The wéonde gealdor (sacred boundary song/chant) is an Old English call to the god Thúnor (ThorR) to sanctify and make sacred an area demarcated by holy fire. The performer “beats the bounds“ with a torch (an ancient form of land taking), while singing the chant.
The chant asks that all within its area come without hostility, that ill meaning wights and outlaws leave the area, and that the gods make the area safe and pleasing for all.
