Norse Gods and Goddesses Prose Poems – #34 Mimir
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.











Mimir
Herb-head Mimir. Wisest of all but one he is just a head, he didn’t see that coming. His final duty before Sun rises on a new world will be, “Óðin, go out there and die.” For now, the platter-sitter appears whole in your mind and he can read you like a nursery rhyme. Raise his glass for him
Mimir’s Blame
If the old gods wish wisdom
Then send them Mimir
He is wise and ancient
He is the guardian
All wisdom springs from his spring
Forming a pool for his guardianship
So it was he was sent to the Vanir
He and handsome Hænir
Counter hostages to the Njord clan
Mimir was the wisdom man
He stood at Hænir’s right hand
He advised the less intelligent man
Who got the blame
For the irritation?
Mimir
Power to Please
It could be he had left briefly
To attend to his pool
The axe that was intended
For the head of the handsome one
Swing at him on return
He walked into that one
He walked no more anywhere
His head it was sent
Perhaps Gullvieg flew with it
Óðin received it
Oh how the All-father lamented
The head cradled close
He wailed out
He wailed out the old songs
The wise songs
The nurturing ones
Bathing the head in a herbal secret
He sang from the runes and the old songs
The dead shall have the power of speech
This one
The power to please
With his wisdom
Mimir’s Pool
Mimir is sat by his pool
Mimir the guardian
Mimir the head
Under the root of Yggdrasill
In Jotenheim
Is the Spring of Mimir
Near frost giants
It bubbles and pool forms
Heimdall leaves his horn there.
At the cost of an eye
To the one who paid high
All wisdom it pools here
At Ragnarok
Which his wisdom will survive
He benefits Óðin
With his last advice
“Óðin,
Go out there and die”
Mimir is sat by his pool
Mimir the guardian
Mimir the head
