Summary

English: Forn Sed: Álfablót at boulder. The picture is taken at an álfablót held by the Gothenburg kindred Godthiod at 7th November 2009 at a boulder at Getsjön (i.e. Goat Lake), Tunge parish, Ale hundred, Västergötland, Lilla Edet municipality, Västra Götaland, Sweden. Álfablót is a Norse ceremony honoring the dead, ancestors, and elves, and it's corresponding to the Celtic Samhain. The boulder has a tradition of being thrown by a giant. It has the number "Tunge 36:1" in Swedish National Heritage Board's database over ancient monuments. Godthiod was a kindred within the Swedish Asatru Assembly (now Forn Sed Sweden).
The altar consists of three cult images of the three Norns (Urð, Verðandi, and Skuld, the Norse goddesses of Fate) and three lighted cressets on the ground. These are placed in front of the boulder. The boulder is used as a "blóting stone" during the ceremony, and is thus receiving libations. To the left are some of the participants. In the background to the right is a lighted torch. In the foreground we can see the strange pattern in the bedrock of the place. The photo is taken without a flash before the ceremony.Svenska: Forn Sed: Alvablot vid flyttblock. Bilden är tagen vid Göteborgs-blotlaget Godthiods Alvablot 2009-11-07 vid ett flyttblock vid Getsjön i Tunge socken, Ale härad, Västergötland, Lilla Edets kommun, Västra Götaland, Sverige. Alvablot är en nordisk rit för att hedra de döda, förfäder och alver och den motsvarar den keltiska högtiden Samhain. Flyttblocket har tradition av att vara ett jättekast och har nummer "Tunge 36:1" i Riksantikvarieämbetets Fornminnesregister. Godthiod var ett blotlag inom Sveriges Asatrosamfund (numer kallat Samfundet Forn Sed Sverige).
Altaret utgörs av tre gudabilder föreställande de tre nornorna Urd Verdandi och Skuld och tre tända marschaller på marken. Dessa står framför flyttblocket. Flyttblocket används som blotsten ceremonien och mottager då libationsoffer. Till vänster sitter några av deltagarna. I bakgrunden till höger lyser en fackla. I förgrunden ser man det märkliga mönster berget har på platsen. Fotot är taget utan blixt under förberedelserna för blotet.
