HARROWS

Notes:
- The Valkyries harrow is for offerings
to the Choosers of the Slain in general, or to any
specific valkyrie, or for victory in general.
- Wish-Maidens are servants of Odin in
his guise as Oski, the granter of wishes. They may have
been identical with the valkyries, they may not. No
surviving lore indicates which is the case. This harrow
is for offerings to the Wish-Maidens and to Oski their
lord.
- The Land-Wights harrow is for alfs,
huldrafolk, landvaettir, and for any sort of land wight
at all.
- In ancient times, women who practiced
seidh were made certain offerings as to the spirits they
invoked. The Spakonar harrow is a place for payment for
those who have again taken up seidh and the high seat and
the speaking of prophecy.
- The Dead harrow is for the dead in
general, amd a place for anyone to leave offerings for
their own ancestors or dead.
