American Scandinavian Classics is a straight translation but it also explains and goes in depth about each stanza!

Yes, it really made me goosebumps, what you translated, by the way, the number nine in our country is found in fairy tales and stories told many of them by word of mouth, the number nine was a magic number says to get upset again, to do this thing nine times, and so on, and the main character was given many tasks, some kind of trials and many hardships to go through, whether it meant going to maturity or other things,

The only translation I have is in dutch. It was published in 1938 by Jan de Vries. This guy was philogist and linguist and he was a poliglot and one of most important Germanic studies specialists of the 20th century.He could speak several old germanic languages since he studied them. I personally dont think that these english translations are quiet acurate at all for the ones I checked my self...anyhow nice video :)

I am surprised you didn't mention Carolyne Larrington's translation. I know this is the one Wardruna uses as a source for their lyrics. I have her's and Jackson's, and will eventually get Maria's and some others. It's always good to see the lore from multiple angles.

@@norsemagicandbeliefs8134 I believe her translation, as well as Jackson's, are the two most highly recommended. A lot of the older translations are written in an English that is almost foreign to modern times. Very dry or difficult to read and/or understand. Thanks for replying!

@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger3 жыл бұрын
@@Mr.MarcusMario I think it is alright, but I believe it is very dated with an older English style, so dry and difficult for people to wrap their brains around in 2021. Some people lose the meaning in translation trying to get the word-for-word portion down, which can make old stories almost unreadable in English.

@norsemagicandbeliefs81343 жыл бұрын
Yea why not! I always tell everyone to do some research into their own ancestral history also, just because these myth may feel more at home with us. But we all had beautiful pagan religions at one point and they were not that different. And we can all work together to fill in the blanks of what we dont know. I look at hellenic and native american paganism all the time to fill in some blanks about the norse.

Jackson Crawford has many incorrect translations that distort some of the meaning of the poems. An example is in the Havamal stanza 77, where he translates “fé” as “cows” rather than even “cattle” which would suit far better, but also “wealth” as in material/mobile wealth and property. He also translates frændr as “family” when a better translation in context would be “kin” or “kinsmen”. And finally, he also translates “dómr” as “reputation” which obviously isn’t the case, the last line in his translation is “the reputation of the one who died” where a better translation would be “judgement over dead man”. Some of the differences are subtle but when the true meaning is used it unlocks a greater level of understanding.

I love the Bayeux tapestry of the Normans which saves the tree's it is a bit of cloth that is simple to understand because it uses illustrations with fewer words and I don't like the new age proper English history books that conflict with Norse Saga's or the Bayeux tapestry for such proper English books are made from excessive deforesting of tree's to create new age conflictive contradictions.
