Excerpts:

• Voluspa! (Kenna’s Favorite!!)

19. “An ash I know, | Yggdrasil its name,

With water white | is the great tree wet;

Thence come the dews | that fall in the dales,

Green by Urth's well | does it ever-grow.

20. Thence come the maidens | mighty in wisdom,

Three from the dwelling | down 'neath the tree;

Urth is one named, | Verthandi the next,--

On the wood they scored,-- | and Skuld the third.

Laws they made there, and life allotted

To the sons of men, and set their fates.”

• Helgakviða Hundingsbana I - Poetic Edda
  

2. 'Twas night in the dwelling,

and Norns there came,

Who shaped the life

of the lofty one;

They bade him most famed

of fighters all

And best of princes

ever to be.

3. Mightily wove they

the web of fate,

While Bralund's towns

were trembling all;

And there the golden

threads they wove,

And in the moon's hall

fast they made them.

4. East and west

the ends they hid,

In the middle the hero

should have his land;

And Neri's kinswoman

northward cast

A chain, and bade it

firm ever to be
