Web of Wyrd Creed
I honor the Nornir, great weavers of fate,
who have spun my destiny since before my first breath.
I believe in Urd, who weaves the threads behind me,
in Verdandi, who walks with me in the present,
and in Skuld, who shapes the path that lies ahead.
I believe in the turning Wheel of Life—
ever-moving, ever-changing.
I accept what I cannot alter,
and I trust in my courage and will
to change what I can.
These truths are my guide—
through uncertainty, through trial,
and in the stillness of reflection.
So let it be.
All-Father
All-Father Odin, the pursuer of wisdom
Who hung on a tree,
sacrificed himself to himself,
and gave us the runes.
I also seek wisdom.
Help me in my pursuit of knowledge,
And may wisdom be the sandals upon my feet.
So let it be.

Hail Odin
Hail, Odin, O wise king.
Walk with me in my coming and going,
that I may be shielded from misfortune.
Hail to thee, ruler of Asgard.
May I live long and well,
And may my days be filled
with joy and cheer.
So let it be.
Alternative Hail Odin for Military
Hail, Odin, wise and watchful King,
Walk with me through shadow and storm,
That I may be shielded from misfortune and fear.
Hail to thee, high Lord of Asgard,
Grant me strength to live with honor,
And courage to face each day with purpose.
Should I fall upon the field or far from home,
May the Valkyrie carry me to the halls of Valhalla,
Where I shall feast among the brave and the bold.
So let it be.
