I love “Wanderer’s Hávamál”. Thanks for including the Cowboy version.
Hey Jackson, hope your troubles have mostly sorted themselves out. Thank you again for your work.
Some things worth saying just might need to be said again.
One of my absolute favorites in literature. Thank you again, Dr. Crawford!
I love the Wanderer's Havamal, it captures both the ancient wisdom and down to earth homeliness. I wish I could show my own grandfather this, but he's gone on to other places. He taught me many of the lessons you've read and written here. Thank you for bringing back pleasant memories and sharing your gifts with us, Dr. Crawford!
Thank you for the reading, and the genuine warmth in your voice. Hoping for many more worthwhile sunsets.
I really enjoyed the cowboy version. I can imagine a Rooster Cogburn seated across from me in the dusty corner of the tavern bar sharing me his wisdom and calling me a damned fool.
Hoping whatever can go well does go well with whatever these recent troubles are.
greetings from sweden love your modern translation
hard times here in old viking country nowdays but will try to support your channel love your work and i did got engage with a viking girl on the 21 of june in frejas vally here in svealand on the "ting" stone where vasa raist the dala army to make the swedish nation 500 years ago and yes the river runs towards the north
Nice way of keeping the memory alive of the man you clearly adored.
I just wanted to share that you're reading of this inspired me, and I am grateful that you're out there. Good luck on everything you do.
A powerful reading and insightful heartfelt interpretation of what we love best. Thank You!
As a new subscriber to your channel, I've been thoroughly enjoying the abundance of knowledge you have to offer. I would like to share my sincerest apologies for the loss of your family home, and I'm glad to see that you're allowing your grandfather to live on in such an interesting and unique take on Old Norse poetry. Thank you for what you're doing, and I hope you continue to see success with it. Wishing you all the best from my drab, mountain-less homeland.
Im new to all this. Thank you!
Great reading Jackson I'll have to check out that book. Reading is the main hobby of a night security guard id say
It's 9pm and I'm Australian but I feel like I should be wearing my hat.
Reminds me of Firefly. Just picked up the Wanderer’s Havamal. Enjoying it. Really like the Cowboy’s. Trying to read the Old Norse as well, but just for the sounds. What is the symbol you use for the word “man”? It looks like a trident? Don’t know how to say that one.
You could make a video about the sàmi languages
How’s it go? ‘Don’t praise the ice until it’s crossed, not the beer until you’re sloshed?’ 😊
Thr funny thing is he says sloshed in his non-cowboy translation too lmao
I can tell just how you read the words that you are thinking of your grandfather. I miss mine too. Thank you Mr. Crawford for this book. Not only does it teach wisdom but it takes me back to when my elders where alive, telling me things i wouldnt understand until later in life.
The Cowboy Havamal is becoming my favorite work of yours the more I read it/listen to it. It reminds me of someone I knew a long time ago.
Doc, This is one of my literary favorites. Thanks for posting a great reading of your work!
You're a fool if you think you can predict what sort of sunset you'll get. Thanks for the reading.
PS: The link to the Hackett Publishing page for the Wanderer's Havamal page is broken, both in the Description above and on your personal website
Can we get an audio book of this read by Sam Elliott?
That this is such universal wisdom and not just exclusive to the Norse/Vikings is why I connect with Odin so well. And that he made his own mistakes makes him so grounded and human and can speak from experience. As usual love your content Jackson. And btw, whatever troubles you're going through right now you will get through it! Keep your head up!
I love your translation. I share it with my students whenever appropriate! THANK YOU.
This is now my favorite version. Thank you for sharing.
Love this version of Havamal. It's like Marcus Aurelius' Meditations but concise and pithy.
Your videos get me through sometimes sir,I’m currently reading your translation of the Poetic Edda it’s much easier to read than the other copy I have. Thank you and all the best.
266k subs is nothing scoff at mate.
I hope you read through comments and see/feel the QUALITY of your followers.
Personally; I'd choose quality over quantity any day. That's also why I'm here :)
need Johan Hegg reading from Crawford's Poetic Edda, that speaking voice is amazing
Very interesting concept. I've come across two different variations on modern interpretive translations / retellings of older works. This one and one of Tacitus' Germania. The retelling of Germania was read in such a snobbish and off putting way that I wanted to stomp on the reader's head. I don't think Tacitus was as snobbish towards the Germans, and in every other translation, despite the clear and appropriate bias in favor of Rome, and against Germans, I never felt insulted reading any other translation.
Needless to say I think this "Cowboy's Havamal" was a much better experience. It's fun to see the correlations between a Germanic person from 2000 years ago, in the woods, living off the wilderness, or maybe on the outskirts of Rome, or even as Foederati, and comparing it to a more modern Germanic man in America.
Some things change, and some are eternal, and seeing the comparisons and contractions is fun.
Ah! Now I am hearing the spirit of the thing. Thank you! So. Do you have a video of you reading the original old Norse? I totally would listen to that many times.
I've read it and watched the other vids, can't get enough of this version I guess cause it sounds like my grandfather also. They were the Greatest Generation.
Cowboy Hávamá, is a great version of the Hávamál, love it. :)
Request: "Diggy Diggy Hole" in Old Norse.
So touching!
That lone pine tree at the edge of town … love that tree 🌲 🩶
What a great night in 2012! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Doc! Love your work as a ways. SKOL!🤘
Yes you sound like you would fitt in here. Welkome over the water!
Another great reading old son. Your efforts are appreciated.
Sounds like my granddad (born on a Alberta wheat farm in 1907).
Your grandfather June Crawford?
Is he ok? It just seems like he’s a bit down.
I need that book... ❤
Bless, Doc.
This was good. Thank you.
I read along with my copy of Jackson's Poetic Edda and damn that was powerful
Thanks as always, Dr. I finally bought the book. I wish you a good summer.
This was the best. That was so much wisdom from all of our past generations.
Always my favorite composition!
I really enjoy this reading, and never seem to get tired of this.
That's the best version I ever listen too.
Grandfathers have such grandfatherly names! Thanks for this!
Awesome thank you
