For our February meeting we will read and discuss Völuspá (Prophecy of the völva/seeress).
We will aim to meet at Frontier on the 2nd Sunday of the month (Sunday, 2/12/2023) with the primary discussion / public portion of the meeting starting around 5:30 PM.
In the early 1980s, Sveinbjorn Beinteinsson, whom I mentioned at the most recent meeting, did a rímur-style recording of Voluspa:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCXKF2xwh3YAlso, Sequentia has a pretty fun performance of the poem broken into three tracks on their album Edda - Myths from Medieval Iceland. A few folks have combined the tracks into one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ThDhvjYjk&t=39s
Jackson Crawford has a number of videos in which he discusses and reads the poem. One of his introduction videos can be found here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCGZzlR6HZ4
