Lyrics: (Old Norse and English)

Ein sat hon úti, þá er inn aldni kom
yggjungr ása ok í augu leit. Hvers fregnið mik?
Hví freistið mín? Allt veit ek,
Óðinn, hvar þú auga falt, í inum mæra Mímisbrunni.
Drekkr mjöð Mímir morgun hverjan af veði Valföðrs.
Vituð ér enn - eða hvat?

-

Alone I sat | when the Old One sought me, The terror of gods, | and gazed in my eyes: "What hast thou to ask? | why comest thou hither? Othin, I know | where thine eye is hidden."I know where Othin's | eye is hidden, Deep in the wide-famed | well of Mimir; Mead from the pledge | of Othin each mom Does Mimir drink: | would you know yet more?

Hail The Allfather!
May he guide all those on their paths to seek enlightenment/knowledge to revel what remains hidden. May he bless those who remain defiant & steadily in pursuit of greater knowledge.
Knowledge is everywhere.... Seek & you will receive. As Ol one eye favors those who pushes one's self through struggle, obstacles, both physically and mentally demanding, Nothing goes w/out sacrifices.
Odin's quest & thirst for knowledge wasn't just giving.... It was achieved through self sacrifice by hanging from the great tree for 9 agonizing nights with ribs pierced & an eye. Then & only did he receive great knowledge- The Runes.

Tonight was the first time I had ever heard this song. Not knowing the lyrics or their meaning, I found myself singing along, as if the ancestors were singing and guiding me... 🥲 I couldn't stop listening to this on repeat for over a half an hour. Each time nearly bringing me to tears. This truely calls to the deepest parts of my soul. ☺❤❤❤
