This book is an exploration of the wisdom in the Viking Age poem "Havamal", specifically as it relates to the average person who isn't a scholar of Old Norse, or even an enthusiast of Viking culture. This book is for the layman, the average person who simply wants to improve their life using proven advice. The poem "Havamal" is earthy, cynical, stoic, and grim in its depiction of human life. Havamal means “The Words of the High One”. The poem's speaker is none other than Odin, King of the Gods, who has traveled the many worlds seeking power and suffered greatly in his quest.

How profound the authors insight and interpretations of this beautiful text was.
Revisado: 12-01-23
The author represented this ancient text so beautifully. I really loved the way he brought so many different spiritual similarities to the forefront of historical texts and how peoples from all over the world had so many similar virtues and stories to support them. His voice was calming and he read so poetically. This book was fabulous and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in learning the words of Odin, The Allfather, and have a practical implication added to it. I have purchased a hard copy to share with my family.
