'Waes Hael' I am Odin, the All-Father. One-eyed, I sacrificed my eye for a draught of Mimir's Well of Wisdom. I hung for nine days upon Yggdrassil, the cosmic tree, and gained knowledge of the runes. Runes that I carved with magic, upon the spear Gungnir, cut from the sacred wood of Yggrassil. With my wolves, Geri and Freki at my side, I am mounted upon the eight legged Sleipnir, swiftest of steeds, and attended by Hugin ('thought') and Munin ('memory'), my ravens, who bring me news of the nine worlds. Waes Hael! |
