When we arrived, a grey blanket of clouds lay over the site and a chilly wind swept through the air, as if winter was reluctant to release its grip. S\u00f3l remained hidden but occasionally let her rays peek through as we prepared the bl\u00f3t table, raised the banner of the Nordic Asa-Community, and our flags adorned with Yggdrasil. Just as the flags were raised, ravens appeared in the sky\u2014they circled above us like guardians, and their presence filled our hearts with warmth. One could feel that the powers approved. To see and hear the Raven God messengers at that moment created a strong sense of harmony with the sacred.     <\/p>\n\n<p>It was the second time we held a bl\u00f3t at this location. The first was in 2021\u2014our very first bl\u00f3t as a bl\u00f3t kindred \u2014 when we gathered for a private \u00c1lfabl\u00f3t. To return now, to hold an open Victory Bl\u00f3t and feel the welcoming presence of the powers\u2014it stirred a deep inner joy and reverence.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Once everything was in place, we took time to walk around the area. It is a powerful place, not only because of the burial mounds and the large grave field where our ancestors rest, but also because this was once a place of allthings. Disputes were resolved here, laws were established, and bl\u00f3ts were likely held in connection with these gatherings. You can feel it in the earth\u2014a pulsing heritage, a force that still vibrates. Standing on top of the mound, looking out over the landscape, gives a deeper understanding of why this place was chosen\u2014both as a gateway to the afterlife and a gathering site.

They thought it was both fun and meaningful that our ancient faith is kept alive\u2014and that we had chosen this very place, where they themselves often feel a strong presence when passing by. Several shared how they had sensed something special here during their walks. Their pride in the cultural heritage of the site was unmistakable. During the bl\u00f3t itself, more passersby paused at a distance and watched with interest.

alike. Some had traveled far\u2014from Listerlandet in Blekinge in the sothern part of Sweden, from Bodafors in Sm\u00e5land, and from other regions. Our bl\u00f3t kindred leader and bl\u00f3tofficiant, Lena Salomonsson, has strong roots in Listerlandet, where her father and part of her family come from. It was especially meaningful for her that participants from there joined us\u2014particularly since two of them are the couple she will wed this summer. The groom\u2019s parents, who also attended, turned out to have connections to Lena\u2019s relatives as well. It became a heartfelt meeting full of conversation and kinship.     <\/p>\n\n<p>The bl\u00f3t began with Kicki, who assisted Lena, striking the drum nine powerful times. Then the Sed och Bruk (Custom and Practice) was read aloud, followed by the closing of the circle\u201416 people united in this sacred rite, accompanied by the rhythm of the drum. The gods, the land spirits, and our ancestors were invoked. This bl\u00f3t was not only dedicated to victory for the future but also a tribute to the coming of summer.<br\/>Lena chose to call upon a rarely mentioned but significant deity\u2014Svasud, described in the Poetic Edda as the father of summer, the one who awakens the season to life. It felt natural to turn to him at that moment. In addition to Svasud, toasts were raised to Odin, Thor, Njord, Freyr, Freyja, and others. Words were spoken with power and heart.      <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-image-gallery uagb-block-83890d00

She spoke about why we gather, about what the Victory Bl\u00f3t means\u2014not just as a holiday, but as a reminder of the struggle for inner and outer victories. She spoke of the strength in community, of the gods we turn to, of triumphs in our lives and our faith. She also mentioned the recent victory in Gamla Uppsala, where the Catholic Pope Stone, after years of struggle, has now been removed from the sacred ground\u2014a strong symbol that we stand up, that we make a difference. Her words struck deeply. It was clear they came from the heart, and many of us felt the power awaken within. The sun\u2019s rays broke through the clouds a little more. As if S\u00f3l herself was listening. Njord sent his approval through the winds swirling around us, even though we were far from the coast.<br\/>It was a powerful moment. One that remains in memory\u2014that lands in the body as warmth, as strength. Lena carried us with her words, with her presence. We didn\u2019t just stand there as participants\u2014we stood as a people, as bearers of something greater. A faith, a will, a longing for meaning, community, and future.            <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-image-gallery uagb-block-b7488fd4
