Uller Bede
Old Father glides
across the snows
bone shoes a gleaming
sends sharp piercers to redden pelts
meat for the larder
on the High Seat
Eldest is Chief
Friend Har is roaming
Witness to Oaths
Judge to Duels
and Forelorn Battle
Snow Sender sends Light Bearer brings
Yule Lord gifts us
Balder Friend laughs spirits to raise
Helheim is mirkless
Shield Sailor speeds across the froth
whaleway to conquer
Plague Breaker breaks Sight Seer sits
Wisdom to gather
Yew Lord, Bow God Fur Wearer, Os
Uller the Unknown
Thor Fosterson
Skadi Husband
Father to Teiwaz
God you may be
or Giant Kin
perhaps
something else
and I, your son
will Honor give
respect to render
