ODINS-RUNE-SONG

I know myself hanging on the wind cold tree for nine icy nights.

Wounded by the spear, consecrated to Odin

I consecrated to myself.

I was hanging on the mighty tree which conceals man

Where man grew out of its roots.

They offered me neither bread nor wine

So I bent down in search.

I recognized the Runes; wailing I grasped them.

Until I sank down from the tree.

Now I began to increase, to be wise,

To grow and to feel well.

From the word, word grew after word

And deed shaped to deeds with deeds.

Now I know the songs like no wise one knows

And none of the children of men.

And should these songs, O' human child, be un-learnable to you for sheer endless time;

Grasp them as you get hold of them, use them as you hear of them. Hail you if you retain them!

RUNE F A

I know the Songs that no wise woman knows

And none of the children of men.

The first Song is HELP, and help it will

Against sorrow, hurt, and any distress.

RUNE U R

A second I know; quite useful to the children of men

Who practice the healing hand:

It chases disease and all pain,

It cures hurts and all wounds.

RUNE T H O R N

A third Song I know: If urgency tells me

To tie the opponent with magic

Then I dull the steel of my foes

So that their swords will not cut anymore.

RUNE O S

A fourth Song I know: If an enemy puts

A tie of pliable limbs;

Then I speak the spell, the shackles break on the feet

And the fetters break on the hands.

RUNE R I T

This I know as a fifth: If in hostile flight

An arrow shoots into the crowd;

Not matter how it threatens, I block its force

By grasping it tightly with the look of my eyes.

RUNE K A

A sixth one is mine: Should a warrior hurt me

With the roots of soft wood;

This warrior who awakens the hate within me

Shall be struck before it gets me.

RUNE H A G A L

A seventh I know: If the hall blazes high in flames

Above all the people;

No matter how it burns, I still save them all.

The Magic I know to perform.

RUNE N O D

An eighth one is mine: quite useful to hear

For all the people in danger and need.

Where hate should arise between man and man

I settle it fast.

RUNE I S

A ninth one I know: If danger is out in the sea

To protect my dear ship

I conjure the wind on the billowing floods

An I sing into slumber the sea.

RUNE A R

A tenth one I know: When ill wishing spirits

Fly high in the air; I cause them to turn around

Back to their homes, deprived of their covers;

Back to their roots, bewildered their minds.

RUNE S I G

This I know as eleventh: Then I Lead

Into battle the friend, the beloved;

I sing it into his shield, so he will win in battle

And luck around him everywhere.

RUNE T Y R

A twelfth one I know: If I see the hanged man

On the tree, shaking in the wind

Then I scratch and I stain Runes

The warrior can talk and descends from the tree.

RUNE B A R

A thirteenth I name: If I wet the Son

With holy water

When he is facing the foes he cannot perish

And no blade can strike him into the dust.

RUNE L A F

A fourteenth I sing to all the assembled people

When I name the Divine names;

For nobody knows the characters of Albs

And of all Aesir as well as I do.

RUNE M A N

A fifteenth I count: That which Volkrast, the gnome

Sang by the gates of the day;

To strength for the Aesir, and to force for the Albs,

And to clear my own senses.

RUNE Y R

A sixteenth I know:

If from wise maiden I desire joy of love

Then I change the intent of the maiden

And I turn her feeling around.

RUNE E H

A seventeenth I know:

To join together two lives

In love through wise law;

Both are willing, and no one will lightly part after this.

RUNE G I B O R

An eighteenth I learned, but I would not tell

To just anyone else; for the best Everyone keeps for himself.

That which leads to the end of the songs.

The one only knows who is in my arms as my only lover.
