WHAT DOES VOLUSPA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Völuspá

Völuspá (Old Norse Vǫluspá, Prophecy of the Völva (Seeress); Modern Icelandic, reconstructed Old Norse ) is the first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end related by a völva addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. Henry Adam Bellows proposed a 10th-century dating and authorship by a pagan Icelander. He also assumes the early hearers would have been very familiar with the "story" of the poem and not in need of an explanation. The poem is preserved whole in the Codex Regius and Hauksbók manuscripts while parts of it are quoted in the Prose Edda. It consists of approximately 60 fornyrðislag stanzas.
