Forgotten Ground Regained

On Odin’s Journey

With an opening line, it all begins:
We’re formed when fire · and frost collidedeep inside · the soundless abyss.We slay the giant, jealous of its strength,then make the world · where men abide.
Our fear of futures, of fates decreed,guides our path, picks our hour.We steal the magic · of Suttung’s mead,and flood the world · with words of power.
Thought and Memory · mumble into our earthe things they see, the stories they hear.The baleful wolf · will be our bane,our learning wasted, our wisdom vain.
We can’t avoid · or evade our ends.
