Hail to my lord,                               flickering flame of Asgard,

Burning brand of Jotunheim.          Hail to you,

Laufey's son, Scar-lip,                    Sky-traveler, Giants'-son,

Mother of Sleipnir, Wolf's-sire,       father of Hela and Jormungand.

 

Hail to you, Shapeshifter,              skilled thief and magician,

Always surprising                          with your sly, bold ways;

Bringer of unforeseen gifts,           bringer of changes,

Bringer of endings                         and new beginnings.

 

Hail, my beloved                            who speaks unwelcome truths.

Dazzling, daring,                            delightful Fool and Trickster,

Your speech stings the unwary,     like shards of a shattered mirror.

Your wit cuts deep                         as a drawn and deadly sword.

 

Hail to you, Flame-hair,                  consort of Angrboda,

Beloved husband of Sigyn,             Odin's true blood-brother,

Thor's friend and companion,         lover of gods and giants,

Brilliant, bright-eyed,                      too beautiful to resist.

 

Hail to you, ever-defiant                 Breaker-of-Worlds,

Wielding your own wyrd,                faithful to your sworn word,

Aware of your own honor,              with honor accorded by few,

Enduring the world's scorn              until the Nine Worlds' end.

 

Hail Loki, lightning-born                   child of the Iron Wood.

Fire of my living heart,                      fire of my soul's hearth,

God-husband, Elder Kin,                   bright as a thousand burning stars,

Dark as the deep forest                    that lies fearsome in shadow.

 

Hail Loki, Laufey's son,                      flickering flame of Asgard,

Burning brand of Jotunheim.             Hail to you,

Clever stealer of treasures,              wild Father-of-Monsters,

Ever changing the world,                  now and forever.
