The best of the skald's voice, distilled.
From the landmark collection Viking Poetry for Heathen Rites comes a lighter, more intimate volume: twenty-seven of the finest mythological and praise poems, now gathered for easy reading, carrying, and speaking.
Here is Yggdrasilsdrápa. The Tale of Wisdom's Well. Rise and Reach the Gods. The Six Treasures. Valhalla. Pagan Praise to Freyr. And more-crafted in the alliterative meters of the Viking Age, filled with kennings, alive with the pulse of the old skalds.
These are not scholarly curiosities. They are living offerings. Speak them in ritual. Share them in sumbel. Read them alone by firelight. Each one carries the mead of poetry that Óðinn brought to Asgard, poured into forms the Gods still recognize.
Whether you already own the larger book or are meeting these poems for the first time, Hail the Gods puts the best of the work directly in your hands-compact, approachable, and ready to be voiced.
Open it. Raise your voice. Hail the Gods.
