about

(Song/Poem - Old Norse)

“Wealth is a source of discord amongst kin; the wolf lives in the forest.”

Each of the runes of the Futhark also held esoteric or magical meanings which were documented in Anglo Saxon, Old Norse and Icelandic rune poems, dating from the 7th - 15th centuries. This song encompasses all of those messages about “Fé” (material wealth), telling of both the joy and strife it may bring.

lyrics

Lyrics (Norse)

Ormen ligg i kveile
i løyndom vakar under
Ei helufallen åker
Strif dom frender råker

Fe vældur frænda rogi
føðesk ulfr i skogi
Fe er firða gaman
Frænda rogu
gravseiðis gata

Lyrics (English)

The snake lies coiled
Hidden, it waits beneath
A frost-covered field
Strife that kinsmen suffer

Fe causes strife amongst friends
The wolf feeds in the forest
Fe is joy to man
strife among kin
path of the serpent
