I have heard people refer to the Havamal as the West's Tao Te Ching. This book is full of wisdom, that can help every person. This is great resource for recovering the almost lost wisdom, of the West.

This Study version makes it easy to study the Havamal, as quickly or slowly as you want. For each verse, there is a journaling section, where you can write down your thoughts, notes, or whatever else.

I like that there’s multiple translations and the notes. It is helpful to understand, of course good to look into old poetry English to have clear idea. There’s certain things that I personally don’t agree with said “advice” of course this book is never meant to be taken like it is gospel. It helps to look into this book and really make you think if being a Norse pagan the right choice and what you stand for morality wise

Seeing multiple translations allows the reader to better understand each passage. The lined pages allow you to take notes on your thoughts or your own deductions as you go.
Filled with great advice and some cringey passages, although the good far outweighs the bad. A good edition that I highly recommend.

Pretty standard copy of the Havamal, with the strength being that there are 3 translations and each opposing page is for notes. I will probably not write in my book, but having the option available is a cool idea.

This book is a great way to actually get into the messages that The High One was trying to share with humans. It would be 5/5 if they had picked a different translation from Bellows (his and Thorpe's are very similar, but Bellows is slightly more archaic sounding)

Good read

Informative if one has an open mind some parts were a little hard to decipher but all in all a rather god read into understanding paganism
