If you can make it through the first few minutes of this video, learning about the celebration from a disembodied head, the back half is the equinox celebration itself.
Set dramatically at sunset to sweeping music, it is mesmerizing. If you feel galvanized to try the ritual yourself, below is a list created by the video’s creator of what you’ll need. I’m glad they included a vegan option for the blood, because there was no specifics on where it should come from, unlike the animal bone also listed.
What You Need to Join
Blood (or crushes berries for a vegan option)
Bone of an animal (or a branch for a vegan option)
Seasonal fruits, vegetables, or other food
Antlers to call Froy
A fire
My husband and I are currently watching the Vikings series, which aired on the History Channel, I believe. There’s a lot of blood, but it’s been very interesting and entertaining!
