*Important information about my Hávamál Book:

To those of you who have Preordered my upcoming Hávamál Book, I can't thank you enough. The original plan was to release the Hard Copy on the 1st of January, 2025. Quality comes above everything else though, so the new plan is to release the draft version as an eBook on the 1st Jan, gather feedback, and then release the finished version in the first quarter of 2025. If you have any concerns or issues, just send me a DM on instagram and I'll answer any of your questions openly and honestly.

The word Hávamál roughly translates to "The words of the High One"

Háva is the genitive form of hárr, meaning "high," often referring to the god Odin, who is known as the "High One" in Norse mythology. Mál translates to "speech" or "words."

Together they form Hávamál - 'The words of the High One.' Hávamál is my favourite of the Norse Myths, followed closely by the epic tale of Ragnarok. It's a compilation of lessons and wisdoms from Odin, interjected with some rich lore, written in the 1200s. This poem teaches timeless lessons on Hospitality, Worldly Wisdom and Personal Conduct, and many of these lessons are still widely applicable in todays world.

While there are some stanzas which are clearly a product of their time and thus outdated for modern values, there is still a lot to be gained by taking a deep dive into its wisdom.

Which is exactly what I'm doing with my book

I don't believe in locking content behind a pay wall, you'll find a lot of value on this page

Preordering and buying the book is a massive help, but it isn't necessary. The book is just the beginning too, as once I've finished and published it, the money I earn from the sales will effectively be used to buy time from the other aspects of this project I manage.

The end goal for this section of my website is to have a page dedicated to every stanza of Hávamál, where I'll conduct a massive deep dive into the theme presented in each stanza.

Hávamál is a treasure trove of ancient wisdom, offering practical self improvement advice that is still relevant to this day.

While some stanzas may seem outdated or reflective of its time, there are still countless practical lessons to be applied in our modern lives. My mission is to dive deep into each stanza to uncover a message that can explored in the context of modern self improvement. These Deep Dives will be an extension of my Hávamál Book, where I'll explore each stanza in far more detail than I'll be able to in the book.

  • Einarr, a Viking warrior, steps into a bustling mead hall, embodying the wisdom from Hávamál Stanza 1: "At every doorway, you should peer around. Take a good look inside, for you never truly know, just who is a friend, and who is a foe." The Norse Mythology image reflects the importance of caution and discernment when entering unfamiliar spaces, as not all who appear friendly may truly be so.

  • In this serene Norse mythology scene, Einarr sits by a cozy fire with his wife and their loyal wolf, embodying the timeless wisdom of Hávamál Stanza 2. The image reflects the ancient Viking values of hospitality and kindness towards guests. The couple's warm and welcoming nature highlights the Norse tradition of treating others with generosity, as fortune and goodwill are believed to follow acts of kindness, both in Viking times and today.
