Overview
As it's name states this book is meant for those in the Asatru & Heathen community who are looking to understand the words of Odin on a deeper level. Not only is it good for Asafolk but also for people who would like to know more about the Ancient European faith and the values our forefathers held. It is a book not of dogmatism but of common sense wisdom passed down to us from Odin himself. Not only does this book contain the original Havamal ""Hawamal"" from the Codex Regius, but also three English translations to compare. The meaning of a passage will be easier for you to understand with the convenience of several scholarly translations right at your fingertips. Each page contains 4 versions of 1 verse for easy reference. The opposing page to each verse is a journaling page to write down your thoughts and make notes. A valuable resource that has been in need for a long time. Get together with your study group or work alone and dig into the wisdom of the Havamal. For anyone interested in Asatru - Odinism and Germanic Heathenry *** PLEASE NOTE *** You will find in this book that the Stanzas do not always line up. This is due to the various translators choosing to place the stanzas in different locations and is not an error. The publisher has placed the stanzas on the correct page that corresponds with the original Old Norse. Translators often will take creative license with their interpretations and thus you will find these discrepancies. The publisher has gone to great lengths to ensure the proper stanza is on the correct page even though the numbers may not line up. ******

Reviews
Carrie Overton has done an outstanding job putting together this edition of the Havamal. The original Old Norse and three different English translations for each Stanza makes it THE must have version of this book. The added pages for writing personal notes is a particularly nice touch. I very well may need to order a second copy for myself as I've filled the note pages already. Yes, it's a large book but for all Heathens and Asatruar, it's a must have resource. You can tell the amount of work, time, and care that went into compiling this book of wisdom. I've recommended it to everyone I know and will continue to do so. You can't find a better deal at this price either. Keep up the good work and may the gods continue to guide you. Five out of five stars. Amazon Reviewer The original Norse, 3 English translations, and each opposing page is for notes; so, there is a lot of room as you go back over the stanzas again. I have the paperback, and it's still a thick, heavy book. Must have for your library if you're exploring Norse/Germanic Heathenism. James Eckstein
