Bellows | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice Gróttasöngr consists of a dialogue between the dwarf-made millstone, Grótti, and the god Thor. The poem primarily focuses on Thor's return from a journey, during which he encounters a giant named Hymir. Thor arrives at Hymir's hall, seeking to obtain a cauldron large enough for brewing ale for the gods. Hymir, initially reluctant, agrees to accompany Thor on a fishing trip to fetch a suitable cauldron. Thor, eager to prove his strength, splits Hymir's head open with a blow from his hammer, Mjölnir, causing giant sea serpents to rise to the surface. Thor engages in a fierce battle with the sea serpents, ultimately killing them and obtaining the cauldron. On their return journey, Thor and Hymir encounter the giantess Grótt, who serves as a personification of the grindstone. Grótti sings a lament, expressing sorrow for Thor's deed in killing the sea serpents. The poem concludes with Thor returning to the hall of the gods, showcasing his victorious and heroic achievements. Gróttasöngr explores themes of strength, heroism, and the might of the thunder god Thor in his quest for powerful artifacts. Analysis of Gróttasöngr involves understanding its place within Norse mythology and its connection to other tales featuring Thor. The poem reflects the emphasis on physical prowess and the challenges faced by the gods in acquiring essential items for their realm. The personification of Grótti and her lament adds a poetic and mythic layer to the narrative, highlighting the interconnectedness of various elements in the Norse cosmos.

Baldrs draumar (Baldr's dreams) | The Poetic Edda Translated by Henry A. Bellows | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice Baldrs draumar recounts a series of ominous dreams experienced by the god Baldr, foretelling his impending death and the events leading to Ragnarök, the Norse apocalypse. Baldr begins having unsettling dreams that disturb both him and the other gods. Odin, Baldr's father and the chief of the Aesir, rides to the realm of Hel to seek insight from a seeress named Völva. Odin invokes powerful spells and raises the dead to question the seeress about the meaning of Baldr's dreams. Völva reveals the details of the dreams and their significance. The dreams foretell Baldr's death, and Völva predicts that Loki, the trickster god, will play a central role in Baldr's demise. The poem concludes with the gods' realization of the impending tragedy and their attempts to prevent or cope with Baldr's fate.

Baldr, often considered the most beloved and beautiful of the gods, becomes a central figure in the events leading to the end of the world. The poem reflects the Norse belief in the cyclical nature of existence, where even the gods are subject to fate and the cosmic order. The role of dreams as omens adds a mystical and prophetic dimension to the narrative. Odin's journey to consult a seeress and the summoning of the dead contribute to the atmosphere of foreboding and doom. The poem underscores the interconnectedness of the divine and mortal realms, highlighting the fragility of the gods and the impending chaos that will reshape the cosmos.

Grímnismál (The Ballad of Grimnir) | The Poetic Edda Introduction by Carolyne Larrington | Main Text Translated by Henry A. Bellows Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice Grímnismál features a conversation between the god Odin, disguised as Grímnir (the hooded one), and the giantess Geirröðr. The narrative unfolds as Odin provides Geirröðr with a detailed account of the cosmology of Norse mythology, the creation of the world, and various realms inhabited by gods, giants, and other beings. The poem begins with Geirröðr questioning the identity of the hooded stranger, who is revealed to be Odin in disguise. Odin responds by sharing his knowledge of the cosmos and the interconnectedness of all things. Odin describes the creation of the world and the structure of the cosmos, including the nine realms such as Asgard, Midgard, and Hel. He details the various dwellings of gods, giants, elves, and other supernatural beings, emphasizing the diversity and complexity of Norse cosmology. The narrative then shifts to Odin's account of his own exploits, including his self-sacrifice on Yggdrasil, the world tree, to attain wisdom and knowledge of the runes. Odin also describes the fates of different worlds and beings during Ragnarök, the ultimate destiny of the cosmos. Throughout Grímnismál, Odin imparts his wisdom and insights to Geirröðr, weaving a rich tapestry of mythological lore, cosmogony, and esoteric knowledge. The poem combines narrative and dialogue, providing a comprehensive overview of the Norse worldview. Grímnismál contributes to the broader understanding of Norse mythology, offering a glimpse into the complex cosmological framework and the cyclical nature of existence. The poem showcases Odin's role as a wise and knowledgeable figure, willing to share his wisdom with those who seek it, even if it means revealing the inevitability of Ragnarök and the transient nature of the world. Grímnismál is a poetic and didactic narrative in the Poetic Edda, presenting a conversation between Odin and the giantess Geirröðr. The poem explores the cosmology of Norse mythology, the creation of the world, and the fate of the cosmos, providing a comprehensive overview of the Norse worldview.

Hávamál (The Ballad of the High One) The Poetic Edda | Translated by Henry A. Bellows Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice Hávamál is a rich and multifaceted poem that combines mythic narrative, practical advice, and mystical insights attributed to Odin. It remains a cornerstone of Norse literature, offering a window into the wisdom and ethos of the ancient Norse culture, imparting guidance on various aspects of life, ethics, and behavior. Hávamál begins with the mythic narrative of Odin's self-sacrifice on the World Tree, Yggdrasil, where he hung for nine nights to gain knowledge of the runes. The poetic dialogue shifts to Odin's words of wisdom, presented in a series of stanzas, touching on diverse topics such as hospitality, the pursuit of knowledge, social conduct, and the art of living. The advice in the poem covers a wide range of practical and ethical considerations. Odin emphasizes the importance of being mindful, cautious in dealings with others, and generous in hospitality. The poem also delves into the secrets of the runes, offering insights into their mystical and magical qualities. The Hávamál can be broken up into various sections including Gestaþáttr (Guest's Section), Vetrnætr (Lay of the One in the Winter, or more correctly, Winter Nights) or Dómi Óðins (Judgment of Odin), Loddfáfnismál (Lay of Loddfáfnir), Rúnatal (Rune Song), and Ljóðatal (List of Charms). The enduring appeal of Hávamál lies in its timeless wisdom, philosophical insights, and the embodiment of Asatru values. The poem serves as a cultural and ethical guide, reflecting the worldview and moral principles of the European people. Don't forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe!

Vafþrúðnismál (Vafþrúðnir's Sayings) | The Poetic Edda Translated by Carolyne Larrington | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice Vafþrúðnismál is part of the collection known as the "Völuspá hin skamma" or the "Short Völuspá," and it takes the form of a dialogue between Odin and the giant Vafþrúðnir. The narrative begins with Odin disguising himself as Gagnráðr and visiting the giant Vafþrúðnir. Odin challenges Vafþrúðnir to a wisdom contest, and they take turns asking each other questions. The questions cover various aspects of Norse cosmology, mythology, and the fate of the world. Odin, using his cunning, seeks to extract knowledge from Vafþrúðnir while revealing as little as possible about himself. The questions touch upon the creation of the world, the origins of gods and giants, and the ultimate fate of the cosmos, including the events leading up to Ragnarök. Vafþrúðnir displays impressive knowledge but eventually fails to answer one crucial question posed by Odin. The poem concludes with the revelation of Odin's true identity and his departure from Vafþrúðnir's hall. Vafþrúðnismál is notable for its exploration of Norse mythology and cosmology through the format of a wisdom contest. The questions and answers provide insights into the nature of the Norse universe, the interplay between gods and giants, and the inevitability of Ragnarök. The poem highlights Odin's role as a seeker of knowledge and the lengths to which he goes to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe ▻ http://www.youtube.com/c/AsatruFolkAssembly/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFA Website ▻ http://www.runestone.org/ Asatru Academy ▻ http://www.asatruacademy.org/ Odinshof ▻ http://www.odinshof.org/ Thorshof ▻ http://www.thorshof.com/ Baldrshof ▻ http://www.baldrshof.org/ Njordshof ▻ http://www.njordshof.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitchute ▻ https://www.bitchute.com/channel/asatrufolkassembly/ Entropy ▻ http://EntropyStream.live/app/MattFlavel Gab ▻ https://gab.com/AsatruFolkAssembly Gettr ▻ https://gettr.com/user/asatru_folk_assembly LinkedIn ▻ https://www.linkedin.com/company/asatru-folk-assembly/ MeWe ▻ https://mewe.com/p/asatrufolkassembly Minds ▻ https://www.minds.com/asatru_folk_assembly/ Odysee ▻ https://odysee.com/@AsatruFolkAssembly:e Parler ▻ https://parler.com/asatrufolkassembly Pinterist ▻ https://www.pinterest.com/asatrufolkassembly/ Rumble ▻ https://rumble.com/c/c-760937 Spotify ▻ https://tinyurl.com/4a68n89f/ Telegram ▻ https://t.me/+WSYA1haLhVU0H9C2 Twitter ▻ http://twitter.com/FolkAsatru/ VK ▻ https://vk.com/asatrufolkassembly/ YouTube ▻ https://www.youtube.com/@AsatruFolkAssembly Twitch ▻ https://www.twitch.tv/victoryneversleeps/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celtic, Medieval, Tavern Music - (non-copyright) Vol. 3 Music from: Celtic, Medieval, Tavern Music - (non-copyright) Vol. 3 by Relaxation Harmony @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZYqOwQR59klsl-Yv-zO8ZA/
