Its contents range from the practical to the profound, from the everyday to the deeply occult, all presented in the voice of the god Odin (Óðinn) as guidance for humankind, his creations. Featuring original art from Katie Metcalfe and Jacqui Alberts, newly introduced by scholar Lyonel Perabo, and with commentary from philologist Joseph S. Hopkins, this beautiful new edition presents three celebrated translations of the text beside its original Old Icelandic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hyldyr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67709566812405,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/9201\/4325\/files\/IMG_2825.jpg?v=1792099273","url":"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/products\/the-comparative-havamal","provider":"Dark Star Magick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
