Boasting Ritual

[Ivy Artemisia]

For those of you who have participated in a boasting ritual, how did it go? I can't find an example by googling- help a sister out? :)

Sounds like a blot to me. Or check sumbel -- Rick is the authority on this.

Here you go--Rick is tied up making Runes for the upcoming Med Fair.

edited to add: I'm not a Heathen, I don't play one on TV. I just live with one. I can't help it rubbing off a bit.

For those of you who have participated in a boasting ritual, how did it go? It went just fine... :hehehehe:

Generally speaking, a sumbel has three rounds of toasts. During the first round, toasts are made to the Gods; second round, to the Heroes; third round to Ancestors. First round begins, each participant makes an appropriate toast, next round begins, etc. I've seen it done with the passing of one horn around (& a lot of refilling along the way :bigblue: ), & I've seen it done with each person having their own horn or cup. Don't know that one is better than the other.

The site Elise posted will do for starters... or try googling sumbel...
