Happy Sigrblot. Sigrblot or Sumarsdag celebrates the first day of summer according to the Old Icelandic calendar. This Norse holiday was a time to celebrate planting and make sacrifices to Odin for blessings on summer travels and raids.
Sigrblot was first mentioned in literature in the Ynglinga saga during the year 1225. This King’s saga follows the history of the Norse kings starting with the Norse Gods until around 1200.
In honor of this our Goði Beast, Chancellor of Religious Studies, offered to give away a beautiful set of hand-carved runes.
I don’t know if it was the sunshine or the positive energy on Discord during the Drawing but one set of runes turned into two and then an embroidered hat and some sticker packs were given away. Pocket alters and a Havamal. It just kept going! All in all, the total count was 11 gifts given out by random draw of our current registered ( through the new website) members.
Speaking of which if you are a member but have not refreshed your information on the new site YOU MUST or you are not counted in these types of events!
