About this listen
A Modern Day Havamal is a fresh and new take on the words of Odin presented in many previous translations. This book is designed to offer the Havamal in a easy-to-understand and current take on the English language. Modern followers of Norse Heathenry, Asatru, and other pagan paths should find this version of the Havamal to be a good listen and deliver the spirit of the words of Odin in a new way.

Ásatrú is a religion that revives, rebuilds, and reimagines the ancient polytheism of Northern Europe. This religious movement officially began in Iceland in 1972, but new iterations of the Old Way quickly spread worldwide, and Asatru is one of the fastest-growing spiritual movements in the United States today.

Story
This book is an exploration of the wisdom in the Viking Age poem "Havamal", specifically as it relates to the average person who isn't a scholar of Old Norse, or even an enthusiast of Viking culture. This book is for the layman, the average person who simply wants to improve their life using proven advice. The poem "Havamal" is earthy, cynical, stoic, and grim in its depiction of human life. Havamal means “The Words of the High One”. The poem's speaker is none other than Odin, King of the Gods, who has traveled the many worlds seeking power and suffered greatly in his quest.

Story
In 1983, Dolores was working with several individuals who volunteered for sessions to help her hone her craft in hypnosis. Over the years she had developed her own technique of hypnosis where the client would go into a very deep state of trance and was able to relive the past life they were seeing. When these individuals went back to a time in the past, it would be like they were actually there. If there was something in our time that was not in their time, they wouldn’t know what you were talking about.

The most translated book in the world after the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, or “Book of the Tao,” is a guide to cultivating a life of peace, serenity, and compassion. Through aphorisms and parable, it leads readers toward the Tao, or the “Way”: harmony with the life force of the universe. Traditionally attributed to Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher thought to have been a contemporary of Confucius, it is the essential text of Taoism, one of the three major religions of ancient China.

okay but seems archaic
Don't get me wrong, this is probably a fantastic translation/summarization but some of the "teachings" contained therein just seem a little archaic by modern standards. don't get me wrong, if you're interested in Vikings and want a little insight into their way of life, this is a great place to start. Just don't expect any groundbreaking truths here...

First “book on tape” I could listen to without tuning out
I have been trying to read this book for years but would always get lost in the names, place names and other words I didn’t know how to pronounce. I figured I’d give an audio version a try, hoping I would be able to pay attention to it. This is the first time it had ever happened.

I've read many translations of the Hávamál. The narrator does an excellent job with the Old Norse pronunciations throughout the book . His cadence is perfect for this material. A very pleasant listening experience.

Worth a listen
Ok, so his take on the Havamal is pretty straight forward. Most of it is presented literally, which it should but then there are times he takes a less the literal take. Like in Stanza 38 being about always having something to protect yourself with you, rather then always having a weapon with you. Thought, the narrator has the voice for this and this a great companion to have along with a physical copy of the Havamal for my son to study from

With so many Havamal translations, why pick this one? The author takes the Havamal and brings it into the modern day with his language choices. The narrator is engaging and correctly pronounces Old Norse words.
