The world is a Goddess and the world is a corpse
If you know the stories this does not shock;
The corpse of Ymir is the body of Jörð
The world is full of vaettir and yet is a Goddess
If you know the stories this makes sense;
The body of Jörð holds us and yet, we live within Her
The world is a world and it is many Gods
If you know the stories this is insight;
The world is not one thing to all Beings
The Goddess is a world and is one of countless
If you know the stories this is thoughtful;
The world is not the only place of Gods
The world is a home and it is one of many
If you know the stories this is wisdom;
This world is not the only one we will live in
The world is alive and we are part of it
If you know the stories this is existence;
The world teems with life, as do we
The world is living and it changes
If you know the stories this is evident;
The world shifts, and so will we all
The world is dying and it will die
If you know the stories this is powerful;
The world dies, and is reborn
The world is dead and it will live again
If you know the stories this is Ørlög;
The world is woven, and we are too
The world lives and it will keep on living
If you know the stories this is Wyrd;
The world lives, dies, and lives; so will we, one way or another
