~ A Scout's Days of the Week ~

In my own voice

Music: Sweetgrass by Anna Schaad

Listen, all you who seek,

And hear me tell the Days of the Week:

There is much to learn, where the World-Tree Roots run deep,

And the Fateful Norns share the Wisdom that They keep.

Our Sun keeps the World Clean with Her Warmth and Light;

Mother of Life, born of Chaos and Mundil’s Might:

She shares her Kind Gifts: Seasons, and Crops, and Rainbows bright.

So we honor our Sun: with Her Day—called just, Sunday [Sun-Day]

The Sun’s Brother – our Loyal Moon, Brings the Tides and rules the Night.

Ever Obedient to the Rhythm of Stars and Time and heavenly Sight;

And on Mysteries of Heart and Mind, He sheds His Light.

So we honor the Moon: with His Day called, Monday [Moon-Day]

Now find humble Tyr, the God who stepped up when our World He could save.

Sacrificing his Hand so The Gods could bind the Wolf in his Cave.

Once called Tiew, He teaches us: be responsible, be Helpful, be Brave.

So we honor Tiew: with His Day we call, Tuesday [Tiew's Day]

Now find All-Father Oðin, Creator of the Nine Worlds and of each of us.

Oldest of our Gods, giver of Life, and Law, and the Quest to find Purpose.

Once called Wodan, He teaches: seek Wisdom, be Reverent, be Courteous.

So we honor Wodan: with His Day we call, Wednesday [Wodan's Day]

Now find Trustworthy Thor, Oðin’s Son, mighty defender of Justice.

With His Hammer, black-robed Judges rule on Laws made to entrust us.

His Example teaches: be the most Friendly to Friends, but to the Unjust be the fiercest.

So we honor Thor: with His Day we call, Thursday [Thor's Day]

Find now -- Freya as She gathers those who die well, to Her gleaming Hall;

Our Goddess teaches us: be Thrifty and Wise, and follow the Fates’ quiet Call:

“Live well, Love well, make our World a better Place for All.”

So we honor Freya: with Her Day we call, Friday [Freya-Day]

At last we find steady Saturn, born of Sky and of Earth:

Once called Chronus, He marks Weeks, and Months, and Seasons with Mirth.

Teaching us: be Cheerful, as we reap our hard-work’s Worth.

So we end our week honoring Saturn: with His Day called, Saturday [Saturn-Day]

Written in an effort to honor our shared heritage and to strive toward a more inclusive chapel experience:
