On Saturday, April 12th, Bl\u00f3t kindred Idavallen was meant to hold its customary open Victory Bl\u00f3t at Hammarsudde, Hammar\u00f6 in V\u00e4rmland, Sweden. However, this was not the case this time, as our bl\u00f3t kindred leader and NBR Thommy V\u00e4h\u00e4salo was unfortunately struck by illness.As a result, the planning fell through, and we decided instead to hold the Victory Bl\u00f3t separately. <\/p>\n\n
A few brief words from Thommy, who held his bl\u00f3t in his Gudahof Tr\u00e4t\u00e4lja:<\/p>\n\n
To feel weakness and disappointment before a Victory Bl\u00f3t are emotions I am very unaccustomed to bearing, but this time they lie upon me like a wet blanket.Not fulfilling what one has promised\u2014regardless of it being due to illness in this case\u2014feels deeply wrong, but I too can be affected by sickness and had to cancel Idavallen’s official Victory Bl\u00f3t.Nevertheless, the bl\u00f3t remains just as important, and for my part, it was carried out in the Gudahof Tr\u00e4t\u00e4lja.<\/p>\n\n

As for myself, I went to the Mog\u00e5rdern burial ground, located in Kils municipality, V\u00e4rmland in Sweden. A burial site from the Late Iron Age, consisting of 22 mounds and 5 round stone settings. A very beautiful and accessible place which I had previously only driven past.After just over an hour of walking around and attuning myself to the place, I held my Victory Bl\u00f3t with the raven as my only companion.I reflected deeply on what has passed, as well as what still lies hidden from us behind the veil of the future. My thoughts and emotions turned to my own choices and commitments. To my beloved family, my bl\u00f3t kindred, and its future. To the powers I found relevant there and then, with the intention that they might assist me and those I hold dear with the tools to carve out a future worthy of what we seek and strive to achieve. But also gratitude for all that has already been. <\/p>\n
