Mimir of the Aesir, god of
Mímisbrunnr, wisdom, teaching, inland body of waters, traditions, and prophecies.
Mimir is the wisest God of the Aesir, he was sent as a hostage during the Aesir/Vanir war; was beheaded by the Vanir. Odin upon learning this embalmed it with herbs so Mimir would forever be able to give him advice and insight.These are ways I personally honor Mimir and my personal associations with offerings. If you have something negative to say keep it to yourself, these are personal and work for me.
- Accept that self growth requires introspection and addressing your own flaws and mistakes.
- A drop of your blood in exchange for his knowledge.
- Have a traditional bowl of wood, ceramic, stone, etc to make offerings into.
- Donate books to your local library or children shelter.
- Have discussions with those around you, push them to think for themselves.
- Have a bowl of water with you when doing ritual work with him.
- Vote, a god of wisdom has no room for a person of ignorance and neglect.
- Decorate your home or altar in blue or white(I use neutral grays/black as an accent).
- Read. Anything and everything.
- Light candles or incense of pine, water, rain, any earthy smells that might take him back to his home.
- Keep some offerings unspoken.
- Tell him of the happenings in the world around you.
- When passing a well offer a prayer.
- Use the runes in your craft or practice, specifically, Ansuz, Dagaz, Ehwaz, Laguz, Mannaz, and Othala.
- Decorate your home or altar in symbolism of water, wells, fountains,
- Never assume you are entitled to his knowledge, even Odin had to give him an eye.
- Take a break from social media as a devotional act.
- Play God of War(2018) his representation is amazing.
- If someone calls you out for being problematic take it is an opportunity to learn instead of being offended.
- If able plant
ash trees, celandine, chamomile,and grow mistletoe.
- Study the Elder Futhark; learn how to properly write them all, what they mean, and how to use them.
