Brenda,

Thank you for writing the English text.

Is this text from Voluspa? And if so, then please tell me from
what stanzas.

I am trying to find the first three stanzas of Voluspa, in the
version you have.

The text you wrote can not be the first three stanzas of Voluspa.
Please let me know about this before we continue with this
subject.

You are correct regarding the word As, it is singular. The
plural is AEsir or Asar. ( With a comma above the letter A )

The word As means man-god or in other words it has the same
meaning as the word Arhat.

Asar are of different degrees as the Arhats. Therefore the word
As can mean, Adept or a Chohan.

Regarding the word man-god. It reminds me that the Adepts
Appollonius from Tyana visited in the Himalayas used the same
word. (If my memory serves me right) The word man-god.

Bless,

Sveinn Freyr
