Wunjo

Happy are the holy
Having hearth and house in heaven
Himingbjorg is Heimdall's home
Gladly go the gods
Giving graves their ghost

Blessed are the blissful ones
Bringers of bountiful beauty to
Bright halls beyond Bifrost
Generous are the just ones
Joined by joyful ones

Gebo

To get is to give
Gracious is the gifted
Who gives after getting
Sharing of spoils
Is salve for the soul

Wholeness is happiness
Hoarding is harmful
Unhealthy and hurtful
The presenting of presents
Is a practice with promise

Kenaz

Qualitative not quantitative
Create out of chaos
Create from the core
Transformation is tough
Truth must be told

Illumination is elusive
Alive and aloof
Although inspired and inviting
Forage for fagots
Find the flame and fan

Raidho

The route may be rough
The road may be rocky
The rider runs the risk
The destination depends
Upon determination and drive

To travel the tree
Of trouble and travail
Tough trip to take
Misguided goals bring
Grief to the gods

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
