To Odin

[hearthstone]

Hail to Odin, wise and knowing Allfather,
lord of sturdy, broad-halled Valhalla;
lord of brave warriors and cunning mages;
winner of runes, seeker of wisdom;
master of incomparable Sleipnir;
husband of flawless Frigga, well-matched woman;
father of shining Balder, best of gods;
brother of the clever son of Laufey!
Traveler, making your way through the worlds,
always learning, always planning, always
with your eye on the ultimate goal,
seeker of new paths, finder of loopholes,
strategist, charmer, defender, magician,
endless are your manipulations,
subtle your methods, intricate your schemes,
your art and guile are without equal,
your focus on the needful well known to all.
Odin, with wit as sharp as any sword,
with judgment as deep as any chasm,
with strength to bear any misfortune,
we honor your commitment to survival,
your endless gathering of knowledge,
your unfaltering drive toward victory.
Hail to Odin! Hail the far-seeing one!
