Norse Gods and Goddesses Prose Poems – #4 Augelmir

A stunning new approach to the myths the Vikings loved; enlightening and challenging for the novice and veteran alike.

The Gods and Goddesses of the Nordic Mythos Prose Poems were created following research for Gods Bless Ya!! Rock Opera with Alda and Sigrun Bjork Olafsdottir and a forth-coming book with SigRun Viking Art & Design.

Augelmir

First life

First life is Augelmir

Gigantic he is from before

Stepping out of the water ways

The weapon-shaped ice waters

The promise-breakers fast rivers

The chopping sea

The Rocking Ocean

The torrents and the slow ice

Water falling flowing is from the beginning

Countless winters before there was earth here to flow upon

Such inundation flowed

And in it was collected

The sordid foul inklings of what might one day walk here

In the depths here where waters first flow

Here there came evil

Dirt and all poison are readied for their role on earth

Out of them first life

From the very venom

So evolved Augelmir

Six-headed offspring emerging

Are nearly as evil as he

Sweat from him forms offspring

To go out into life and bring suffering

They are not as strong and as wilful as he

Augelmir birthed from that venom

He was first and

Life is thus
