A book of poetic stanzas written in a form of gnomic verse, which convey the author's observations about the world, events and people through a viewpoint informed by his family background, academic learning and experiences from childhood to now, including his journey from Roman Catholicism to Asatru. A major inspiration for the form of this book is from the Viking Era poem called the Havamal, which is found in the Poetic Edda.
