- **Event Name**: The Power of Words in Heathenry
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 03 Dec, 2026 at 12:00 am (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Blót and Sumbel are two Heathen ritual forms that incorporate ritualized toasting to build connection to the spirits, the land, and each other. From an outside perspective, these ceremonies could look like an excuse to drink mead with friends under the guise of ritual. However, the construction and performance of a toast goes so much deeper than the surface. Words spoken in ritual and witnessed by a group have a broad effect on the lives and connections of all involved. Oaths go even further - they can be so impactful that many groups have elaborate rules around oaths spoken in ritual. This workshop will explore these concepts and help attendees challenge themselves while increasing their potency through their approach to words.

This workshop will be held on Zoom. Please email FCUUPS(at)gmail(dot)com PRIOR TO 5 PM ON THE DAY OF THE WORKSHOP for the Zoom link.
