.Hail to the gods!
Hail to the goddesses!
Hail to this fruitful earth!
.
Grant to us
speech and wisdom
and healing hands
as long as we live!
.
Hail to the day!
Hail to the sons of day!
Hail dark night and her sister!
.
Look upon us
with kind eyes
and grant victory
to those before you!
*
From The Lay of Sigdrifa,
a 6th century Viking poem.
