About the Design of the “Havamal Poem” T-Shirt
Explore the beauty of medieval mystique with this shirt, a precious ticket that transports you to the world of ancient mythology, where poetic verses echo through aspects of people’s lives.
At the core of the design lies a meticulously arranged line of text inscribed in Old Norse, extracted from the 77th stanza of the “Hávamál,” a collection of poems falling under the Eddaic poetry category. Translated to English as “Words (or Songs) of the High One,” the poem itself is attributed to the supreme god Odin, offering teachings and advice on life, religion, morality, and philosophy.
In English, the stanza conveys a powerful message:
“Cattle die,
Kinsmen die,
The self dies likewise;
I know one thing
That never dies:
The repute of each of the dead.”
With its clear and relatively simple language, it is a reminder that while everything in life may perish and fade with time, the glory and fame of each endure eternally. Thus, it urges individuals to live beautifully, righteously, and ethically through the ages to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
If you resonate with the profound message of this garment, let’s transform it into a tool to spread these noble values far and wide. Particularly for enthusiasts of Old Norse culture, the design featuring two shapes of three triangles intertwined, a symbol closely associated with Odin, will allow you to express your fondness proudly.
