The Alchemy of the Viking Ways

Alchemy, in Norse Pagan Asatru,
Is the art of transformation, true.
From lead to gold, and base to pure,
The alchemist seeks to cure
The ills of self and world around,
By changing all that can be found.

In Norse philosophy of the runes,
Alchemy holds a special place.
For in the Norse cosmos structure,
Change is the very nature
Of all things great and small,
In a cycle that never falls.

The Viking way of life and thought,
Reveres the power that alchemy’s brought.
For in the runes and in the earth,
The power of change has great worth.
To craft and shape, to bend and mold,
Is the way of the Norse of old.

So if you seek the Norse alchemist’s art,
Look to the runes and to your heart.
For the power of change lies within,
And with it, you can begin
To transform the world and yourself,
In the Norse Pagan Asatru way, and nothing else.
