If you've been looking for the essentials of modern Heathenry in a compact form, the Pocket Heathen was created for you. Slim enough to slip into a full backpack or your laptop case when you're on the go, its pages are packed with information: a newly updated Olive Bray translation of The Hávamál, The Prophecy of the Wise Woman, and more; a Glossary of current Heathen terms that makes difficult concepts clear and relevant for today; and a new interpretation of the illustrated World Tree, Yggdrasil, with its Nine Realms and the Runic web it contains, plus the complete Runes of the Elder Futhark.
Olive Bray
Translated by
Olive Bray The Journal of English and Germanic Philology, Vol. 28, No. 4, Oct., 1929 reviewed Olive Bray's translation of The Poetic Edda, stating: 'Miss Bray's work is eminently satisfactory: she possesses a scholar's knowledge of the subject (though she was by no means a specialist in the field); and she had poetic ability of a high order. She nearly always succeeded in reproducing the poetry and the spirit of the old lays and she adhered to the metrical form; to do these things she did not hesitate, to depart from rules of alliteration or sometimes to disregard alliteration entirely.
