“This is another wonderful production by Eoghan Odinsson. In Northern Wisdom he has interpreted and updated The Havamal for the twenty first century without compromising the integrity of the original material.
Eoghan sets an example of the work needed in this new aeon: Upgrading the Mysteries and giving the gods more bandwidth!
I greatly appreciate the discussion on the often referred to phrase in The Havamal – “common sense”. Here it is explained in terms of ‘natural’ inborn intelligence. This is in contrast with the current meaning of the phrase as ‘acceptable conventional’ values, often derived from other peoples opinions.
I have always lived as much as possible in accord with The Havamal. This is a most usefull book to adapt ones modern worldview to the traditional values expressed in The Havamal. The illustrations of the runes accompanying the rune poems are very useful.
I recommend this for use as a daily meditation manual. Read one stanza both traditional and modern, then try to envision current aspects of you daily life which correspond to this verse. Try to interpret the world and it’s happenings around you in terms of The Havamal. Perceive beyond linear time the eternal values of this Odin inspired Work.”
