Hávamál
Hávamál (English: HAH-və-mahl; "sayings of the high one" and possibly "sayings of the one-eyed"; Old Norse pronunciation: [ˈhɒːwaˌmɒːl], Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈhauvaˌmaul̥]) is presented as a single poem in the Codex Regius, a collection of Old Norse poems from the Viking age. The poem, itself a combination of different poems, is largely gnomic, presenting advice for living, proper conduct and wisdom.
The verses are attributed to Odin; the implicit attribution to Odin facilitated the accretion of various mythological material also dealing with the same deity.For the most part composed in the metre Ljóðaháttr, a metre associated with wisdom verse, Hávamál is both practical and philosophical in content.
Following the gnomic "Hávamál proper" comes the Rúnatal, an account of how Odin won the runes, and the Ljóðatal, a list of magic chants or spells.
