Epitychia

Acadain Foods. Hestia might find fit and perfect
might she find thyme to set before her servants?
The shore were Neptune watches the beauty's: 
who makes show to his liking. There might Hestia
ask Pluto to bless me with favor, and she must ask
Tyche for my luck and future. We wish to endeavor
as owners of the lighthouse, In spring might we 
feed the hungry. In summers might we entertain. In
Fall might we share harvest, and in winter might
we look to tomorrow until spring.Might Hestia
 find us worthy.In her sight might what we offer
 be pleasing: and might Vishvakarman bless us
with both place to worship and residence.
So that Hebe-hebe's cup might over flow with
honey and nectar: to stain the golden floors of
Ceraon and Matton! In the ears of a pleased
Bragi and Meret who might sit quiet to listening
to beautiful music and song!
Gestin must smile in delight as she kisses Lono
that he has found his true love blessed by Hathor
might he be alone no more: but with her in love!

Bragi and Kui

Premium Member Glows Like Golden Grain - the Bragi Style

~Glows Like Golden Grain ~
( Bragi )

Beautiful first spring day
Bountiful sun but then may rain
Enticing spring is here again at last 
Each ray of sun illuminates so fast
Bright sunshine glows like golden grain
Glad spring shines bright this day.

Butterfly dance here and there fast
Most beautiful springs here again
The airs so mild today
The sky is blue and clouds hide and play
So lovely the sun rays sustain
And to all its beams of warm light it cast.

Premium Member Valkyrie Three

This female three
Of Norse myth
Bring their chosen ones
To be with
 
The fallen ones
In the afterlife hall of the slain
Where in Valhalla
They will remain
 
These daughters of royalty
With their ravens so black
To be with their warriors
Who can't go back
 
These einherjar
Bravely, in battle died
Where they feast on the Saehrimnir 
Viking pride
 
Herja, Svipul
Herfjotor, the three
Attested to 
Norse Mythology
 
The chooser of the slain
These Valkyrie select
To live with the gods
Ultimate elect
 
As they enter the hall
Beside Odin and Thor
Baldr, Bragi 
And Dellingr
 
Not to become gods
But in Norse afterlife
To die by the sword
In battle strife
