Children of Yggdrasil

"An ash I know, | Yggdrasil its name,
With water white | is the great tree wet;
Thence come the dews | that fall in the dales,
Green by Urth's well | does it ever grow."

Hávamál of the Day: 8

8. Happy is he | who hath won him
               the love and liking of all;
for hard it is | one’s help to seek
               from the mind of another man.

Hávamál of the Day: 7

7. The wary guest | to wassail who comes
               listens that he may learn,
opens his ears, | casts his eyes about:
               thus wards him the wise man ‘gainst harm.

Hávamál of the Day: Let’s try this again shall we?

(My sincerest apologies to all of our followers— I have been crazy busy with my second-to-last semester of my bachelor’s degree and haven’t given this blog the attention it deserves! It’s summertime now so I’m going to restart this and if I falter… send me (not the blog, ME) angry asks or something. I give you full permission to yell at me to get off my ass! -Renee)

6. To be bright of brain | let no man boast,
               but take good heed of his tongue:
the sage and silent | come seldom to grief
               as they fare among folk in the hall.
More faithful friend | findest thou never
               than shrewd head on thy shoulders.

My new goblet!  It’s actually a very old and discontinued goblet that was made in 1985.  5 years before I was born!  My boss told me that if I got first in sales he’d give it to me.  Unfortunately I kept fluctuating between 3rd to 1st but because I was never late, sold many heavily priced items, and was one of two people that set up and took down all the time, he gave it to me anyway!  She is the Valkyrie goblet!
