Book excerpt: For the first time in history, a piece of world literature has been transliterated into runes. In using the Elder Futhark I created a moment of antiquity for such an ancient yet important text that allows readers to see the Elder Futhark and English side-by-side. Although it can be argued that Elder Futhark predates the Viking Era, I chose to use this Futhark because, similarly, our oral history, too, predates the Viking Era. The Poetic Edda, also known as the Elder Edda, is an essential and timeless piece of ancient history predating the Viking age, through oral history, by at least a millennia. Denoting poems of the Norse Pantheon, Mythology, and Germanic legends and sagas, this collection is understandably one of the most influential pieces of Northern European lore ever produced and has significantly shaped and influenced the literature that came after it. The oldest copy of The Poetic Edda was so valuable that even the xtian bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson gifted it in the form of the Codex Regius to the King of Denmark in 1662, returning it to its original home. Even to this day, The Poetic Edda is still considered a national treasure by Heathens worldwide. This collection is a must-have for all my fellow Heathens, Pagans, collectors and fans of Viking lore out there in Heathendom. With this book, you can take a step back in time and immerse yourself both culturally and spiritually in these myths and legends from an age in history that inspires some of the greatest stories of the Gods and heroes to date.Hail The Gods!Gralok Loptsson
