  • nonsequently: odin’s sacrifice, by pete white. 2000. woodcut. “I know that I hung on a windy tree nine long nights, wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin, myself to myself, on that tree of which no man knows from where its roots run. No bread did they give me nor a drink from a horn downwards I peered; I took up the runes, screaming I took them, then I fell back from there”. -rúnatal, from hávamál, trans. carolyne larrington. I’m the idiot who forgot that the Havamal was collected in the Poetic Edda. Two of everything, please?

    odin’s sacrifice, by pete white. 2000. woodcut.

    “I know that I hung on a windy tree

    nine long nights,

    wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,

    myself to myself,

    on that tree of which no man knows

    from where its roots run.

    No bread did they give me nor a drink from a horn

    downwards I peered;

    I took up the runes, screaming I took them,

    then I fell back from there”.

    -rúnatal, from hávamál, trans. carolyne larrington.

    I’m the idiot who forgot that the Havamal was collected in the Poetic Edda. Two of everything, please?
