In this poetry collection you will find the meanings of the Anglo-Saxon runes, revealed in a verse for each. Here also are new riddles on old subjects, some jokey bawdery, respect for the old gods, bewilderment at the priests of the new Christ-god, what it's like to hang on a tree for a long time - and the tree's viewpoint - and, as befits a bard from a strange folk in the Halls of the Heathens - a praise-poem telling present-day Heathens how wonderful they all are.
