Seed-Casting Rite

Take a mixture of barley and oats, and walk about the land, saying :

"The Good Lord gave forth seed,
That all might grow,
That all might eat."

Sprinkle and cast seed upon the earth. Repeat:

"The Good Lord gave forth seed,
That all might grow,
That all might eat."

Continue walking about, scattering the seed. If there is grass growing, stoop down and swirl the tips of the grass with your hands, as if you were caressing a beloved pet, and feel Fro Ing in the vegetation sprouting up and softly swishing past your fingers. Cast forth more seed, and say,

"The Good Lord gave forth seed,
That all might grow,
That all might eat."

Then say,

"May the land-wights take this gift.
May Frodi's shining friends
Share in these seeds of frith."

Then say,

"The Good Lord gave forth seed,
That all might grow,
That all might eat."

Continue until you have given all the barley and oats you collected.




This is a very simple ritual, but it is quite effective if performed. It is best if you imagine yourself as Fro Ing, giving forth his seed,
so that you are gathering the Lord with your imagination, your simple devotion, and your ritual action. Allow the word "seed" in all of its varied and voluptuous connotations to gather in your mouth and spill out your lips as you speak the repeated chant, charging the land with all of the life-potential, growth, and orgasmic joy of seed. Remember to palpably enjoy the land about you, and keeping it simple, rejoice in your freedom, and all the Gods who support that freedom, most especially Freyr. Hail Freedom's Frolicking Frith-bringer!
