tovalholl:

Hail to the mighty sleipnir! He, son of giants! Who will go into the battle with Woden at ragnarok, the Horse that which carries the greatest warriors to valhalla! May I and the rest of my warrior brothers, earn their way to valhalla, either by Valkyries, or by Sleipnir! May sleipnir bring you all home. 

Just in time for Yule feasting, my own vintage of red-raspberry honey wine. That’s mead, or melomel to be technical. It turned out rather drier than I expected, but has a nice finish that leaves you wanting more (if I do say so myself.) I call it a success for my first attempt at home brewing.

Praise be to the All-Father. (And my respects to Loki, Fire-Bringer.) But for her beauty and her grace I have named the mead Freyja in her honor.
