I’m not sure it’s worth $25.00 being such a small book but okay, I’m keeping it for a while. I appreciate the multiple translations within and the source of information, not necessarily the direct source of the translation, but again he gave the people what they requested. I also appreciate the explanation of how to read the texts, but do admit that in 20 more years much of this could change. For now, it’s a classic and a good set of rules that I have lived by for a long time without knowing they were written in a book by my old friend the Wandering Madman.
Until next time.

Best version of Havamal EVER!
I adore Professor Jackson Crawford. He is a language professor who teaches Old Norse and the Scandinavian languages. He personally went to the original documents and translated the sagas and Eddas himself and explains the way the words were used at the time. He is respectful and when he realizes after further study, he was in error in an earlier translation, he corrects it in a later one. (He did a correction in this book about a line in one of his translations in one of his previous books). To me, it shows he is a true educator, a true scholar. His true intention is instruction and knowledge for the students and not his ego, which only heightens my respect for him (which is pretty hard).I absolutely adore at the back of the book he does the "Cowboy Havamal"> His grandfather June Crawford used to give him advice similar to that of Odin's Words in the Havamal. Jackson would read the Havamal and hear it in his Grandfather's voice. He set his Grandfather's advice in order and style of the Havamal. It is delightful and shows the words of the Allfather are just as applicable today as they were in the Viking age accommodating for the changes in society (Sword/spear for guns). You can go to his youtube channel there are two versions of Jackson reading the Cowboy Havamal, my preference is the one in a Pony Express station.Once you have this book, you can go to Jackson Crawford's Youtube channel and chose the different youtube videos and listen to him read the Havamal and other parts of the sagas and Eddas in old Norse, discuss the culture and deepen your understanding of the culture, religion. It doesn't hurt that his voice is like melted chocolate either, I can listen to it for hours.
