Elemental by Sorn

Feather-skin flying swift                   falcon road Riding once-roaring skies                 raptor glides, Grants space in goddess-hall,         gives new life, Lends form and luck to the               Lofty One.

Walks-the-Air, Wakes the Gods;     wild the seas, Seals war for sea kidney,                   sink and bite; Brising’s gem brought shining;         bright the land, Lifting up leeks’ dark bed,                 Lady’s gold.

Glittering, gleaming tears:               gone the man, Mengloð walks Mimir’s tree,            Miðgarð’s trails; Trammeled heart triumphant,           trust and faith Finds serpent’s fertile rest               fecund, green.

Great are the gifts Mardoll               gives her folk: Fire in air. Fire in sea.                       Fire in land. Love’s flames that leap and play,    life’s prized blaze: Blot-Gyðja’s blossoms glow,           blessings true.
