Hello;
I joined this list this morning, having seen it recommended by a
friend on another list.
My name is Bob, and I am joined the list to help further my studies
in a different area. I am a pagan and study the Northern Ways. This
includes the study of runes.
In order to understand the runes, one must also understand the ways
of the Norse, and this (to some degree) is best done by studying the
writings of the time. While I have read texts such as the Havamal, the
versions I have read were translated by others, and there are quite a
few discrepencies in the interpretations I have found.
As one who believes each man discovers his/her own truth, I thought
perhaps learning the language might aid me in interpreting these works
and in drawing my own conclusions.


Bob
