Rituals are how we reach across the veil—to honor the gods, connect with the spirits, and strengthen our bonds with each other. Whether Norse or Hellenic, our rites are acts of hospitality, remembrance, and power.

In Norse Practice
Our Norse rituals follow in the footsteps of the old ways: gifting to the gods, gathering in community, and honoring the cycles of life and fate. We share sacred stories, raise horns in sumbel, and make offerings to gods, ancestors, and spirits at the fire.

We share stories from the Eddas, offer to the gods in sacred blóts, and raise our voices in sumbel, the ancient rite of toasting, boasting, and remembering. We bless new homes, name children, honor ancestors, and mark the turning of the year with rites like Þorrablót, Landvættablót, Sigrblót, and Jólablót. Goði Ryan holds space with strength and purpose—offering guidance, leading rituals, casting runes, and evoking the intercession of the gods on behalf of the Kindred.

We may offer mead, fire, or song. We may link arms in shield-wall or howl to the sky. There is no single way to be Heathen—only the call to honor with truth and strength.

And while there is no formal conversion, many of us mark our first offering as the moment we truly stepped onto this path. That first gift given freely is the beginning of a sacred bond.

In Hellenic & Chthonic Practice
In our Hellenic rites, we honor the gods of Olympus and the deep powers of the earth. Our offerings might go up in flame to Helios or down into the soil for Hekate and Persephone.

We observe festivals both ancient and new: the Panathenaea, Noumenia, Thargelia, and rites at the Summer and Winter Solstices. Nicole, our resident Priestess, has guided us through libations, fire rites, invocations, and meditations that honor both light and shadow.

Chthonic rites remind us that all things grow in darkness before rising to the sun. Offerings of garlic, incense, or black wine may be given to the underworld gods. We also hold space for ecstatic devotion, for mystery, and for grief transformed into power.

What Counts as Devotion?
Not every act of worship looks like ritual. Devotion might be running in Hermes’ name. Planting sunflowers for Apollo. Cooking for others as an offering to Frigg or Demeter. Feeding the hungry for Hestia. Holding vigil under the stars for Mani.

These are devotional acts—done with intention, reverence, and the gods in your heart. Whether in the hall or the home, they are sacred.

You don’t need perfect pronunciation or a deep library of myth to belong here. You need only a willing heart, a strong voice, and a desire to stand with us as we honor the gods and build something worthy together.
