Charming of the Plough, or Disa-blot, or Offering of Cakes: There were a number of holy days celebrated in different places at around the same time. They would fall around the first new moon after the end of Yule, or close to the beginning of February. In some places this was a Thor holy day, and marked his struggle against the frost giants. In other places the holy day was for Goa, a daughter of Thor, another earth deity. In still other places it was the disa-blot, which may have been for the disir, or may have been a remembrance for a human queen named Disa. The plough, and other farming implements were sometimes blessed at this time, to be readied for the coming planting. In some places cakes might be baked and offered to all of the gods.Free eBooks (Can Be Downloaded):
