D. Jonathan Jones weaves a sacred set of words. The Songs is a celebration of the fire and ice of Midgard—embracing all that is abstract and sensuous, all that is hot and cold, all that is iron and air. Bringing together the influences of The Havamal, Beowulf, Nietzsche, Crowley and the esoteric teachings of The Rune Gild, The Songs are 27 paeans to blood and spirit. Eminently suitable for quiet reflection and as eminently suited for ritual use.
Unfailingly symbolic—from the images, and words chosen, to the format of each song (9 syllables per line, 9 lines per song)—The Songs contain poetry that enhance and develop from our European literary traditions. No delicate verse here, though, no mincing lines, no post-modern experiments, just solid, mystic, clearly inspired works. All 27 of them.
The Songs is a companion piece to The Three Paths Through Midgard, but is neither sequel or prequel. Both works are strong enough to stand alone.
RavensHalla is proud to release the first edition on 10-11-2013—a date that adds to 9.
