On Saturday, March 28, the blót kindred Gungnir held its traditional Dísablót outdoors on Hönö. The location is a labyrinth called Tryggeberg. A beautiful place that we gladly return to. Easy to get to by both car and public transport.

On Saturday, 31/1, Gungnir and Draupnir jointly held Midwinter blót. The location was Vårkumla passage grave outside Falköping in Sweden, a site with origins dating back to 5000 years before our current era. A well-chosen place, offering a view over the surrounding countryside and the nearby plateau mountain. The weather that day offered severe winter cold with several degrees below zero and, at times, strong winds that made the cold cut straight through marrow and bone.

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.

16 November höll blotlaget Gungnir Alvablot vid Valeberg-Ryds gravfält.

23 mars höll blotlaget Gungnir Disablot utanför Örby i Marks kommun.

Mellan den 25 och 27 januari höll Idavallen slutet midvinterblot. Vi hade tidigare beslutat att var och en på eget bevåg utövar detta blot på lämpligt vis.

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.
