Secret of the Runes
[Seed of Ing] 


[There are two races of gods. The Vanir-gods of Vanaheim belong to an old stock of gods, maybe even older than the Asir. They live on fertile fields and near the sea. They are known for their power over life and happiness and the seed is their symbol. The lord and lady, Frej and Freja, are the rulers of Vanaheim and they are united in the sacred marriage which brings life to the arable and pasture lands. Not known to everyone is the secret lore of witchcraft which the Vanir - gods teach the chosen ones.] 


Take the seed of Frej 
Put it in the sacred soil 
make it come alive 
And fertility will rise. 


Enter Vanaheim 
Where dead will come alive. 


Magic of Freja 
Take you to another world 
By the trance of sejd 
(The) sibyl see into your soul. 


Enter Vanaheim 
And you will know thy self. 


Vana-king and queen, 
Lord and Lady of the gods 
If you sacrifice 
They'll release your fylgia. 


Enter Vanaheim 
And find your totem-beast. 


By the seed of Ing 
(Your) fylgia will take you high 
Find it in your blood 
From the days of Vanir war. 


Enter Vanaheim 
And you will fly in the fair fields 
With the gods, forever.
