Healing Mountain

Rise from your mind and let it ride and run
With blind eyes, you will find the way
Deeply draw the breath in – let thoughts fade
Slowly release the spirit – riding in the wind
 
Spin spider – twist in thoughts, whirl in sight
The seid song, softly it beckons mind and soul
Open the door, reveal the hidden veils
Step forward with bare feet, carrying the heavy burden
 
Within your inner self, a path awaits steeply
High up on Lyvjarnut, nine maidens stand
 
At the first place where paths intersect, wait
Shed your clothes, all you own
Where you're heading, they serve no purpose
The burden lightens, ahead awaits a heavier path
 
At the second place where paths intersect, wait
Shed your time, heavy thoughts
Where you're heading, they serve no purpose
The burden lightens, ahead awaits a heavier path
 
At the third place where paths intersect, wait
Shed your fear, lay down your mask
Where you're heading, they serve no purpose
The burden lightens, ahead come the heaviest steps
 
Naked on the summit, the mountain knows you
The northern wind slaps its eagle wings, the wind pulls
Around you, female shadows dance
Enchanting runes, speak and summon, envelop you
 
Sickness and wounds
from marrow and bone
from flesh and blood
from skin and hide
in weather and wind
out you vanish
I summon you into the blue mountain
where neither sun nor moon shines upon you
I summon you to the forest where no one dwells
and to the sea where no one rows
deep under solid rock
where no one's claim
through the flowing river
turning towards the sea
 
In weather and wind
out you vanish
Neither sun nor moon
shines upon you
Sink in the sea where
no one rows
In the flowing river,
turning towards the sea
 
Lyvjaberg has always stood
as comfort for the sick and wounded
Every one who climbs the mountain
is healed from lifelong sickness
 
Leave it behind on Lyvjaberg
Noble where all rivers,
bend steadfastly north and down
The one who can, the mountain saves
