English
It is time to speak
from the seat of the sage, Stanza 111
When she comes, the man will fear her, so powerful
When she fights, the man will fear her, so quick
When she kills, the man will fear her, as Ragnarök
When she wins, the man will fear her, as they lose
A head stuck on a pike no longer conspires
With a hide hat, a sword, she lept from the ship
to slay saxon man
The clouds will blacken,
so black, and so thick
Völuspá 29.
Selected her Herfather
rings and gold,
riches wisely,
that she wisdom tell.
Saw she far and wide
in homes all.
Old Norse
Mal er at þylia þvlar stólí a
vrþar brvnni at
Hvenaer hon kemr, verr hræzla sinn, svá ríkr
Hvenaer hon hreða, verr hræzla sinn, svá hraðr
Hvenaer hon hlaða, verr hræzla sinn, ok Ragnarök
Hvenaer hon vinna, verr hræzla sinn, ok þeir los
Danish
Et hoved fast på en gedde ikke længere konspirerer
Old Norse
Með húð hattr, ok sverð, hljóp hon fra skipinu
til fella saxlenzkr hann
Verða skýin svart, svá blakkr, ok svá þykkr
Völuspá 29.
Valði henni Herföðr
hringa ok men,
fekk spjöll spaklig
ok spá ganda,
sá hon vítt ok of vítt
of veröld hverja.

The Saga of Ymir

þat var morgun þokufullr - þoka á leginum.
Dýr reis ok hafði einn munnr.
Leggir sínir, varu eins stórir ok einn tré.
Haka sín ok hnakkr, var hulin með skegg ok beins.
Klæddisk beinin sín sem gimsteinn.
Löginn var blóði hvenær hann hafði lokit
at drepa hverrgi.
Sagan Ymir
Völuspá 2.
Ek man jötna
ár of borna,
þá er forðum mik
fœdda höfðu;
níu man ek heima,
níu íviði,
mjötvið mœran
fyr mold neðan.
It was a foggy morning - fog upon the sea.
The beast rose and had a big mouth.
His legs, were as thick as a tree.
His chin and neck, was covered in beard and bones.
Wearing bones as jewel.
The sea was blood when he had
finished killing every one.
The Saga of Ymir
Völuspá 2.
I remember Jotnar
early born,
those who in old
foster me have;
nine homes I remember,
nine wooded rooms,
wise tree bright
before ground below.

Herknungr Broadstairs, UK
Herknungr is a project that explores ancient
culture but primarily norse aspects. It
was
formed over a love of ambient music, ritual
and folk music.
The aim of Herknungr is to provide a very rich
sound in coherence to viking era culture. To set
an authentic sound of the ancient nordic zeigeist.
Using instruments of our forebears over 1000 years
ago. With a modern twist in production.
