Ansuz

All Father is everywhere
All wise in everything
Is Odin of the ancient Aesir
Seeker of sacred sooth
Searcher of spiritual souls

Wisdom is Woutan's weal
Wisdom is Woutan's wight
Woutan welcomes the wise
Revealer of righteous realms
Read right the runes

Thurisaz

Thorr the Thunderer
Thorn to the Thurses
Tho Thokk thrives
Strength against strife
Success against stress

Mustering Mjollnir's might
Magni maintains Midgard
Marking mighty mounts
Divinely descended
Defender to death

Uruz

Either ally or enemy
Awful and awesome
Is the aurochs or Ur
Solid strength upon strength
Steadily stirring the soul

Fierce friend of the fend
Ferocious foe on the field
Formidable fiend on the fjord
The wild ox wields
Wyrd weapons of wonder

Fehu

Wealth and weal
Both waxes and wanes
Brings wellness and woe
No scandal or shame
Unless squandered or stolen

The fruits of fortune
Both flowers and fades
Bought free for a fee
Neglect not the needy
Nor neglected in need

Heimdall


Heimdall, silent and wise
Always thinking, rarely speaking
What You know is true and right
Waiting for the proper time to
Say what we need to hear
When we are ready to listen

If we take the time to listen
To You and not just to ourselves
We’ll hear the wisdom of the gods
We must listen to Your wisdom and
Wait for Your divine advice so wise
Not confident in ourselves alone

Heimdall, You alone are called holy
Your deeds are greater than our words
While your words are few but ever mighty
As You defend Asgard defend us too we ask
In both word and deed, we ask, as You
Alone guard Bifrost from evil ways

As You alone know how to retrieve
Our Asa Thorr’s hammer as well as
Retaining Our Lady Freyja’s honor
Help us also to maintain our strength and
Honor when we’re also in such need of
Your wisdom and might so sublime

Heimdall, son of the waves, we call You Rig
Watch over and guard us, Your children, as You
Watch over and guard Asgard from Bifrost bridge
Support us in our quest for wisdom and as we flee from evil
Through Your gjallahorn, O Rig, hear our plea

Crowd Of Unknowing


He who can’t stand to be alone
Can’t stand to be with himself.
He who mistakes alone for lonely
Mistakes attention for approval.

The loner is despised
For his ability to exist
Without the flattery of others.

To constantly seek the company of others
Is to flee from the company of one self
Pity him who finds his self alone
Through the approval of others.

Litany Of Lies


They said I could be
Who I wanted to be
Then said who I could be
Said they knew best for me

They said I should be
What I wanted to be
Then said what that would be
Said they knew best for me

They said I could say
What I wanted to say
Then said what I could say
Said that it’s better this way

They said I was free
In the land of the free
Then told me how free
That they knew best for me

I was told who to be
I was told how to be
I was told what to be
And how I was still free

Ask who but not why
Ask how but not why
Ask what but not why
Dare not tarnish the lie
