👁️Heimdallr Devotional Tips👁️

Heimdallr; god of focus, light, purpose, guardianship, communication, and protection.
He is the child of nine maidens and the guardian of Bifrost, the rainbow bridge between Midgard and Asgard. Which is why some believe he is the connection between body and soul. In the Rígsþula – Ríg(Heimdallr) was sent to Midgard as a child to grow with them; to help create the three classes of society and give birth to children who learn to kindle the fire, learn runic wisdom, and learn advanced workmanship and blacksmithing. He is sometimes related to Yggdrasil because of his mention of often being found “sitting under the sacred tree”.These are ways I personally honor Heimdallr and my personal associations with offerings. If you have something negative to say keep it to yourself, these are personal and work for me.
