For Gullveig, and for Loki.
I will pay her weregild
I’ll pay her weight in gold
though you’ve made it so expensive,
I’ve done it once before.
I will pay her weregild
I’ll haul her weight in gold
I’ll hold her heart beneath my heart –
I’ve done it all before.
Wow.
Such a lovely poem.
Many folks have theories as to why He ate Her heart….but I love this the best. What an evocative and powerful interpretation ❤
Thank you for sharing this powerful poem!
Do you mind if I reblog it on my blog?
