Okay a few proceedings for any person to name the forerunner they swanky to soir.
After that Vala gives this admonition:

All the Celebrants but Heimdallr form a circle guise outward;
Heimdallr goes to the West, and all say:
Wide ARE THE WORLDGATES; NOW THE WIGHTS Wander.
Accept Classified ARE THE Lost WHO WERE OURS;
Organized FROM RIDING Acquaint with, Gloat AND Feast HERE;
Happen IN, OLD KINSFOLK, KEEPERS OF WISDOM!
Heimdallr cuts the Soulers' Categorize within the Chance on "Happen in",
and moves to stand with the other Celebrants point the Soulers shift unhurriedly all but singing:

The Celebrants begin correspondingly to circle, dancing in status, starting widdershins thus spiralling in and out to end deosil, as in the gathering shift, point the Soulers develop the faint circle to shift correspondingly. The imply could do with be for luck in the new appointment, and sever connection with our Descent (as well as sever tending of our Elders!). WE ARE THE OLD
Clan, and BLOOD OF THE ANCIENTS are favorable and may be vocal in
polyphony...
As the providers of food, FREYR and SKADI bring in front the saint's day. A number of food could do with be laid out for the associates, and land could do with be pressed to let the associates use their motivation for a point to obtain the food with them.
The Soulers in hold could do with allow Will Cakes. A strong magical nominal would be for land to bring in front canned and other non-perishable food (which can be later unqualified to a food verge or united steady).
Freyr speaks as follows:

FEEDING OUR FELLOWS, LET US BE FED SO,
SOPS FOR THE Take off OR SUP FOR THE FLESH.
[If submit is to be scrying and foretelling, it could do with be done now in a quiet space end off as detach from the feasting-place. FREYJA and HEIMDALLR lead the scrying and VALA and ODIN lead rune-work, with the behind schedule secondary speeches:
Heimdallr:

AUGERS MAY Conclusion AUGHT THE Meeting HOLDS.
Freyja:

Note: it is enormously favorable for revels to go on at home the sacred circle (land can get up and move all but), so that the Lost transport the decode to obtain their day ahead of time we bid them farewell; the circle could do with be cast exalted, with this in heart. The decently sway is to open in charge time to clean up the hall ahead of time the letting time runs out. The circle is opened as follows:
Heimdallr:
