English translation and original Old Norse text of the Voeluspa and
Havamal, the two most important poems of the Elder Edda. Aelfric
Avery presents a literal translation made by a heathen for
heathens, with the translation beside the original Old Norse text.
Avery's translation does not add or take away anything from the
original text, nor does it offer the assumptions, interpretations
and rationalizations that are found in other translations. The
purpose of this translation is for heathens to be able to
understand what the original text of these poems actually says and
to be able to read the text in Old Norse and know what it means.
Further, Old Norse words which do not translate well into Modern
English but which are central concepts in heathenry are explained
with notes in the Wordhoard. An Old Norse pronunciation guide is
also included.
