The Heiðinn Chronicles - Ólúgfróðr

"...sing you the rune song, speak you the word..." Þulr

"Now let us speak of elder things,
of warriors strong and dragon wings.

Of banners held before the host,
of times gone by, the hoary ghost.

I seek no wealth the hand can hold,
my brother's trust, his spirit bold.

I stood upon the cliff's sheer drop,
the wind l felt, it would not stop.

I know the Well in win'st It rest,
the Tree l ride l can attest.

This day l woke to the raven's call,
"the wolf, the wolf is on the prowl."

I see the days when I was bold,
I long for them, my story's told."

"If the gods, on a human level,
have shown us a path as how
to live an inspirational life,
then we as their essence have
a duty to inspire ourselves."

Alongside human remains, a horse's skull and horse trappings were found in 1848 at Athlumney, which shed light on the pagan Viking horse cult.

36. One's own house is best, small though it be; at home is every one his own master. Though he but two goats possess, and a straw-thatched cot, even that is better than begging.(Havamal Thorpes translation)
