A Vikings Havamal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781678175900)

Havamal, Verse 52: You don't have to give large or expensive gifts away, gifts with sentimental value are best; half a loaf of bread and a horn of ale won me many friendships. Hail to the reader The Havamal is one of the most sacred texts for modern Scandinavian descendants who wish to learn more about their Norse ancestral philosophy. The literature of the Havamal stayed alive amongst old Scandinavia, due to the fact that all stories were passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. The Havamal is a collection of advice and verses believed to have been handed down by Odin to the Norse people. I have attempted my best to translate these ancient words into modern-day English most speakers could understand, while only interpreting the meaning of words into understandable grammar for English. While also not trying to tamper with the practical structure, integrity and flow of the original verses using "wisdom plus proof equals truth".
