Hela's Day Colors: Black and White Elements: Earth and Air Altar: Upon black cloth to the right place four black candles, a skull, bones, a pot of earth, a pile of withered leaves, and a gravestone. Upon white cloth to the left place four white candles, incense, an ivory chalice of mead, a crystal sphere, and a bunch of dried roses. Veil the windows. Offerings: Blood. Pain. Difficulty. Toil. An arduous task that will take all you have to give, and will benefit the generations yet to come. Daily Meal: Meat stew and bread. Invocation to Hela Hail to Hel Queen of Helheim Wisest of Wights Keeper of Secrets Keeper of the hopes for tomorrow Guardian of Souls Implacable one of the frozen realm Half the face of beauty Half the face of Death. You who feed the dead At your meager table Where everyone gets their fair share, You who care not About wealth or status, About fame or fortune, Who cares for the peasant Equally with the ruler, Teach us that Death is the great leveller And that we need have no pride When we reach your halls. Lady who takes away Yet holds always promise, Teach us to praise loss and death And the passing of all things, For from this flux We know your blessings flow. (Blow out the candles, bow to the altar, and pour out the libation of mead. The roses should be placed outside to rot in the garden.)
