這是一座頗為空曠的圓形九柱大廳,明顯是作為九界的象徵,貼在四周牆壁的高至天花的書架,所有的古老文獻是她從來都不曾見過的,更加是連女王也無權翻閱。她的裙擺拂過地板中央巨大的Ægishjálmr(Helm of Awe),如同是雪花一樣的圖案自古以來一直也帶有強大的守護魔力,她站在最中心的圓圈之中,古老的歌謠如此自然不過地從唇邊溢出。
彷彿每一位Völva也是如此。
Ask veit ek standa, heitir Yggdrasill hár baemr, ausinn hvíta auri; taean koma döggvar tærs í dala falla; stendr æ yfir grœnn Urear brunni. (Ash I know standing, named Yggdrasill, a lofty tree, laved with limpid water: thence comes dew that in dales fell; standing evergreen over Urd’s well.) Taean koma meyjar margs vitandi trjár, ór teim sal er und tolli stendr; Ure hétu eina, aera Vereandi, skáru á skíei, Skuld ina trieju; tær lög lögeu, tær líf kuru alda börnum, örlög seggja. (Thence comes maidens, much knowing, three, from the hall under tree stands; Urd hight the first, the second Verdandi, they ash-tablets graved, Skuld hight the third; they laws made, they life selected; all the children they destiny say.)[1]
