This is a prayer (if that's the word) to Odin I wrote back in the 1970's, and published in A Book of Uncommon Prayers, available through the Asatru Folk Assembly.
Odin! Rune-God, Raven-God, Wolf-God, Odin! I call out to you, not as a slave, or on bended knee, but on my feet and open-armed, a befits your offspring. Watch me as I struggle. But the fight and the fame must both be mine; grant me that victory which I win by might and main. If I fight well, Odin, take me into Valhalla, where I may feast and drink and be merry with your heroes until the time comes to fight once more. Odin, hail!
