When all have entered:

Priest:
"Welcome all who have come to keep the Old Ways. We are here to honor the Gods, to keep the feast of Yule. This midnight upon the Mother night we gather together as in the nights of yore. To greet the sun at her lowest stead. And to honor all the gods and goddesses who live in Asgard, and all our own forebears who dwell in the halls of Harr and Hel. We call upon them to make ripe their might and mane in our lives. Call upon them all the holy gathering living as a whole as is Odins Law."

Priestess:
"Hallowed Woman of the Earth
We give this gift to you
Frau Holda, riding forth this season,
Look kindly on our work,
Berchta, beldame of the wheel,
Spin us good wyrd tonight
O Mighty Mother of us all."

Priest makes an invocation to Odin:
"Odin the One-Eyed / Rune-lord of Wisdom
Hear as we hail you / Honor our working.
Waken our souls / Quicken our minds
Let skald-speech be in us / By your Blessing, Odin."

Priestess:
"Tir we stay true to the forever
Balder, thy brightness and boldness guide us
Frigg, thy fruit and wisdom keep us all
Idunna, thy apples strengthen our souls
Thor, thy thunder wards our stead
Freya, we get freedom from thy frolic
Frey, from thee we get a harvest of frith
Loki, thy mirth makes us merry."

Pour milk in bowl, take bowl of cookies. Hold both up.

Priest:
"Hear me all you wights unhallowed,
Etins, trolls and all the Out-garth,
Ravers, enemies of Asgard,
Here we give you proper honor.
Take this gift, here freely given,
Trouble not our holy working,
For our circle will be well-warded,
By Thor's mighty hammer."

Place both bowls outside of the circle by the stream.

Priestess goes to the four quarters and makes the Hammer sign, saying:

"Hammer in the North, hallow and hold this holy stead.

Hammer in the East, hallow and hold this holy stead.

Hammer in the South, hallow and hold this holy stead.

Hammer in the West, hallow and hold this holy stead."

Then goes to the center and makes the sign overhead saying:

"Hammer above us, hallow and hold this holy stead."

And then toward the ground, saying:

"Hammer below us, hallow and hold this holy stead."

Priest:
"Warder of Asgard, / Heimdall we hail you,
Keen-eared and sharp-eyed, / biding on Bïfrost,
Gjallerhorn's holder / to you we call,
Son of Nine Mothers, / by Fire and by Water
Watch us and ward us, / we work the Old Ways,
Aid us now, royal one, / hold open the gates!"

Priestess:
"Now we bid Bïfrost / be here among us
Descend from dwelling / of Gods, bright Asgard
A rainbow of light / from all ways flowing
Carry our calling / to all the Aesir
By Nine Flames shining, / By Waters flowing
By Heimdall's magic / Gates now be open!"

Priest fills horn & goblet with cider or beer, holds them up, then begins passing them around the circle, saying:
"To all who dwell in this land, families of trees, and birds, and four-legged beasts, of herbs and lakes and streams, of snakes and lizards, and crawling things, of alfs and dwarfs and spirits of the land, this night we honor you. Landvetter, accept our offering."

Priest:
"Alfar we honor / Great men and Fathers,
Who in their highday / Heros were reckoned."

Priestess:
"Likewise the Disir / Great and good women
Mothers, grandmothers, / Peace-weavers, wise ones
Ancestors aid us / Hear as we hail you
Drink we this draught now / In honor and love"

The Horn is passed around the circle. When it returns to the harrow the remnant is poured on the ground by the Holly tree.

Priestess:
"Hail to the Alfs, all ringed round us, the Fathers of the folk.
Hail to the Dises, all ringed round us, the Mothers of our might.
Hail to our kin, in the hidden lands, Hail the ancestors on this holy Yule!"

Priest reads The Descent to Darkness:
"Sunna sinks down / into the dark sea,
Wolf and wind howl / outside the walls
Now winter shakes out / her snowy bed
Now are life-fires / hid in yew-night
Odin's grey steed / leads ghosts on the wind
Trolls fare from cliff-halls / the etins are risen
Well are we warded / who watch this night
By Fire and Water / by Thor's great strength."

Priestess reads:
"Now Sunna stands / in her lowest stead
Lost is all light / sleeping all life
The frost-cold wights / hold icy rule
We hail the might / That howls now from the north
Odin, from Yew-Dales / at Yuletide haring
Shield-God, ward us / with thy strong bow
Skadi the Giantess / skis from the north
Huntress, give us / your holy rede
Freya's might hold us / here in our hall
Golden Frey's might / hold us in frith
All of ye Gods / and Goddesses high
From darkness we hail you / from dragon-deep root
Lead us through darkness / through all dire dooms."

Priest:
"These verses are from the Havamal, the word of the High One."

"Young and alone on a long road,
Once I lost my way;
Rich I felt when I found another,
Man rejoices in man.

A kind word need not cost much,
The price of praise can be cheap;
With half a loaf and an empty cup,
I found myself a friend.

The coward believes he will live forever
If he holds back in battle,
But in old age he shall have no peace
Though spears have spared his limbs.

A wayfarer should not walk unarmed
But have his weapons to hand:
He knows not when he may need a spear,
Or what menace meet on the road.

A man should be loyal through life to friends,
And return gift for gift.
Laugh when they laugh,
But with lies repay
A false foe who lies.

If you find a friend you fully trust
And wish for his good-will,
exchange thoughts,
exchange gifts,
Go often to his house.

To a false friend the footpath winds
Though his house be on the highway.
To a sure friend there is a shortcut,
Though he live a long way off.

If you know a friend you can fully trust,
Go often to his house.
Grass and brambles grow quickly
Upon the untrodden track.

With a good man it is good to talk,
Make him your fast friend:
But waste no words on a witless oaf,
Nor sit with a senseless ape.

Cherish those near you, never be
The first to break with a friend;
Care eats him who can no longer
Open his heart to another.

An evil man, if you make him your friend,
Will give you evil for good:
A good man, if you make him your friend
Will praise you in every place.

Affection is mutual when men can open
All their heart to each other,
He whose words are always fair
Is untrue and not to be trusted.

Mock not the traveler met on the road,
Nor maliciously laugh at the guest:
Scoff not a guest nor to the gate chase them,
But relieve the lonely and wretched.

The sitters in the hall seldom know
The kin of a new-comer;
The best man is marred by faults,
The worst is not without worth.

Cattle die, kindred die,
All things must die
I know one thing which never dies,
The reputation of each dead man.

The wise one has spoken words in the hall,
Needful for men to know,
Unneedful for trolls to know.

Hail to the speaker,
Hail to the knower,
Joy to him who has understood,
Delight to those who have listened."

Priestess:
"By Aesir and Alfar / And Dises mighty
By Thunar's strong striking / And Freya's Hearth-fire
We seek the shining / Of Yule-morning's magic
Sunna we call you / Come forth from the night
Bear to us blessing / Of spring and then summer
Shine on our land / In our homes, in our hearts
Increase and bounty / Be ours and our kindred's
Rising light, welcome / we hail your returning."

The chalice of water is lifted and the Hammer sign is made over it.

Priest:
"Now let the weal-might / Of Woden and Frigga
Of Frey and of Freya / Of Tir and all Aesir
Of Alfar and Disir / And all goodly wights
Shine in this Blessing / We pray as your people
Hallow these Waters / O mighty and shining
Offering we've given / Pray gift us in turn
Behold the Waters of Life!"

Priestess:
"Now by the might of Frey and Freya, by the blessing of all the Aesir, may the rising light of the Sun be in our hearts as it is in the world. May our strength grow with it, from good to good and gain to gain, throughout the turning year. All hail the reborn Sun!"

All:
"All hail the Reborn Sun!"
