Shrine to Ullr

[Goblin84]

Im considering building a shrine to Ullr in my apartment. any ideas of what shall be placed in it? I know at some resorts they burns ski's to please this wonderful god however I am poor and cannot afford to burn my skis...plus i think there is some fire code in my town preventing me from doing that.

speaking of, you know of any other weird traditions of this kind?

Go to a ski swap or look for old skis at yard sales (not on the mountain after someone falls, you know the ones people have to get rid of their crap). You can place a container of swix wax on the shrine, old lift tickets....

NO NO NO!!!!!

The burning of skis has to be a sacrifice... You don't sacrifice someones trash...
You have to sacrifice something that's important to you...

You'll need a virgin to make the shrine complete.

bras?

That doesn't work..

There's a tree off to the side of the quad lift, about half way up, that's full of them at Crotched..

And it hasn't helped...

is that virgin powder, a virgin skier...or just your run-of-the-mill-virgin?

Your run of the mill virgin is required.

But I'm not sure if you need to specify male/female.

Does anyone know ULLR's gender?

 

[Goblin84]

Ullr is the son of Thor

Edit: Stepson of Thor

That depends on who you ask...

Wikipedia says guy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ullr

In Norse mythology, Ullr‡ is a son of Sif and a stepson of Thor.

This site seems to hint otherwise...

[JimG.]

B, the other site you listed says "IF ULLR WAS A GIRL".

So, he's male.

Female virgin required bacause I'm not going to ask about his sexual orientation.

 

[jack97]

A female virgin? You mean someone who has never been on skis or board?

Build it in your freezer.

Adjust the size of the freezer as necessary.

Cigar, rum, eggshell.....

Some things are just impossible for me to accept intellectually or emotionally.

.....

I think the police will come eventually when someone notices the said virgin is missing..

Not to mention, it'd be a horrible waste of a perfectly good virgin...
