Gangleri sought Völvas’ ways | and to Folkvangr came,
seeking the wisdom of Gefn;
She pierced Him through | and taught Him well,
In woman’s dress He learned
Well-wrought the lessons | at Skjálf’s feet
By fire and distaff spun,
Prophecy and power | came to Grimnir’s call
Who learned Hörn’s ways
Sviðurr He left | Freya’s golden hall,
ranging wide in Ve and stride;
Doors closed were open | ways unseen shown bright,
No thing held from Odin’s path
