Beschreibung

Havamal, or the Ballad of the High One, is the major work of Norse wisdom literature. In one of the key poems in the Poetic Edda we find the counsel of Odin himself. Advice for wanderers, proverbial wisdom, love advice, accounts of Odin's quest after the runes and the mead of poetry, and various spells and incantations fill out this marvellous poem, at once archaic and down to earth. The present translation is in the original alliterative verse, and through it the Allfather's true voice comes howling out of the wind-tossed tree where he hung "for nights full nine".
Fleshing out this collection are selections of wisdom poetry from elsewhere in the Poetic Edda and from Völsunga Saga, as well as 150 ancient saws and proverbs from a wide cross-section of Norse sagas. This is the definitive anthology of the wisdom of the ancient Northmen.

Über den Autor

The Westminster Confession of Faith was produced by the Westminster Assembly of Divines, a gathering of theologians and church leaders convened by the English Parliament in 1643. The assembly met at Westminster Abbey in London and worked for several years to develop a series of doctrinal standards for the reformation of the church. The confession, along with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, became central documents in the Presbyterian and broader Reformed traditions and continues to serve as a doctrinal standard for many churches around the world.
