[

Is it the spring of Hvergelmir.

This place is a very vivid and peaceful place.

It's proper to pray.

Time to genuflect...

Time to start...

Hmm, what did that priest say to me?

Hmm... What is the first way?

The way of silence...?

I don't think so.

The way of confession...?

The way of meditation...?

Yes, it's the way of meditation.

[Priest Dayan]

The 1st way is the way of meditation.

In the way of meditation, we have to be ready to greet Odin with a clear conscience.

Meditation starts with a Blessing which calms your mind down.

- You close your eyes slowly and take a deep breath. -

- * BLESSING! * -

Your mind is refreshed with the blessing effect.

You continue to meditate trying to rid your mind of any ill feelings.

The 2nd is the way of agony.

Through the way of agony, we reflect on ourselves with confession about our retribution for the deeds of a former life.

Don't be afraid of pain. That is a necessity and will be a first step to enter a way to liquidate past wounds.

Pain... What kind of faults have I had?

I confess my guilt to the Almighty God Odin.

Oh benevolent Odin, Take mercy on me and pity me because I'm remiss in the discharge of my duties as a minister.

Please, lead the way and save a foolish minister with your wisdom.

You ruminate about your confession and are lost in thought again.

The 3rd way is the way of joy.

As you rid yourself of pain, your mind will suffer less and you will experience the joy of life as you help and console others.

And also they will bless you because you are an existence of joy overcoming an affliction. We call that Aspersio.

You must drink a Holy Water with appreciation of Aspersio.

You're drinking the Holy Water.

Oh no! I forgot to bring a Holy Water!

- You bow respectfully holding up a Holy Water and put the glass to your lips. -

- * ASPERSIO ! * -

The last way is a way of light..

You are free from all sin because you were blessed from all creation.

You were reborn as light, sing a Gloria of joy and soul that love you.

- You breath in deep and start to sing a Gloria.

A chord crashes out in the spring of Hvergelmir and a waterfall sound gives you a refreshing feeling. -

~Descendants of Heimdal gather under the Ash tree Yggdrasil.~

~The Curdan bird which sits on a branch brings me the wisdom of whole world.~

~The Curdan wolf protects me from all threats in the world.~

~The host of ballascalf, rise up from your seat. The whole world shouts for joy.~

~The father of light, the poet of wisdom, sing for me.~

~The host of a glittering glass, give me a holy prediction.~

- After you finish the song, you feel light and strong with abundant devotion. -

That was refreshing.

I guess I should go back to Priest Dayan.

The song is over. It's time to go back to Priest Dayan.
