Description: Lyrics are from Sigerdrivamål (Norwegian: Sigrdrífumál) or Brynhildarljóð which is a heroic poem from The Older Edda; it is the first of the poems in the cycle about Sigurd Fåvnesbane. It teaches us of both healing, shamanism, and the carving and importance of runes, especially in stanza 11. In stanza 11 we see the word "Læknir" - games. We do not have an exact description of which knowledge and qualities it may have had in Norse society. But Greinruner might have been used and carved to treat wounds or diseases. The complete poem is written in a new-fashioned way, depicts a meeting between Sigurd and the Valkyrie Sigerdriva. Sigurd rides through a ring of fire to free a human being who is bound inside. The woman is Sigerdriva, who is struck by sleep magic by Odin. As a thank you for Sigurd's help, she inaugurates him in the magic of runic art.
