Gefjun. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

The destinies of mankind,
lie in your great hands,
for you have the foreknowledge
in all that is to come to
these lands.

You are the generous giver,
Sköldr's wife.
You remind us all of the importance of a bountiful harvest,
and what is important in life.

With your four oxen,
ploughing the land,
you showed abundance
could come to Själland.

Loki the trickster,
tried to blacken your name.
Odin reminded him
of your great knowledge
and what would happen
in the end game.

Oh Goddess of fertility
bless this glorious universe.
Help us to remember
your honoured words and verse.

Norse Goddess of Agriculture, ploughing, foreknowledge and fertility: Gefjun.
