Voluspa perfume
Branding (Marketing)
Perfume named for 'the mythical Viking story about Thor and Odin. Not just for superheroes, we loved that it is also known as wisdom or the name for a goddess of wisdom.'
The brand trades on the name of the Eddic poem Völuspá.

Níðstang (nīþing pole) Reconstruction at Ribe VikingCenter
Reconstruction
Reconstruction of a Níðstang outside the vǫlva's dwelling in Ribe VikingCenter. The Níðstang was a deeply insulting public act of scorn, and is represented in the sagas as a carved pole covered with a horse's head. The scorn of the níð had to be responded to (by killing the challenger), or it would remain as a deep insult to the target. <br /><br />For more information about the Center, see item <a href="http://www.worldtreeproject.org/document/1007" target="_blank">#1007</a> and the official <a href="http://www.ribevikingecenter.dk/en/home.aspx" target="_blank">website</a>

Reconstruction of a vǫlva's dwelling at Ribe VikingCenter
Reconstruction
This is an interpretative reconstruction of vǫlva (or seeresse's) dwelling at Ribe VikingCenter. This building is inhabited by a re-enactor who holds pagan (or Ásatrú) beliefs, to add to the authenticity of the setting ant the rituals performed. The vǫlva (or 'wand carrier') was held in high regard, and practiced sorcery and prophecy. They are widely depicted in Norse literature including the poem <em>Vǫluspá</em> ('Prophecy of the Seeress'). <span>For more information about the Center, see item </span><a href="http://www.worldtreeproject.org/document/1007" target="_blank">#1007</a><span> and the official </span><a href="http://www.ribevikingecenter.dk/en/home.aspx" target="_blank">website</a>

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TEXT:
Attention I demand from all
the sacred families;
greater and lesser
children of Great World;
You want me, Choice Father
to give a good account
of the most ancient tales
that which I remember best.
I remember giants
born before time
those who in the olden days
had me fostered
Nine worlds I remember
Nine Witches Within Wood
Before the Mead-Tree
sprouted from the ground below
In the beginning was the Wave
where Sound built
was neither sand nor sea,
nor cool little waves
Earth was not,
nor heaven above
The Open Mouth of the
Sacred Descendants was
yet no growth
Before the sons of Storage Chamber
lifted up the lands
they who shaped
the precious Middle World
Sun shone from the south
on the rocks of the hall [=Earth]
then the Earth began to grow
the green plants

Völuspá by Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson
Poetic Edda
This is the opening poem of the Poetic Edda, chanted in a style influenced by rímur tradition by Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson, allsherjargoði (very roughly translated as "high priest") of Iceland's Ásatrúarfélagið (Æsir Faith Fellowship) from 1972-1993.
Völuspá (Prophecy of the Seeress) is one of the major sources for Norse mythology. It tells of the creation of the world, of the wars of the Norse gods, of the creation of humanity and the destruction of the world at Ragnarök (Doom of the Powers).
