If you would go out to hunt and bring
home game to eat, first take your weapon and go out to the woods, or the tall
grass, and kneel for Ullr. Say the following prayer:
Hunter through the snows of Asgard,
Then rise, take a few steps, and then turn back for the moment and trace the rune Algiz in you’re your footprints. Place your feet again in the footprints and keep walking. After you come home with your kill, give a piece of the heart, a piece of the liver, and a piece of the flesh to Ullr as an offering.
Hunter through the snows of Asgard,
May I take the perfect target.
Hunter through the fields of Vanaheim,
Guide my gift of flying death.
Hunter through the wood of Alfheim,
Drop them swift and sweetly gone.
Hunter through the mountains of
Jotunheim,
May prey never scream and never suffer.
Hunter through the Worlds
Upward on the
Tree,
See me safe to home and hearthstone,
To feed those waiting there for me.
Hold up your weapon and say,
Straight and strong may they all fly,
And find their mark in many hearts.
Then rise, take a few steps, and then turn back for the moment and trace the rune Algiz in you’re your footprints. Place your feet again in the footprints and keep walking. After you come home with your kill, give a piece of the heart, a piece of the liver, and a piece of the flesh to Ullr as an offering.
