Poetry Contest Description
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.
