The Calling

The following poem I wrote a very long time ago when I was still an Agnostic. I heard the whispers of the Gods and Goddesses but tried to deny them. Thank the Gods I failed !


The Calling



Father, please tell me who I am
I am confused and do not understand
Mother, please tell me where I belong
I feel lost and don't know where to go

Brother, help me, I do not hear your God
I feel so alone with no where to turn
Sister, help me, I hear whispering in my ears
The words are comforting, but I am afraid


Friend, help me, my soul is lost
I cannot see through my darkness
Stranger, direct me to my destination
For I cannot decide which way to go

Ancestors, hold out your hands to me
So I may discover our ancient ways
Freyja, calm the anger in my heart
So I may understand Your love


Odin, show me the light of Your wisdom
So I might understand Your words
Thor, protect me from my fears
give me the strength to join You 

- Glenn Bergen Winter, 1985

P.S. For those who are new to our religion and uncertain, and maybe even a little scared, I say, just open up your mind and your heart and let the Gods and Goddesses fill the void. It will  be alright !

Go with Odin's wisdom, Freyja's love and Thor's protection !
