Graphic with the full text of A HEATHEN'S BREASTPLATE: I arise today Heir to the strength of Asgard; Light of the sun, Splendor of fire, Swiftness of wind, Depth of the sea, Stability of earth, Firmness of rock. I arise today with mine own strength to pilot me; Thor's might to uphold me, Frigga's wisdom to guide me, Odin's hand to guard me, Heimdall's watch to shield me, Freyr's vitality to sustain me, And Freya's love to bless me. Afar and anear, Alone or in a multitude. The ancestors are with me, before me, behind me, on my right, on my left. As sure as The Earth beneath me, The Sky above me, The Holy Powers within me. I arise today Rooted in the mighty traditions of my past. And I walk Midgard, Sending forth the blessings of this day's deeds to generations yet unborn. ©2008 and 2010, BSW
