The Hávamál, often considered the most sacred and mysterious part of the Elder Edda, was understood as the very Words of Odin, King of the Gods of Asgard, for centuries by the Norse. Across the mists of time, this poem of wise advice to mankind, was the inspiration for some of the Germanic world's greatest explorers, warriors and heroes. The beliefs of the Heathen faith of the Vikings are encapsulated in the Hávamál, whose wisdom on life remains just as relevant today as when it was first recited by the Norse Skálds. Now it is translated line-for-line, un-altered, side-by-side with the Old Norse text, in a clear and concise English edition usable by both spiritual seekers and students of Old Norse language alike.
