"I, Freyja of Van, choice of the fallen, mistress of the seed and the radiance of the brisingamen, praise you, Mani, in your abundance! Your light is a mirror of lust, it kindles the blood of lovers, it calls forth the flood of womanhood, it opens the gates of vision and dreams"

Freya:, "Skadi, you jealous old giantess… Do you think these pretty white tears of yours can cool what burns in me?" -Hail Freya

Warm and bright with glowing locks conjures up love for you. Hail Freya!

"Love fiercely, fight fearlessly." Hail Freya!

Offer, Don’t Hoard • One act of anonymous help per week: leave soup for a neighbor, pay for the next coffee in line. Eir’s mountain healed only those who brought sacrifices; generosity is the original prescription. Hail Eir the great healer!

Sleep Like You’re Guarding the Gate of Asgard • Cool, dark, silent room (under 67 °F / 19 °C). • Magnesium from Epsom-salt footbaths or leafy greens. • No caffeine after high noon.

Hands in Soil • Grow or forage one edible plant. Even a windowsill pot of chives reconnects u to the cycle of growth and decay. • Lay hands daily: a 30-sec shoulder rub for a partner, a hug for a child, a pat on a friend’s back. Touch lowers cortisol in both giver and receiver

• Weekly sauna or cold plunge: 15 min heat + 2 min cold. Alternation trains blood vessels and kills inflammation. • “Wound-talk” circles: once a week, gather three trusted friends. Each speaks for 7 minutes without interruption—modern symbel for the soul.

Tend the Inner Hearth • Breathwork at dawn: 5 minutes of box breathing (4-4-4-4) while facing east—calms the vagus nerve faster than mead calms a berserker.

• Herbs over pills: nettle tea for iron, chamomile for calm, pine-needle syrup for vitamin C.

• Light evening meal before sundown: broth, greens, berries. • Fast from supper to breakfast 12–14 hours—let the gut rest like fields under snow.

Eat Like the Harvest Is Never Guaranteed • One big meal at midday (the old Norse dagmál*), rich in protein and fermented foods: salmon, skyr, sauerkraut, rye.

• Stretch like a cat by the hearth: 5–10 minutes of full-body mobility every morning—think yoga’s downward dog or the Norse stretching of the shield (arms wide, spine long).

• Carry, lift, throw: once or twice a week, train with kettlebells, sandbags, or your own kids. Strength is the best insurance against injury.

Move Like You’re Crossing Fjords • Daily “micro-quests”: 20–30 minutes of brisk walking in real weather—rain, wind, snow. Cold air on the face is free medicine.

Live by the Sun and the Seasons • Mark the wheel of the year. Celebrate solstices and equinoxes with fire, food, and friends—your nervous system needs predictable turning points as much as Viking sailors needed the stars.

Health-conscious, Eir recommends this • Rise with the light, rest with the dark. No blue screens after sunset; let melatonin do its ancient work. 🧵

May her falcon's cloak grant you flight through fear and her amber tears wash away doubt. Hail Freya, on this magical evening - live wildly, love deeply and let the dead teach the living. Have a nice Hollow ween!
