Thank you Sveinn.

I have read your introduction and explanations of the ancient text of
Voluspa (V=F6lusp=E1) many times.
Although the written text is almost 1000 years old, those who can read
Icelandic are able to understand the original text without much difficulty.
 I said understand, but that is only the superficial meaning, in spite of
many learned commentaries that are available.
Given your insight into this ancient tale, it is like a new key is given to
me, which opens up new vistas of understanding.

The poem Voluspa is a mystery to most people, and many have attempted (with
little success) to reveal the hidden meaning.

Your approach is based on a comprehensive knowledge and insight into
cosmology. Without that knowledge it is impossible to throw a light on
this mystery. So with theosophical knowledge it is possible to find the
key to many ancient tales.
Much knowledge and wisdom of the past is hidden in ancient tales and
stories. That will gradually be discovered as the high and broadminded
knowlede grows.

This is much needed work, and I hope you will continue on this task.

Lets use our knowledge for the good of mankind!

Yours,
Sigtryggur Omar Jonsson
