The Blood of Odin |
Upon his shoulders perch two ravens, Hugin and Munin. |
They circle the earth by day seeing all, at night they report to him the |
world’s tidings. |
He wears a golden helmet and a golden ring, at his side sit two wolves. |
His weapons a magic sword and a spear called Gungnir, they are carved with |
runes. |
His eight legged horse Sleipnir carries him over land, sea and air, |
the bringer of the valiant dead, the einherjar, |
from the battlefield across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla. |
For a single drink of the enchanted water he paid with one eye, he was granted |
supreme wisdom. |
He is the god of poetry, sorcery, and death. |
Wounded, pierced by a spear he hung upside down for nine days. |
Fasting and agony he made of himself a sacrifice to himself. |
Given no bread nor mead he looked down, and with a loud cry fell screaming from |
the world tree. |
In a flash of insight the secret magic of the runes was revealed to him. |
He took up the runes and mastered them, eighteen powerful charms for protection, |
success in battle, lovemaking, healing and the power to bring back the dead. |
His sacred blood mixed with black wind and rain wept down from the world tree |
deep into the earth. |
He commanded the earth to crack open and to spew forth the strongest of the |
strong! |
On this day he did bestow unto the world the sons of Odin! |
