Prayer to Odin and the Blessings of Ansuz

Odin, Wanderer, Wisdom-Keeper, You who speak in whispered breath, Guide my tongue with truth and honor, Fill my voice with runes of depth.

Ansuz sings upon the wind, A spark of thought, a gift of sight, The breath of gods, the poet’s fire, The sacred call in silent night.

By your will, the runes were wakened, Carved in stone and deep in soul, Let their wisdom shape my speaking, Let their power make me whole.

Father of words, of songs, of fate, Let my speech be clear and true, Open paths where silence lingers, Let divine breath carry through.

Hail Odin, wise and knowing, Hail Ansuz, voice of lore, May your wisdom walk beside me, Now and always, evermore.

Ansuz (ᚨ) -

is a rune commonly associated with Óðinn. Ansuz is often known as the “rune of the mouth,” symbolizing communication and the sacred expression of wisdom. The rune also represents authority and leadership, traits exemplified by Óðinn.

There is lots more to say about this specific rune but I’d love to hear what runes or symbols folks feel connected to, and why? Not just those in the Norse practices.

🌖Odin's Day

Odin is known as the All-Father, and is the god of death, magic and divination. Chief of the Æsir tribe and king of Asgard. Namesake for Wednesday. Believed to be the founder of old runes known as futhark makes Odin also seen as a poetic deity and god of wisdom.

Odin, or Óðinn in old norse, might be considered one of the most well-known gods. He is also one of the best when it comes to the magical art known as sejd, and is also known to surround himself with animals; the ravens Huginn and Muninn who act as his eyes in Midgard, the wolves Geri and Freki and the eight-legged horse Slepinir.

Ways to show your devotion: - Odin’s rune is Ansuz. Carve it onto a piece of wood while chanting a prayer in his name. Huginn and Muninn will tell him of your deed. - Odin is the god of wisdom. Use your own well and he will be pleased. Read a book or learn something new. - Odin is believed to be the founder of the old futhark and is the god of divination. Use this Wednesday to read the runes for yourself or for someone else to show your devotion. - Ward your home with his rune, or with runes from the old futhark. Like before Huginn and Munnin will tell him of your deed.

Disclaimer: This is my way of showing devotion and my beliefs of the old northern gods. They might not work for everyone, but you are welcome to try them if you want to.
