HAIL MYNN BRODERS OK MYNN SISTERS! Hail from the lands of Midgard and Hail from the Halls in Asgard!

Today is a most wonderful day for the Erulian and Asatru alike! Today is an auspicious day because of a double entendre within a double entendre. The word “thurs” in germanic culture refers to both the Jotuns (Giants and Chaotic forces of Legends) and Thor himself (for his mother was a Giant and he is the warder of the Gods and Men from those Giants). This being said: Today is THURSday, and today is our Holiday “Thursblot”. It may be a small thing of note, but for some reason it gives me pause to grin at irony.

The Thursblot is a sacrificial feast is held at the end of Hel’s Moon (December 27th – January 23rd) and is, for the Erulian, a powerful holiday indeed. While many other Asatru will raise a glass to Thor and his power today as to drive the Rime Thurs (frost giants) back from the land so that spring may return quickly, the Erulian understands the balance of the worlds. As stated before, we hold both Thurs and Aesir in our hearts, worshiping both with the respect that those powerful forces deserve.
For the Erulian today it is a reminder of respect to the Thurs, and to give sacrifices in respect of their awesome power. The Erulian respects change and knows that without such a force the world would grow stagnant. While the Aesir protect the laws and its people, the Thurs shove things in motion.
Today we raise a glass to both great powers.
