Ár var alda, þar er Ymir bygði; ór Ymis holdi var jǫrð um skǫpuð, en ór sveita sær, bjǫrg ór beinum, baðmr ór hári, en ór hausi himinn.

The age was old when Ymir (Twin) lived; from Ymir’s flesh the earth was formed, and from his sweat (i.e. blood) the sea, boulders from his bones, trees from his hair, and from his skull the sky.

Völuspá, Retold

Spirit breatheth Odin

Mind giveth Hoenir

Blood shareth Lodur

Another excellent job, spake Odin

Three about to leave

I’ll catch up thee, saith Lodur

I have to pee

Leaves Odin and Hoenir

Heaves a sigh, Loki

Finally

See guys, he says

My love language is

Follows a snap of fingers

Giving gifts

Sets a flame on their timber

Once cold, now an everlasting ember

His voice is warm like honey

Our little secret, aye?

I saw what happened to the last guy

Who gave some fire to your kind

Sighs

Go now, have some fun

Be great, be terrible

Saith the firebringer

His eyes are warm like amber

Gifts a wink and disappear

Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel; the wolf will break its bonds and run. I know much wisdom, I see deep in the future, all the way to Ragnarok, a dark day for the gods.

So, last year, I wrote a 135 verse poem entitled The Völva's Haikus — Essentially a rewriting of Völupsá in what's typically regarded as the "haiku metre".

I'm hoping to publish the poem in full later this year, but until then, here's an excerpt from it.

“The sun did not yet know

where it rested at evening,

the stars did not yet know

their places in the sky,

the moon did not yet know

what kind of power it had.”

As I mentioned before when it was still in progress, I made a biggest one so far

It's an A3 sized lino print. It took me about a week to draft it, then erase, then draft again and so on back and forth, in the meantime carving parts I felt okay with and hoped it will turn out great. I guess it did after all.

I was unhappy with the results of rolling ink so I used a sponge.

(The Golden Lyre)  ~ Maris Bergrune

These are songs that use stanzas of Old Norse poetry - written down starting in the 1200s in Old Icelandic - set to music. I didn't try to be traditional in the music style; so the styles don't reflect any particular tradition. The idea was to make the poems, starting with the Völuspá (Prophesy of the Seeress), more accessible to people not familiar with the genre, and help me memorize the poems in the process. At first I was thinking I would just do a few stanzas, but it soon became clear I was going to do the entire poem. I am almost done with the 64 stanzas or so of the Völuspá. These are some of my preliminary recordings that will be refined and published.

Worms from the rotting remains of Ymir became the cardinal directions

Odin and his two brothers were in fear that the sky would fall upon them.

Luckily, worms had started to slither out of the rotting remains of the recently murdered Ymir and turned into dwarves.

The brothers grabbed 4 of these newly developed dwarves and had them hold up the sky.

They became known as Nordri (north), Sundri (south), Austri (east) and Vestri (West).

✨My precious 🥀 A few weeks ago, my beloved friend @ateliersentulia made me the most amazing gift : a customed book binding of one of the most precious text to my pagan heart, the Poetic Edda. It’s now the most sacred book I own (except for Dodu & Gros, my Book of Shadows & Grimoire) and it has a very special place in my craft and heart. Thank you again, my dear, you have no idea how meaningful this beauty is to me 🖤💫📚 #book #grimoire #edda #poeticedda #norsemythology #skald #norsegods #havamal #voluspa #sacredbook #mythology #scandinavianmythology #odin #freyja #volva #asatru #pagan #heathen #paganism #custombook #handmade #altar #paganaltar #paganism #norsepaganism #runes #norsepagan #norserunes #futhark #futharkrunes #norsewitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CjP8qiQqL-i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[secretswansong]

has anyone else noticed that the part from ithlinne's prophecy "the era of the sword and axe is nigh, the era of the wolf's blizzard" sounds similar to stanza 44 of the voluspa "an age of swords, shields will be cloven, an age of winds, an age of wolves"
