Hallowing the Waters

[gullindagan]

 

“May Þórr protect him with that hammer which came from out of the sea. Flee from evilness!” The Kvinneby Amulet (from the Scandinavian Runic-text Data Base )

 

 

 

This is another simple practice, that should be started as soon as possible. Each day, take a small glass of water, trace the Sign of the Hammer ( 0-| ) in brilliant white over it, then imagine pure white light descending from above into the water and filling the water with brilliant, shining white light, while intoning THOR (or THUNAR, depending on your track.) Then, lift the water to your lips, and drink. I like to do this first thing in the morning, with hot (but not boiling) water. I recommend doing it that way, but do it however best it fits into your life.

 

The hammer of our thunder god is a powerful weapon to destroy dangerous trolls and giants, those who wish the human-world harm, but it is also a tool of blessing and purification. When we hallow the waters, we invoke the power of Thor to bless and purify this most important substance of life. Remember, our bodies consist of up tp 75% water, and this exercise helps us develop our visualization powers while also imbuing a necessary, every-day substance with divine power.
