Original song by Wardruna: youtu.be/juySs8-KerE
The song is almost entirely in Norwegian, hence why most of it is not transcribed in runes. The one bit in Old Norse at the end comes from “Hávamál”, from the Poetic Edda.
Hel, a realm ruled by Loki’s daughter of the same name, is one of the 5 afterlives in Norse mythology, and the one to which the vast majority of people are destined after they die.
I know a transcription in runes of such a text doesn’t really have any reason to be, if not as a treat, but yeah…that’s just what it is, bear with me.
Any suggestions and/or observations are warmly welcome.
