Óðsmál

Óðsmál is a research project, starting 1990, conducted by Guðrún Kristín Magnúsdóttir.[1]

Óðsmál by Guðrún Kristín Magnúsdóttir

The research is done at Guðrún's Óðsmál-research institute, Freyjukettir – Norræn menning, in Iceland. The research is inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation. Guðrún met Maharishi in 1962.

The Óðsmál research is revealed as a series of books and online lectures reflecting many new theories and insights into spirituality, the profundity of meaning inherent in Heathenry, Paganry, Asatru (Icelandic: Ásatrú), the Viking spiritual heritage, "vor forni siður" ("our ancient tradition").[2]

The purpose of Óðsmál is to easily make everyone literate on the symbolic language and allegory of Norse Edda poems and myths.[3]

Books

The Óðsmál series were funded by the Icelandic Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in 2011,[4] and Hagthenkir (the Association of Non-fiction and Educational Writers in Iceland).[5]
