Know ye the Gods ?
Know ye the strength and power of the Mighty Gods?
Know ye their presence and their grace?
Have ye felt the Thunderer in the Storm?
Or felt One Eye’s wisdom riding on the Wind?
Do ye recognize Freyr in the fertile field or greening forest?
Is Freya there for you in your marriage bed?
Or Frigga in the kinship of your folk?
Does Gullveig speak to you of gold hard won?
Do you notice Sif’s hair in the autumn harvest?
Does Heimdall wink down at you from the rainbow’s fire?
Are these Old Ones in your life, human?
Have you followed their essence home?
