From the ashes arises the sacred lore of the North, the ancient stories and proverbial wisdom of the satr religion. Mighty Gods and fierce Giants battle in the never-ending struggle between order and chaos, while men seek honor and glory in the eyes of their beloved deities. After many years of research and piecing together sources, now comes the first known holy text ever presented for the satr faith. Giving these ancestral accounts in their true, epic form, The satr Edda is designed as a religious work by and for the men and women of this path. In reconstructing this sacred epic, the idea is to create a living storytelling tradition that will honor the legacy of the ancient Teutonic peoples, while providing an in-depth source of satr wisdom for our modern world.

The Othala Edda is the result of the culmination of years of meditation, research and worship of Odin. Within this text you will find a large section of Lays from The Poetic Edda translated into modern-day English with comprehensive notes on each stanza. I have also included interpretations of sections of The Heimskringla to provide a historical insight into our religion. It was my goal to create a text which encompasses what I believe to be "Essential Odinism". This work took several grueling months to write, review, and format. We had the help of great artists Dan Moreschi and Tony Sahara who also helped us with our first book "Odin's Chosen: A Handbook of Asatru". This is a great book for anyone, whether you are beginning to read the Lays or have read the Lays and need an extra hand in deciphering those Lays. We hope everyone enjoys reading this book as much as we did creating it.

The Poetic Edda comprises a treasure trove of mythic and spiritual verse holding an important place in Nordic culture, literature, and heritage. Its tales of strife and death form a repository, in poetic form, of Norse mythology and heroic lore, embodying both the ethical views and the cultural life of the North during the late heathen and early Christian times. Collected by an unidentified Icelander, probably during the twelfth or thirteenth century, The Poetic Edda was rediscovered in Iceland in the seventeenth century by Danish scholars. Even then its value as poetry, as a source of historical information, and as a collection of entertaining stories was recognized. This meticulous translation succeeds in reproducing the verse patterns, the rhythm, the mood, and the dignity of the original in a revision that Scandinavian Studies says "may well grace anyone's bookshelf."
