Tag: Blót Kindred Gungnir

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.

The Blót kindred gathered for the customary Victory Blót on April 12th. The location was new to most of us—a burial field with a history stretching back at least 4,500 years. Yours truly and Ulfva Hvidegaard served as assistant officiant.

On March 15th, the blót kindred Gungnir gathered at Vännåkra Burial Ground in Sweden to hold a Disablót under a cloudy, chilly sky. Uwe Pötter led his first open blót with dignity, assisted by Susanne Rutfält. A common buzzard soared above, as if acknowledging the presence of the powers. The atmosphere was filled with fellowship, reverence, and heartfelt humor.

We gathered at the passage graves in Vårkumla outside Falköping for Gungnir and Draupnir’s joint Midwinter Blót.
The footpath from the parking lot was beautifully lined with torches all the way to the blót site.

On Sunday, January 12, 2025, members of Blót Kindred Idavallen held their midwinter blót separately. I do not have much to add regarding this, as I myself, together with NBR Thommy Vähäsalo, participated in Blót Kindreds Gungnir and Draupnir’s joint Midwinter Blót this year.

27/1 samlades vi vid Valeberg-Ryds gravfält i Skaraborg för ännu ett midvinterblot. En hemtam blotplats vid detta laget då det varken är första eller sista blotet här.
