Sea-Bright Freyja, Brising-magic Lady,
Instructor of Seidhr and foresight,
Vanadis Woman, beholden to none,
Maiden of battle and might.
Hair like spun gold cascades down your back.
Windswept, the sun rays it holds.
Bright eyes of blue as deep as the sea
Cry tears of amber-sweet gold.
Valkyrie woman, who claims half the souls
Of Warriors slain in the fray
Of Battle, Might-Maiden, Guardian, Protector,
Who houses these souls in Volkfangr.
Seidhr-Magic Lady, Granter of Visions,
Show us the things yet to come!
Guide us and speak to us, answer our call!
Descend now upon us, your wisdom!
