Alright, I'm very excited to share what I believe is the last, working shape of the "All-Father" bede for the Heathen Rosary undertaking. Y'all's comments really helped me make the last few tweaks I needed, so thanks very much for that.

What's most exciting is that I now have all of the main bedes for the Heathen Rosary, so I can start saying it and seeing how that goes. I'm still on the fence about whether to write one or two closing prayers (as you find in today's version of the Catholic Rosary), and I still need to work out the "mysteries" (I'm leaning toward calling them "riddles") for bethinking while saying the bedes, but this is a big step closer to having a workable daily practice.

As always, your thoughts are most welcome.

I'm trying to work out a prayer to Woden for the Heathen Rosary, but I've been stuck on it for a long time. I reckon it's time to start writing some actual drafts, though, so my first stab is the Three Drinks Prayer.

I've posted what I hope is the settled shape for the "Hail Idun" in my Heathen Rosary project. As always, comments here or emails on the post are welcome!
