Why was the manuscript hidden throughout four centuries, and what were the real messages behind Old Norse poetry? Are the Norse myths truly just funny stories about gods, trolls and giants, or do they hide some deeper insights? By translating the names, and opening up the myths as metaphor, Kvilhaug reveals how ritual and spiritual mysteries were at the heart and core of Old Norse Paganism.

…At három þúl hleþu aldregi
opt er gott þat er gamlir qveþa;
opt or scarpom belg
scilin orð coma,
þeim er hangir meþ hám
oc skollir meþ scrám

Never laugh at the ancient Sage:
Often it is good what the old ones say;
Often from the wizened old body
wise speech issues:
They that hang among leathers
and hide between hides
