Njordr was an incredibly popular god historically but I don’t see a lot of heathens talk about him now.

I think it’s probably because he isn’t described as a warrior like Thor, Odin, or even Freyja.

Anyone else have any theories?

Personal ideas for simple devotional acts to Njörðr

Let us all praise the Lord of Ships, the Vanir King. He is the bestower of wealth and the guardian of seas, and his gifts are many! If you’re looking to start working with Njörðr, or worshipping him, these ideas make for quick and simple gestures that showcase your interest. They’re also perfect for a pagan who already maintains a close relationship with the sea, water spirits, or a sea deity. After all, spiritual practice gets hard to sustain when you’re working on a tight schedule! Which is why I hope these little personal ideas can inspire even those of you who already actively worship/work with Njörðr.

First things first: pondering on what Njörðr stands for, what you think he can bring your life and what you think he would appreciate in return.

Going for walks on windy days. Njörðr is said to raise winds that are favorable to sailboats!

Cooking and eating sea products, especially if you can find them fresh! I usually keep an eye out for fishermen’s markets. It’s a good idea to buy locally if the opportunity presents itself. The most important thing is to make sure you’re buying from sustainable fish farming companies, especially if you’re at a restaurant or buying from a grocery store.

Putting the sound of waves as background music before sleep. You can visualize the sea, or the ocean, and use this image to connect with Njörðr either by simply meditating on him and his gifts, or even by praying to him.

If possible, spending time near bodies of water: water is a network which connects the land to the ocean. In the end, all rivers, no matter how small, are bound to the ocean.

Watching documentaries on the sea, or on marine life! The simple gesture of learning about his domain, developing your understanding of it, can make you feel that much closer to the Father of Light-Bringers.

Whenever you’re at a local beach, collecting seashells or rocks which catch your eye! They’re a way to bring a piece of the sea home with you!

Since I cook a lot, there’s this little habit I’ve come to develop, of adding a pinch of sea salt (or fleur de sel) to every recipe. Of course, I won’t do this if I’m cooking a simple sandwich for myself: I’m talking about large pots of soup, meat pies, stews, etc. It’s a way of reminding myself that the Vanir bring about the fertility which allows us sustain ourselves.

Learning sea shanties!!! Did you smile? That’s because sea shanties are fun, and what better way to honor a God than by having fun in their name! One of my favorite songs ever is a folk ballad about an old woman who begs her husband to leave the city and go back to the island where they used to live, where she could watch the seagulls and where he would fish their dinner. Songs such as these can make for beautiful and deeply personal offerings. Once you’ve learned a fisherman’s song, you’ll find yourself humming it in your day-to-day, and thinking of Njörðr as you’re doing so.

Making offerings of coin to him. I’ve heard that he was particularly fond of the coin-shaped chocolates that are wrapped in gold foil! Generally, anything that is made of gold or silver makes for a beautiful offering to him. You can, of course, keep such objects after offering them! The act of sharing them with Njörðr is symbolic, as are many offerings, and you are as entitled to keeping these valuables as you are to drinking offering alcohol after the ritual is done. Placing your silver/gold object on a windowsill or an altar for a day, a week or a month is enough to act as an offering.

When it comes to the Vanir, you usually can’t go wrong with buying local products! What does your area specialize in, in terms of food? Now that summer’s at our door, we’ve reached the perfect time to look into local farmer’s markets. If, like me, you’re in the habit of offering alcohol to some or most of your deities, local draft beer is a great idea for Njörðr. In my area, grocery shops sometimes sell this one beer that’s made using salt water! It’s my go-to for Njörðr, understandably.

Acting generously, taking opportunities to share with others! It’s a way of honoring and embodying the Vanir King’s own benevolence.

As a follow-up, working on your ability to be compassionate: putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes, forgiving a wrong that has been done to you, finding compromise during a conflict with loved ones... If you are put in a position of leadership, lead others with care and attentiveness. Njörðr’s mythological son Freyr is heavily associated with peace. By protecting peace, you are honoring them both.

Keeping a symbol of his on you as an amulet: representations of fish, anchors, lighthouses, ships, or anything else that symbolizes the sea all make for beautiful reminders of Njörðr’s presence. Especially if they are silver or gold-colored! In fact, a simple silver or gold coin, or even just a coin with special meaning in your heart, is the perfect amulet to keep in your wallet/purse in his honor.

Learning to tie knots, or any other simple skill that is useful on a boat is fun and a great way to feel connected with the sea. This goes without saying but if you’ve got the chance to go for a boat ride, take it in his honor!

Asking him to grant you a safe journey before traveling long distances.

Art, Njörðr statue

Skadi: "You'll never find the body" is such a boring threat. A better threat would be, "You'll never stop finding the body." Freyja: Or just say, "They'll be finding parts of you for at least four months... and you'll still be alive for three of them." Skadi: Now that's a threat! Njord, covering Freyr's ears: *horrified silence*

In the gentle depths where waves caress,

Where sea meets land in a tender embrace,

I sing a hymn to Njörd, the God of Seas,

Whose presence fills the hearts with grace.

Njörd, oh harbinger of calm and tides,

Your tranquil spirit guides the ocean's sway,

With every ebb and flow, you softly guide,

Bringing solace and peace along the way.

Upon your vessel, the waves dance and play,

As you navigate through realms of azure blue,

Your steady hand steers ships on their pathway,

Ensuring safe passage for the seafarers true.

In mighty gales, when tempests fiercely roar,

You calm the storm, protecting those in need,

Your soothing voice whispers upon the shore,

Granting solace and comfort with utmost heed.

The bounty of the seas, a gift you share,

Abundant harvests brought forth by your hand,

From depths unknown, you nurture life with care,

Blessing all who dwell upon the golden sand.

Oh Njörd, benevolent guardian of the coast,

Your presence is felt in the salt-kissed air,

We offer our gratitude, a grateful host,

For your blessings and guidance beyond compare.

As gentle waves upon the shore doth break,

We honor you, oh deity of the sea,

May your essence forever dwell and wake,

A beacon of tranquility eternally.

So let us raise our voices in devotion,

To Njörd, the God of seas and calming might,

With reverence, we offer our emotion,

And bask in your grace, like stars in the night.

hello! i’ve been very diligently hammering out this one-shot/short-story and it is now 12k (so far edited) so i thought id share a little blurb, it should be posted sometime by next week at the latest! 🤞

“Baggins.” Kili said the name, scrunching his nose in distaste. “What ugly sod gave you that?”

The sound of cutlery and gnashing of mead quieted in the wake of Kili’s, otherwise obnoxious question. Hobbits being an incredibly private species, to ask of one’s family was often taken as romantic interest. Knowing better, he cleared his throat before speaking.

“My father,” Bilbo responded flatly, more annoyed by Kili’s pestering than the question itself. His parents had both been dead twenty some odd years, he was well acquainted with the old grief. “—And he was quite ugly in his old age. Not as ghastly or brutish as a Dwarf, we have a reputation to uphold you know!”

The company grumbled in slight offence. Those who listened. “What of your mother?”

Bilbo raised an eyebrow from where he sat at Belen’s large, stretching wooden table. The Hobbit did his best to hide his amusement. “Before she married my father she was a took.”

“A took.” Kili exchanged glances with who, Bilbo could not see. Though the interaction only served to widen the young Dwarf’s smirk. “What is that?”

“They are names,” He huffed. “My father was a Baggins and my mother a Took. Should you ever find yourself with your nose in a book instead of in the business of others, you might learn that names have reputation.” Kili’s expression stuttered, cheeks darkening with amused embarrassment as he grinned. Non Perturbed by the Hobbit’s insults.

“Took,” Kili emphasised his prononciation with flying spittle. “Hobbits are strange little things, next time we visit you’ll have to introduce us to her.” The Dwarrow brought his mead to his face, taking a long swallow that sloshed out the sides of his mouth and down his face.

“Oh, my mother passed long ago.” Bilbo said as casually as you might tell someone the weather. Twenty-some years now, he’d long since stopped counting to save himself the heartache of reminder.

Kili choked on his food, eyes blown wide as he searched across the table for another pair of eyes to glance into to share in his horror. Bilbo felt Thorin’s eyes, burning concerned holes into the side of his head but he brushed the look of sympathy in their eyes off.

“My mother enjoys painting.” Fili chimed in, muttering under his breath as though it was a soft topic for him. Bilbo appreciated his consideration, but felt a lance of embarrassment with the attention. “She also enjoys cooking until there is nothing left; makin’ sure we’re stuffed. She makes a good stew. Plays the harp real well.”

“Aye.” Gloin hummed in agreement. “My Gimli loves it!”

Bilbo felt any and all prior grievances with the pair of brothers melt away from him. They were good boys, sons. Inwardly, The Hobbit swore that he would see them back to their mother at all costs.

“She sounds lovely.” He met Fili’s gaze; as intense and deep as his Uncle’s. Softer though, as he ducked his head in quiet appreciation.

When his gaze flickered to Thorin at the head of the table, he was pleasantly surprised to find The Dwarf looking back at him. His blue eyes softened for a moment before they flitted away again.

#the hobbit #bagginshield #writing #njordr #brain go brrr #thorin would definitely glare at kili for this while Fili is like bruh facepalm #Bilbo takes it in stride of course #blurbs #lotr #Bilbo Baggins #kili the hobbit #Fili #fili and kili #thorin oakenshield #the company

How I write Njörðr's name 🎣

Requested by @themidgardwyrdo

ᚾᛦ(From the Medieval Futhork because I really wanted the trident shape and figured I could get away with it phonetically :D.)ᛟᚱᛐ (Extended a little higher on the R in case a ᚦ is wanted.) For this one I was inspired by shapes made when fishing. An upright harpoon, a line being cast and a net unfurling in the water. I also like how it turned out looking like a currency symbol that would be used in his realm.

Othala makes a good fish shape, like here in one of the ways I Loki's name where it's used like a salmon and part of the neurodivergent infinity symbol.

If you use, please tag me...I wanna see~

Buy me a coffee

Commission yer own bindrune/sigil

Draw this bindrune with me

Deity Name Requests:

Njörðr

Freyr

Ràn

Ægir

The promised altar pictures! While it mostly centers Njordr, he isn’t the only one I approach/give offerings here. I think of it as my general place to go to connect with deities/spirits and I just happen to connect with Njordr more often so he gets the fun stuff.

Questions about altars are welcome!

With Njord being literally the kindest deity I've had the chance to interact with and easily being one of my favorites. I don't think there could've been a better time for me to find out that the costs to buy and maintain a sailboat is surprisingly cheap and learning to operate one is even easier.

A beautiful Nautical necklace made with real Abalone beads. This Sea Horse Necklace is inspired by the Greek God Poseidon. Perfect sea witch jewelry, a perfect ocean core necklace to add to your collection or to start it.

This piece is long enough to slip over your head, no clasp needed but I can add one if you want, please message me right after purchase or leave it in notes.

While support my small business you also support other small businesses which I buy from. This includes a local Native American bead vendor and an elder mom and pops shop. Thank you so much for choosing my designs.
