"Great Wolf of the Iron Wood, Breaker of Chains, I call to you who was bound by the fear of the gods. Grant me the strength to snap the ties that hold me back, The fire to face injustice with a burning heart, And the wisdom to know when to act and when to wait. Hrodvitnir, teach me to be wild but not lost, Bound no more by the lies of those who fear my power." EBSCOhttps://www.ebsco.com
When you whisper a under your breath before a difficult meeting, before leaving an abuser, or before starting your own personal Ragnarök, you are not asking for a savior. You are reminding yourself that the chain is an illusion. Your teeth are real.
Finally, the dwarves forged Gleipnir—a silken ribbon made of six impossible ingredients (the sound of a cat’s step, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, and the spittle of a bird). Suspicious, Fenrir agreed to be bound only if one god placed their hand in his mouth as a pledge of good faith. Tyr, the god of justice and courage, volunteered. When Fenrir realized he could not break Gleipnir, he bit off Tyr’s hand.
