Summary: Our 5th Yule celebration night talking about Community what it means to us and it's place within Asatru. We started out with the Havamal Bellows translation. 1. Within the gates ere a man shall go, (Full warily let him watch,) Full long let him look about him; For little he knows where a foe may lurk, And sit in the seats within. 2. Hail to the giver! a guest has come; Where shall the stranger sit? Swift shall he be who, with swords shall try The proof of his might to make. 3. Fire he needs who with frozen knees Has come from the cold without; Food and clothes must the farer have, The man from the mountains come. 4. Water and towels and welcoming speech Should he find who comes, to the feast; If renown he would get, and again be greeted, Wisely and well must he act. 5. Wits must he have who wanders wide, But all is easy at home; At the witless man the wise shall wink When among such men he sits. Download Standard Podcasts
