Prayers to Hel for a Beloved Person

Prayer for a Beloved Dead
”Hel, you are the goddess who looks after our beloved dead
Ruler of Helheim and dweller within Éljúðnir
You are known to take in those who have died of natural causes
I ask you to look after and take care of my ancestors
I ask you that you treat them as if they were Baldr
Take care of them as if they were an honored guest
I make this offering to you in request for your kindness
For your generosity and benevolence towards my ancestors
So they may know they are remembered, 
So they may know they are cherished,
And so that they may know that their stories go on.
As I honor you, may you treat them with honor!
Hail, Hel!”

Prayer for One Who Will Die Soon
Hel, you are the goddess who looks after our beloved dead
Ruler of Helheim and dweller within Éljúðnir
You are known to have a compassionate heart
For I have a beloved person who will be entering your realm soon
I ask you that you treat them as if they were Baldr
I ask you to look after and take care of them for they were truly loved
Take care of them as if they were an honored guest
I make this offering to you in request for your kindness
For your generosity and benevolence towards this person I care about so deeply
So that when they arrive in your hallowed halls,
So they may know they are remembered, 
So they may know they are cherished,
And so that they may know that their stories go on.
As I honor you, may you treat them with honor!
Hail, Hel!
