For a Fir Tree

The Fir tree is Nerthus’ tree; she enjoys all evergreens. Winter seems to be a time of year that she especially likes, and the evergreens are a living promise of abundance even in the cold. Tie a ribbon of any colour to a special fir tree and say this prayer:

Erce, Erce, Erce, I hail you

Even in this time of Earth’s sleeping;

May I and my family continue to grow

And survive like your green in the cold.
