For Knowledge of Runes and For POWER —




Odin 

The Highest and 
The Oldest 
of all The Gods is Odin

Odin knows Many Secrets
He gave An Eye 
for Wisdom

More than that, for 
Knowledge of Runes
and for Power
He Sacrificed Himself to Himself

He hung from 
The World-Tree, Yggdrasil, 
hung there for nine nights. 

His side was pierced by 
The Point of a Spear, 
which wounded him gravely

The Winds clutched at him, 
buffeted His Body as it hung. 
Nothing did He eat for 
nine days or nine nights
nothing did he drink

He was alone there, in pain
The Light of His Life 
slowly going out. 

He was coldin agony
and on the point of death 
when his sacrifice bore 
Dark Fruit

In the ecstasy of His agony 
He looked down
and 
The Runes were 
revealed to him. 

He Knew Them, 
and 
Understood Them 
and 
Their Power

The Rope broke then, 
and he fell, screaming
from The Tree. 

Now He understood Mag!c. 

Now, The World 
was His to Control.
