Blessing:
Lord Ing,
provider of peace and plenty,
We ask your blessing upon these seeds of spring,
our hopes and our wishes for a good summer,
our desire for a fruitful fall.
Fro Ing, generous Frodhi,
bless these seeds so that your people may prosper!
O, Freya, fairest to behold,
golden glory of the radiant sun,
We ask your blessing upon this living water,
our dreams of spring nights sweet-scented,
our longing for harvest’s heat at summer’s height.
Fair Freya, first mistress,
bless this water so that your folk may be fulfilled!
Sacrifice:
From water comes the rain,
from rain comes the garden,
from the garden grows the tree,
from the tree falls the seed,
and in the seed lies hidden
the water in the rain.
