About Hávamál: Norse Wisdom
Carry the words of the High One into everyday life. Hávamál brings all 165 stanzas of Henry Adams Bellows's 1923 translation together with his own notes, original reflections, practical questions and a journal for your own thoughts.
Read the poem in its historical and literary setting, from hospitality and friendship to Odin's search for wisdom. Bellows's stanza numbering is used throughout, with clear translation credit and source notes.
A STANZA FOR EACH DAY
Return to one stanza each day, read its reflection and try a small exercise. Mark days of practice at your own pace. Add the home-screen widget or choose an optional daily reminder.
EXPLORE THE WHOLE POEM
Browse all 165 stanzas, search their text, filter by theme and bookmark passages to revisit. Adjust the reader's text size. Under many stanzas you will find the translator's own note: which lines look added, where the manuscript order differs, and who Fjalar, Rati or Loddfafnir are. The full translation and reading material are bundled for offline reading.
NINE VIRTUES, A 27-DAY PATH
Walk a modern list of nine virtues, from courage and truth to hospitality and perseverance, back into the poem: three days for each virtue, one stanza a day, with something small to try and a question to carry. Begin on the first day, continue at your own pace, or start from any virtue.
TWO SISTER POEMS
Read Bellows's translation of the Ballad of Vafthruthnir, where Odin wagers his head in a contest of knowledge, and the eleven numbered counsels of the Ballad of the Victory-Bringer, close kin to the advice given to Loddfafnir. Each comes with a reading guide, the translator's introduction and his notes.
KEEP YOUR REFLECTIONS
Write a note from any stanza, return to it in your journal, edit it or remove it. Journal notes stay on your device and are excluded from Android backup and device transfer.
READ THE LORE
Thirteen articles introduce the poem, its parts, its source edition and numbering, the mead of poetry, the poem's place in modern Heathenry and the readers who look for a hidden key. Bellows's own introduction is included. Companion links open Runeveil for rune alphabets and rune poems, and Hearth Wheel for the wheel of the year.
