Pagan chants and their uses

Hello my fellow witches! I’m sorry for the long absence, I’ve been traveling. Although now that I’m back, I feel as happy as ever! So this new post is about chants. Chants are short sentences, or chains of words, that are said repeatedly, and are considered a kind of spell. They can also be used in songs or rituals. First of all, why use chants? Because they are short, simple and easy to remember. They also vary from a person to another, which makes it a way to practice your own magic, and make it unique and specific to yourself. Second of all, how to create a chant? Inventing one is almost as easy as using another person’s. The only thing you need is for it to be short, and repetitive. For example: • The names of all the gods you worship placed in a specific order; • A phrase that calms you down repeated over and over again; • A short call to a certain god; • A virtue you want to apply more; Etc…

Here are some of the chants I use, as a Norse Pagan:

“Skadi, Freya, Eir, Idunn, Sigyn, Frigga, Sjofn, Hel, Sif, Angrboda”

“Huggin, Munnin, see and hear, whisper all in Odin’s ear”

“My sword for Tyr, my blood for Thor, my heart for Freya, my life for Odin”

“Stand strong as Yggdrasil, powerful as fire, sensitive as water, wise as earth, and free as air”

Of course, most of these are related to norse gods and beliefs, but feel free to use them and bend them to your liking. I often chant them through a melody that is specific to each and every one of them, which really helps! I hope this short post helped you all to understand how a chant works, and how to create one. Blessed be, sisters!

This poetic prayer was inspired by the last ask I received. To be used in the event of the death of any loved one; The way I have written and intended for it to be used is so that the reciter can choose whether to recite it in full, partially, or even with just one of the stanzas - depending on specific circumstances and whatever feels most appropriate

To the anon that sent me four asks, sorry idk how to respond to all of them/ get all of them in one while on mobile rn. I’d recommend going through some of the self diagnosis stuff I’ve reblogged, there are quizzes and things. And for stims I’d recommend getting some stim toys or making some, fabric mazes, flour balloons, and bottle caps are all great stim toys that are pretty easy.
