Poetry Contest

make a poem or text about this topic, ode to EIR


One of the Norse forgotten goddesses is EIR, she is described in some of the Eddas and Scaldic poetry. Some believe that she is the one goddess who is closest to the Aesir, the highest gods.

She is related to the Valkyrie and resides in a castle on Lyfjaberg, the healing hill with her eight maidens, hand maidens of Frigg. As a healing goddess she has great power, there are many people who believe Lyfjaberg exists some place North but many use this as a place to visit in doing ceremonial work.
While many argue ceremonial work still takes place and often others, by standers can join these healing ceremonies. Eirs name also appears in a collection of medevial runes.

The Bryggen inscriptions are a find of some 670 medieval runic inscriptions on wood (mostly pine) and bone found from 1955 and forth at Bryggen (and its surroundings) in Bergen, Norway. It has been called the most important runic find in the twentieth century.

The Crystal of Love

Something touched the soul deeply
when seeing her in the Eddas,
something magical, an ineffable charm.
Eir, the sublime figure,
in the heart of an epic tale
bathed in light and mysticism.
Your look, a promise of healing,
of wisdom and courage.
 
The Valkyries, celestial warriors,
are the symbol of strength,
of courage, of kindness.
Eir, above all, an emanation of grace.
I love her because she is a divine mystery,
a link between the world of men and the gods.
It is the reverence for beauty,
by strength, by compassion.
 
Every Valkyrie is a vibrant flame,
a star in the firmament of mythology.
They are the spirit of battle,
the vital breath that guides heroes to Valhalla.
Eir, in essence, is the personification of healing,
of protection, of the original essence,
a guardian who embraces with fierce tenderness.
 
Love for them is not just a distant admiration,
but an intimate connection,
an identification with your noblest qualities.
They are a reflection of human aspirations,
an inspiration to live with bravery and a pure heart.
 
And by loving them, by loving Eir,  
we are celebrating what is most sacred
and eternal in human and divine nature.
It's a dance between worlds,
a tale that continues to resonate,
a love that transcends time and space.
