Prayers & Rituals
These are just a few of the many prayers and rituals written by practitioners of Northern Tradition Paganism. There are also prayers on the shrines on this site. If you have prayers or rituals that you would like to donate to this page, please feel free to contact us.
These, and many other prayers for the Norse/Germanic Gods and their various practitioners, can be found in Be Thou My Hearth And Shield, edited by Elizabeth Vongvisith, on the Books page.We hope to have an accompanying book of rituals soon as well.
