Prayer: To Fenrir

Not for destruction’s sake— but for truth’s sake.

Praying to Fenrir isn’t like praying to a god of light or harvest. It’s raw, personal, and often therapeutic. Here’s how to approach it respectfully. In the myths, Fenrir is the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboda. The gods, fearing his growth and power, tricked him three times into wearing magical chains—finally binding him with Gleipnir, a ribbon made of six impossible things (like the sound of a cat’s footfall and the breath of a fish). When Fenrir realized he couldn’t break free, he bit off the hand of the god Tyr. prayer to fenrir
