In order to make an offering to Eir for the sick or wounded person in your life, first pour yourself a horn (or glass) of mead or other beverage and say:
“Eir, goddess of healing, hail!
Goddess of mercy, hail!
Handmaiden of Frigga, hail!
Odin’s Valkyrie and she who is considered the best leech, hail!”
Drink some of the mead or beverage and pour some out into the bowl for Eir so that you may help her through this offering to help heal the person who needs it. Light the candle and say:
“Physician of the Gods, the Merciful One.
I ask you to speed medical healing, to speed the recovery of a person you overlooked be born—(insert the name of the person here).
I ask you to inspire the doctors to do no harm, and to do well in treating the one whom I pray for.
Inspire the doctors to have mercy, as you have mercy.
Their loved ones need your help, magic, skill, and healing.
Inspire (Name of person) whom I pray for to be patient and hopeful.
Hail Eir, Greatest Physician!”
Order or cook yourself a special meal. Give some of your food and drink to Eir with the thought of giving her the strength and energy she needs to heal, not just the person you performed this personal blot for, but all those others who need her gift.
Throughout the meal, think of it must require of her to heal others who need her blessings, to be a handmaiden to Frigga and devoted to healing. Pour some more mead or other beverage in a final simple thank you to Eir outside to a tree or a personal outside altar if you can and say:
“Spirits of the sky and the plentiful earth, spirits of running water and plants of field, forest, mountain, and ocean, ancestors of old and to the gods and goddesses: Accept this offering, my gift unto you.”
This is something I will be doing on myself, because I am feeling very helpless and hopeless as I try to make these doctors understand that what is going on with me is more than anxiety.
NinjaKyo – Whether it is clear to you or not, you have been heard. Keep your ever loving thoughts for the AlFather and Frigga and BE STRONG but bendable like the Willow, be strong like the mighty OAK and stay upon the path, no matter how much it hurts. – I hope life finds you well! – if not? FIGHT LIKE ODIN! – suffer, and be renewed! – HAIL ODIN – HAIL FRIGGA!
I found this after almost exactly a year of looking for help. April 3rd 2021 it started and I was brushed off as having anxiety. One year later I still have intense chest pressure amongst other things. So hear I am. Hope you’ve remedied yours.
I am going to be doing this for my pregnant wife she has been having some complications with the pregnancy with possible placenta abruption. Should I also include my unborn daughter’s name as well or just my wife’s name?
I’d personally say both, but look into your heart and change the prayer as you feel would help the situation—looking after your wife and her health as well as your daughter so she may benefit from Eir’s blessings. May She look after them both.
