Notes

1. A "Yew stave poem" is something I invented: a twenty-four line poem in alliterative metre with the alliterations falling in FUÞARK order, with one rune sound to each line. I have used V for the rune ( W, V ), Y for ( I, Y ), an internal rhyme for ( EI, Î ), ( Z ), and ( NG ). 2. My personal bindrune: Ansuz and Algiz, which represents the bond between God and Devotee. 3. Siðhottr: one of Odin's names meaning 'Broad-brim' or 'Deep hood'. Odin is often described as wearing a slouched hat pulled down over one side of His face to conceal the fact that He is one-eyed.
