Forn Sed
Forn Sed is a traditional Norse ceremony that involves the honoring of ancestors and the spirits of the deceased. It is often performed during significant life events, such as births, marriages, or seasonal festivals. The ritual emphasizes the importance of family lineage and the connection between the living and the dead.
During Forn Sed ceremonies, participants may offer food, drink, or other gifts to their ancestors, seeking their blessings and guidance. The practice is rooted in ancient Norse beliefs and is part of a broader revival of Heathenry, which seeks to reconnect with pre-Christian traditions and spirituality.
