There are not many good prayers for Baldr on the internet. Many assume he is a sun god, which is something I respectfully disagree with. If you wish to pray to the god of the bale fire on tonight's full moon, you can use some variant of this template prayer I have made.
PHOL! PHOL! PHOL!
Son of Odin,
Frigg’s proudest boast,
Wisest Oss, and most eloquent,
Who's fair white face is famed,
Hear now this prayer!
You, Oh bright one, who dwelt in Breiðablik,
Are pure in every way, unstained by shame,
None may question your judgement,
Though now you, brave prince, from the curved crest,
Of calves’ kin’s skull, sip the water of the victory women,
In the hall of the barrow’s warder.
Pyre god! Höðr’s unintended victim!
Slain by a slender dart, Baldr’s bane, a young sprout
Felled you, oh bleeding god,
And caused all the world to weep!
Your wyrd, Oh famous and fair Oss, thus fixed,
You shall be by your youngest brother avenged,
And Vali’s foe shall join you, in gloomy Hel’s hall,
Until, Odin’s brave son, the prophecy of the Volva is fulfilled,
then you and your blind brother, to Asgard shall return!
May you soon be borne from Hel, oh brightest prince,
As swiftly as the sun of houses, reaches up to the moon’s way!
Accept now, oh Shining god of the wind’s brother,
The windless wave of the bull’s spear,
And relieve us of our need,
….(state needs and ask for help before offering libations at the fire)

The famous Viking Egill Skallagrimsson was gifted by Odin with a poetic skill that was evident by the time he was three years old when he composed his first public verses.
He was still a child when he composed the above prophetic verse for his Mother about his future as a Viking. It is the basis for the 'my mother told me' Viking song.
This art of Egill was created by Ryan Murray for my coming film about the heroes of the Icelandic sagas.

While I was filming “Sagas of the Raven Land” my colleague Matt of North Hugr was making his own film called Lost Gods. It’s truly brilliant. It includes interviews with me and is a philosophical exploration of the problem of disenchantment in the West, with a focus on Icelandic and Norwegian nature to tell the tale.
Highly recommended viewing!

High words of praise from Mr Davis! Check out his new film on the The Folkton Drums as well!
Forwarded from Dan Davis Author
This video is like a high budget TV history / travelogue documentary, with a fabulous script and narration, and extraordinary footage, it's amazing that people can fund and produce something like this independently and put it on YouTube. This could go on any TV channel as is.
Anyway, check it out.

The Folkton Drums
These three carved chalk cylinders were found placed behind the head and hips of a child's skeleton in a round barrow (burial mound).
The elaborate designs are similar to the decoration on some Late Neolithic and Beaker pottery, as well as with the engraved patterns on Early Bronze Age sheet goldwork. The 'drums' are unique, and their use unknown.
Later Neolithic/Copper Age, about 2500-2000 BC
Folkton, North Yorkshire, England

Paganism vs. Christianity! W/ Survive the Jive aka Tom Rowsell
Had a pleasant sit down with Tom Roswell, aka Survive the Jive, during our travels in Iceland for an interesting conversation about Paganism, Christianity and why people in our modern era are drawn toward traditional expressions of religion.
