Ttir Archives - Sit Now at Sumbel. Volume 1, Number 6Sit Now at Sumbel The sumbel (sumbl in Old Norse) is a solemn ritual in which the participants sit together and participate in drinking, speech-making and gift-giving, in many ways similar to the toast in a very formal dinner today.
The Basics of Sumbel. A Sumbel is a formal drinking ritual composed of toasting, hails, oath-taking, the recitation of poetry or song, and other forms of verbal expression.
The Sumbel is composed of rounds, in which the horn is passed in a circle, each person saying their hail or other appropriate verbal expression, drinking, and passing the horn along. The purpose of the Sumbel is great; words spoken at Sumbel have a great power to them imbued by the nature of the holy rite. Oath-taking is a common part of Sumbel, as it is considered to be especially meaningful and especially binding to take an oath before the gods and the community during this rite.
This rite not only connects us wit the gods and goddesses, but with our ancestors, our community, and to a degree with ourselves. Here we may express ourselves in a holy forum, allowing us to define our place in the community as well as honor the gods and goddesses. A typical Sumbel can be broken up into four parts. Symbel. By Arlea Hunt-Anschütz One of the most fundamental heathen rituals is a drinking ceremony generally known as symbel (pronounced 'SUM-bell').
The word means 'feast', but within modern heathenry has come to refer to a particular activity that would generally take place at any Germanic feast-- the drinking of the memory cup. This sort of ceremony is well documented in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and German sources. For example, we find the following description in The Saga of Hakon the Good: The sacrificial beaker was to be borne around the fire, and he who made the feast, and was chieftain, was to bless the beaker as well as all the sacrificial meat. Symbel can take place sitting round a table during a feast, standing by an altar during a heathen ritual, relaxing round a hearth fire, or in various other circumstances. Within our heathen group, most of the rounds of symbel tend to be devoted to toasting gods, ancestors, and friends. People can also brag in symbel.

Anonymous asked: Hi there!
I'm no pagan but I do like to learn about other religious views besides from mine (Christianity). My question is how do you feel about Christians? Most of the people I ask would tell me that they hate it with a passion and that they'd love to annihilate most of us. Also, how do you feel about some of the Neo-nazi pagans?
