Asatru Children’s ABC’s

Alright here is some ABC's to teach your children and help them learn about the gods. This has not historical founding but it reminded me of the the rune poems. It seemed like a good idea for heathens living in the modern world.

 A is for Asgard, where the Gods spend their day. 
B is for Bifrost, between the worlds it lay. 
C is for Courage, the strength to overcome fear. 
D is for Day, she follows Night throughout the year. 
E is for Embla, the mother of us all. 
F is for Freyja, chooser of those who fall. 
G is for Gungnir, from its course it never strays. 
H is for Heimdall, his horn, Gjallar, he plays. 
I is for Iduna, keeper of the apples of gold. 
J is for Jormungand, around the earth, his tail he holds. 
K is for Kvasir, from his blood came inspiration. 
L is for Lore, the stories for our edification. 
M is for Mjollnir, Jotuns it smites. 
N is for the Norns, the Wyrd they write. 
O is for Odin, he, who Fenrir shall fight. 
P is for Protection, given by Thor’s great might. 
Q is for Question, for knowledge to gain. 
R is for Ragnarok, when all begins again. 
 S is for Sigurd, the slayer of the dragon. 
T is for Thor, thundering in his wagon. 
 U is for Ullr, by whom the hunt is blessed. 
V is for the Vanir, by whom nature is dressed. 
W is for Wyrd, the web that connects all things. 
X is for Xenodochy and the Luck it brings.  
*(xenodochy = hospitality… you try thinking of an Asatru related word that begins with ‘X’ 
 Y is for Yggdrasil, where Odinn hung alone. 
Z is for Zisa, by whom peace is sown.
