Völuspá is the treasured monolog of a cheeky witch verbally pulverizing Odin by recounting his most painful events--past and future. You guys requested I read some of the The Lore in modern, regular English… so no better place to start than with super foundational Völuspá. It is my second favorite piece of The Lore mostly because of the huge amount of attitude. She is attitude goals. She is a witch with a capital “B”.
