If you see an old man with a floppy hat and only one eye. Treat him well. That will be Odin walking Midgard as Grim |

The Rune Poem |
|
|
|
|
|
I wot that I hung on that wind tossed tree
All of nights nine, wounded by spear
bespoken to Othin, bespoken myself to myself
upon that tree that none telleth from what root it doth rise
Niether horn they upheld or handed me bread:
I looked below me--
aloud I cried--
caught up the runes, caught them up wailing,
thence to the ground fell again |

The Sayings of Har |
|
|
|
|
Grim |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The unwise man waketh all night thinking of this and that----tosses, sleepless, and is tired at morn, nor lighter for that his load. |

More sayings of Har |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EEarly sown acres let none ever trust,
nor trust his son too soon:
undoes weather the one
unwisdom the other
risk not thy riches on these. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The unwise man thinks that he ay will live if from fighting he flees :
but the ails and aches of old age dog him though spears have spared him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ones home is best tho a hut it be:
there a man is master and lord:
though but two goats thine and a thatched roof, tis far better than a beg. |
|
|
|
Middling wise every man should be;
beware of being too wise;
happiest in life most likely he
who knows no more than is needful |
|
|
|
|
|
The whole Earth over, hover Hugin and Munin:
I dread lest Hugin droop in his flight yet I fear me still more for Munin |
|
|
|
Valfather feeds his wolfs Freki and Geri on the flesh of the fallen but weapon clad Othin on wine only lives forever Ay! |
