The Disclaimer: First, I do not practice any form of Native American spirituality. My practice is derived from my understanding of ancient northern Eurasian practices. Second, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of any Asatru or Heathen group. I do not identify as Asatru or Heathen. I am a northern-tradition Pagan, which is a religious tradition that is reconstructionist-derived, rather than a reconstructionist religious tradition such as Asatru and/or Heathenry. The views espoused in these pages may or may not reflect the views of most Asatru and/or Heathen people or religious groups. They are derived from the personal gnosis of myself and other people whom I trust and respect. I do not claim that they are provable by academic sources, nor that they are anything other than what I say they are. Read at your own risk.
(Linda Demissy says: Very useful
in spinning wool for magical purposes. The words are traditional, I added the
tune.)
Kemba,
spinna, tæja, tvinna
trogið þæfa í.
Mala, skakam mín er vinna,
mykrið veldur því.
Comb, spin,
tease, twine
stamp wool in a trough.
Mill, churn, that's my work
Darkness is the reason.
