Einherjar Day,
Minor modern Asatru festival honoring the warriors who fell during battle and who asceded to Valhalla's halls.
At this time of the year, it seems that much of nature's manifestation have died and returned their physical essence back from whence they came- The Mother Earth. A strange month when the veil between what has been, what is, and what is to come seems thinner. Various festivals broadly to do with this are held at this time. It is a kind of yearly Ragnarok for nature- now will come cold and dark before the Ragnar Rise, the return and renewal of birth. Appropriately our thoughts are especially with our kinsfolk who have passed into other realms. We honor the warriors who fell defending the folk and the warrior spirit which is epitomized by the Einheriar- Odin's elite warrior company. While we wish for peace and freedom, we realize that at times this must be fought for and once won, defended. We are reminded that if are to endure, then we will at times need to sacrifice personal comfort and stand against that which is harmful to our folk and stand boldly though the foe may seem great. And we hail to the warriors of the past whose velour and sacrifice have ensured we are here today.
