Wes hal dear friend
Do come close here
To warm your bones
And quench your fear
You see this time
Is one of cold
To tell the tales
Our fathers told
A time of dark
Of snow and fog
A time of wights
Of elves and Gods
The dead doth wake
With winter’s rule
The kinsmen gather
To blot for yule

-The Chad Pastoralist-
Wes þū hāl and hygum gódum
(Hail to you and good thoughts)
Þunor þē þicge, Woden þē age
(Thor receive you, may Odin own you)
-Baerdcyn-
When Ereyule wanes
We kinsman gather
To fill our bowls
With blood to scatter
We feast on boar
Beside the fire
We drink our mead
And never tire
-Spife-
We weep and cheer
For death and glory
In groves once green
Now cold and hoary
When yule has come
Our lyres hum
And kinsmen sing
To beat of drum
-Mizerin-
The Timbers creak
A crackling tongue
The trees they speak
Both old and young
One equine gift
For father yule
One lord appointed
Of misrule
-Sunnatru-
We take this horse
And give libation
Which brings to close
This celebration
We boil meat
And drink our mead
We thank the Gods
With blood from steed

And now my friend
I bid you well
Now rest and fall
To winter’s spell
For you no longer
Dwell on earth
Your spirit rose
From spectral birth
And now my tale
Has come to end
So down and north
You must descend
