Teetotalism, rituals and Asatru

[Breathe]

Hey guys

Question that I'd like to know the answer to, please?

How does one perform a blót and so on when they do not drink? Can one offer non-alcoholic drinks to the gods, too?


Additionally, how is a typical ritual/worship thingy done? Are there any guidelines?


You'll have to excuse me for not making much sense, I'm really tired but I thought I'd ask this before I go to bed.

You don't have to drink it It can be simply poured in the God's honour. Here are a few links on blots

Internet Book of Shadows: Asatru Blot (Lewis Stead)
Blót - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rituals of Asatru

I'm actually going to read these sites too because I don't know much about them either! Haha. I know little about them myself, as I am still relatively new.

In one I just read that it can be juice! No Alcohol needed!

Brother Odin,
You can always use a non alcoholic mead. One recipe I know of is equal parts apple juice, honey and water. I am aware that some Celtic/Druid folk use that recipe (or others like it) it too.
