To Forseti
Jan. 4th, 2006 03:14 pmHail to Forseti, master of Glitnir,
son of bright Balder and faithful Nanna,
wise one, fair one, upholder of justice,
arbiter, mediator, peacemaker,
to you do we turn when grievances
grow great, when tempers grow short
and battles seem unavoidable.
To you do we turn when a cool head,
a steady voice, a calm, reasoned,
balanced point of view are scarce. To you
do we turn for an evenhanded
decision. Forseti, clear-thinking god,
in you we trust for a sound resolution
to the most heated conflict. Hail Forseti!
