about

This is the companion album to Eirik’s book, Viking Poetry for Heathen Rites, and all of the tracks are new recordings of poems from that book. An hour’s worth of alliterative poetry in the traditional Viking meters.

For links to purchase the book itself in a variety of print and electronic formats, please see:

From the book cover:

Honor the Gods with the ancient poetic forms!

Now, for the first time in perhaps hundreds of years, here is a vast new collection of liturgical poetry for honoring the Aesir and Vanir in the alliterative meters that the Gods and their worshippers used in the Viking Age. To the Gods, poetry is a precious mead — brewed from honey and the blood of wisdom — which was brought to Asgard by Óðinn himself. Isn’t it only fitting that you offer them some of that mead in your rites?

Inside, you will find poetry for hallowing ritual space, telling stories from the mythology, inviting the Gods and other holy beings to your blessings, dialogue for ritual dramas, praise poems for the Gods and others, sumbel toasts, prayers, and more.
