world.

On Saturday, the 8th of November, the blót kindred Idavallen gathered at the venerable Dye stone circle to hold our customary Álfablót. This sacred celebration has come to be one of the most appreciated within our honored blót kindred. Sunna would have blessed us with her spectacular journey westward if it were not for the clouds that blocked the view of this display as we arrived on a November afternoon at the Dye stone circle. A place we return to every year to honor our forefathers and our ancient traditions.

On Saturday, November 8th, the blót kindred Sleipner held its closed Álfablót.
This blót is a very personal one, and many choose to hold it by themselves or in the company of the people closest to them. During this blót, thoughts turn to the ancestors, and the emotions that arise during these toasts are incredibly personal when it comes to those who have passed on. For this reason, Sleipner chooses to keep this blót closed.

Saturday, November 8 at 3:00 PM, the blót kindred Gungnir held its Álfablót at a place that was new to many of us, just outside Falköping, Sweden. The location was Ekornavallen, a very ancient burial site where many of our forebears rest in various types of graves used throughout the ages. Blót officiant was Angelica Jarfr Schwoebel, and assistant officiant was Lena Hildebrand Svensson.

On the first day of November, Ymer held a closed *Álfablót*, where the blót kindred, along with close friends and family, were invited. This took place at the venerable and mysterious Rösaring in Upplands Bro. If you have never been there, this place is highly recommended, as its history is unique and the ancient remains are fascinating.

Lördagen den 23 November höll Blotlag Yggdrasil Alvablot. Det var ett slutet blot för blotlagsmedlemmar med familjer för att hedra våra förfäder och de som inte finns med oss på Midgård idag, men som ändå alltid är med oss.

Den 16:e November höll blotlaget Draupnir ett slutet Alvablot vid Fagertofta gravfält.

Hornets entoniga ljud kallade till Alvablot, på lördagen den 16 november vid Hönsgärde gravfält utanför Knivsta.

Den 16/11 höll Sleipner blotlag sitt årliga Alvablot. Ett blot till våra makter och dom som gått på Midgård innan oss, ett blot ägnat åt förfäder, när som avlägsna, blodsband eller ej.
