What a perfect day! Really! A PERFECT DAY!
Not only was the weather perfect - blue skies, warm and gorgeous (*) - but ALL the strong and true men, women and kids of BogaTyr Sippe were together! (* It was chilly and windy on Saturday, rain and thunder this morning, Easter day was perfect weather!) Getting us all together only happens about four times a year .. so our Easter / L&L celebration was all the more blessed for all our families!
And the food! Wow .. perfect German potato salad .. perfect German apple cake .. perfect PRIME RIB! Then there were Russian springtime gulumki, an Irish pear salad, pork loin, an awesome and colorful salad with fresh cracked pepper, loads of dark rye bread and German beer, the last of the Apple-Date mead, great wines, cheese and crackers! All laid out on a table graced with a lovely Easter Tree made from birch!
The faining was lovely, down in the harrow - a natural circle of trees. At one point, one of the dogs bayed like a wolf and shortly thereafter, a mating pair of red-tailed hawks circled overhead. Also during the faining .. a woman of Donar-Thor blessed our fire and horgr .. a wisewoman gifted Earth with a blood red egg and an Easter egg .. a maiden placed the sacred wreath upon the harrow .. and the worthy men of BogaTyr spoke aloud their strong blessings for our kindred.
It was a very good day!
The egg hunt was lots of fun. Everyone - BogaTyr and our guests - hunting wooden runic eggs .. each one with a special Easter blessing.
Fun, feasting, folk and family! With 20 folk there .. it was a blessed day for all, to include our ancestors, our ruling powers and the wights!
Hail the Joy of Easter's Day!
Hail the Georgia Heathens!
Hail the True Folk of BogaTyr Sippe!
Hail Heimat Hof!
Live Deliberately!

Yngona Desmond is a Völva and Seiðu, a spiritual traveler and sacred pilgrim, visiting and honoring sacred sites across continental Europe, Scandinavia, and Russia. She has spent extensive time in Germany and Spain, Ireland, Wales and Italy, and is newly returned from a seven-week visit with Sámi shamans in Finland.
Her focus is to reclaim Seiðr as European Shamanism, to enliven regional Ley-lines and realign ancient stones, to assist local Guardians with energy clean up, and reconnect in a non-invasive manner with primal and ancestral energies. At all times, she lives intimately in the flow of those deep and mystical currents that course across our planet.
Unwaveringly, she lives in many realms simultaneously. Having never been Christian, her worldview is unique in that she brings a deeply rooted connectedness and profound sense of understanding to the seemingly impenetrable depths of Heathen mysticism and Seiðr philosophy.
