Question. Do you find the poetic & prose Eddas invaluable as a means to knowing and reaching out to the gods? Or just a historical treasure, knowing the spiritual preferences of the author?
Do you prefer to bypass them altogether and go directly to the calling on and experiential fathoming of the gods?
Probably none of us here would bypass the Havamal, but if you even prefer to experience the Odinic in ways unbound to that text as a rule, by all means...
