[Main Blog Post] First Two "All Father" Drafts

[jprussell]

Alright, after a lot of poetic stagnation, I've pulled two drafts of an "All Father" prayer for the Heathen Rosary out of, well, somewhere (let's hope it's from the mead that made it to Asgard, and not that which was "lost" upon the way!). Even more than usual, I'd very much appreciate your thoughts on these, as I can tell neither is "there" yet, but in working out the "Hail Idun," your input was invaluable.

Oh, and I also realized I hadn't posted my "Tree Creed" which I've been using in my daily prayer for nearly a year now, so I've put that in here too.

Again, thoughts very much welcome!

Rough German version of the "Three Drinks" All-Father:

Drei Getränke zum Allvater.

Ein Getränk vom wagend hindurchgedrungen Tod
Drei Nächte liegend mit holden Mädchen,
Siegreiche Dichtkunst zur würdigen Dichter.

Ein Met aus Gedächtnis, anständig gewann
Durch das furchtlos ausgepflückte Auge,
Verdienter Denkvorrat für herzliche Denker.

Ein Zug aus dem Schicksal, teuer gekauft
Mit dreimaldrei Nächten auf dem Baum dürstend,
Runen für beratfertigen Zauberer zu gewinnen.
