This started out as at least half a joke, but as I worked through it, I was like "huh, maybe this isn't all bad". The Lord's Prayer is one of the few pieces of my lukewarm Christian upbringing that really stuck in my mind, and I've always appreciated its cadence, so I tried to keep that as much as possible here while making the concepts fitting for a prayer to Woden. That being said, I'm really new at this prayer/poetry thing, so I'm sure I'll look back at this in a bit and cringe.

Allfather, who art in Fallhall,
Awesome be Thy name.
Thy walkyries come, Thy will be done,
On fields choosing the winners.
Teach us this day our daily lore,
And welcome us as wayfarers,
As we welcome those who wayfare amongst us.
Lead us not into shamefulness,
And unshackle us from fetters.
For Thine is the wisdom,
and the greatness, and the lordship,
As long as this age shall last.
Alu.
