Landvaettir Bede
Hail Unseen Ones respect I give
Earth Spirits dark Sky Spirits bright
Our Bond in Wyrd is old and strong
By Land and Blood by Troth and Faith
I am come here Blot Stone to stain
A Holy Stead I wish to share
This place is yours where altar stands
Before I start your let I ask
On Hallowed ground for Sacral Time
This drink I pour in grateful thanks
My purpose set your fee I give
To ward this glade and worship watch
When I am done I'll not forget
This Bond I called twixt you and
For health of Land and Wealth of Folk
I'll work each day my Word of Oath
