Holda's Weaving Blessing

by Geordie Ingerson

spinning3After the dyebath, we are back to the realm of Mother Holda again, and the thread is woven into cloth. We also call upon the Norns in this charm, the goddesses who weave all Wyrd. This charm is good to sing, one line at a time, as the shuttle goes through and the beater bangs against the weft.

As I weave you,

So I wish health,

So I wish wealth,

So I wish joy,

In the holy name

Of wise Dame Holda.

As I weave you,

So I will health,

So I will wealth,

So I will joy,

In the holy name

Of wise Dame Holda.

Hail to Urd,

Hail to Skuld,

Hail to Verdandi that weaves us all.
