Vafþrúðnismál - A Reading
Vafþrúðnismál (Vafþrúðnir's Sayings) | The Poetic Edda
Translated by Carolyne Larrington | Recorded by Folkbuilder Nicholas Rice
Vafþrúðnismál is part of the collection known as the "Völuspá hin skamma" or the "Short Völuspá," and it takes the form of a dialogue between Odin and the giant Vafþrúðnir.
The narrative begins with Odin disguising himself as Gagnráðr and visiting the giant Vafþrúðnir. Odin challenges Vafþrúðnir to a wisdom contest, and they take turns asking each other questions.
The questions cover various aspects of Norse cosmology, mythology, and the fate of the world. Odin, using his cunning, seeks to extract knowledge from Vafþrúðnir while revealing as little as possible about himself.
The questions touch upon the creation of the world, the origins of gods and giants, and the ultimate fate of the cosmos, including the events leading up to Ragnarök. Vafþrúðnir displays impressive knowledge but eventually fails to answer one crucial question posed by Odin.
The poem concludes with the revelation of Odin's true identity and his departure from Vafþrúðnir's hall.
Vafþrúðnismál is notable for its exploration of Norse mythology and cosmology through the format of a wisdom contest. The questions and answers provide insights into the nature of the Norse universe, the interplay between gods and giants, and the inevitability of Ragnarök. The poem highlights Odin's role as a seeker of knowledge and the lengths to which he goes to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.
