Óðsmál


Óðsmál is a research project, starting 1990, conducted 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, the Viking spiritual heritage, "vor forni siður".
The purpose of Óðsmál is to easily make everyone literate on the symbolic language and allegory of Norse Edda poems and myths.

Books

The Óðsmál series were funded by the Icelandic Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in 2011, and Hagthenkir.
