Yet these are still poems where the gods live, and Óðroerir, the Mead of Poetry, is a real, vivifying force that flows through both words and worlds. All of his poems are much more personal this time. They include his reflections on the mission for traditional poetry in today's world, living abroad for grad school, politics, esotericism, rune work, spirituality, trees, depression, love, sex, and the infamous sun wheel design from Wewelsburg Castle. This is poetry with a message and an orientation toward transcendence: a Traditionalist perspective from seeking the Mysteries and the Grail. And all of it is in modern English versions of traditional Old English and Old Norse alliterative meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eirik Westcoat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947407163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947407169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skaldic Eagle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Eirik Westcoat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520120631551,"sku":"9781947407169","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4c74d5f-408e-4767-a38c-db7513e7ab95.jpg?v=1778740870","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shining-mead-eirik-westcoat-9781947407169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
