Frigga's Web - Hagalaz' Runedance

Silence before the storm

I reach the house hidden by the night

A light I saw I knocked all quietly

I entered;

a woman sat by the spinning wheel

«What brings you here my child», she asked?

«Don't you know our lady keeps her secrets well?»

It’s my life I am running from

It’s my fate I am hiding from,

Oh, would the Goddess speak to me?

Her ways I don’t understand, the mysteries that I must know,

Oh, would the Mother see through me?

«Why don’t you rest my child», she said, «I will seek her advice,

I will wake you when it’s time»

All night by the spinning wheel, she sang an ancient tune and in the morn' her

work was done

In the distance I heard a call, I awoke and I held the spindle in my hand

My other hand it held new life, the Goddess had been by my side and her

blessing was mine.
