Gerda

Themes: Light

Symbols: Fire, Flames, Runes

Scandinavian goddess of light

The fertility god Frey became infatuated with Gerd and unsuccessfully courted her until he won her over with a spell in runes.
To Do in honor: This is a good week to work on a form of divination that you are drawn to. If possible try and read as much as you can about runes. Runes are a wonderful form of divination and you will not be disappointed by what you discover by using them and incorporating them into your life. To invoke the presence of Gerda into your life, light candles every night (or day) and take some time to concentrate on the flame. Keep a note of your experiences while doing this. You will be amazed at what happens when you work with fire in this way. Share your experiences if you would like to!!
