A few pages that survived.
Mjölnir lies diagonally across the field, with lightning bolts running over the whole surface. To this day the week carries the name of the hammer’s god: Thursday is Thor’s day, and in German it is Donnerstag, the day of Donar.
The names in our week
Three names we say every week.
Thursday, Friday and Wednesday still carry names from this world of gods. In German, Donnerstag and Freitag do too, formed on the model of the Roman week, but Mittwoch has lost its old name.
- ThursdayThorThe day of Thor, whose name is the Germanic word for thunder. In German it is Donnerstag, the day of Donar, translated from the Latin day of Jupiter.
- FridayFriggThe day of the goddess Frija, called Frigg in the North, modelled on the Latin day of Venus. Her name is in Friday and in the German Freitag.
- WednesdayOdinWednesday kept the older name, the day of Wodan, called Odin in the North, as did the Dutch woensdag and the Swedish onsdag. In German it gave way to Mittwoch, the middle of the week, a name created by the Church.
Merseburg · 10th century
Two charms, not found until 1841.
In the 10th century, two charms were written in an Old High German dialect on the front of a leaf. The manuscript is held in the cathedral chapter library in Merseburg.
In 1841 the historian Georg Waitz found the lines in the library of the cathedral chapter, and the following year Jacob Grimm called the manuscript a “treasure”.
According to the cathedral chapter, they are the only pagan incantations preserved in Germany and the only known Old High German record that shows figures of this world of gods in action: Wodan, Balder, Friia, Volla, Sunna, Phol and Sinhtgunt.
“Phol ende Uuodan uuorun zi holza.” Phol and Wodan made their way into the wood.
Iceland · around 1220
A textbook for young poets.
Around 1220 the Icelander Snorri Sturluson, 1179 to 1241, wrote his Edda. According to Britannica, it was meant to teach young poets the difficult metres and to make the old material understandable to a Christian age.
Two of its parts are called Gylfaginning, “The Beguiling of Gylfi”, and Skáldskaparmál, “The Language of Poetry”. For his account of the gods, Snorri cites poems that also appear in the Codex Regius.
Codex Regius · 45 leaves
A book on which the poems depend.
A parchment book from the late 13th century, its scribe unknown. According to the Árni Magnússon Institute, it is the oldest and most important surviving collection of Eddic poems, and most of the poems exist nowhere else but here and in copies of it.
At the front stand the poems about the gods, headed by the Völuspá. Nothing is known of the book’s path until 1643, when Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson wrote his initials and the year into it; eight leaves were already missing.
In 1662 the bishop sent the book to King Frederick III in Copenhagen. It stayed there for more than three centuries.
The third place
Where each figure has come down to us.
- ThorThe National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen holds a soapstone casting mould from Trendgården in North Jutland, from the second half of the 10th century, with cross and hammer in a single mould.
- OdinOdin, Wodan, Woden and Wotan are names of one god. In Merseburg he is called Uuodan, and the Codex Regius puts the Hávamál in his mouth.
- FriggOn the page in Merseburg her name appears as Friia.
- LokiAccording to Britannica, the medieval sources attest no cult of Loki, and his name appears in no place name. Most of what is known about him comes from the texts.
- The three NornsThey are the three Norns of the Völuspá, the poem that opens the Codex Regius.
- SleipnirTradition knows him as Odin’s horse with eight legs.
- FenrirA figure in the poetry of Norway and Iceland in the 10th and 11th centuries.
- GullinburstiThe boar is a figure from Snorri’s Edda.
- Bödvar BjarkiHe is known from Danish tradition and from an Icelandic saga.
- The Viking AgeMost of the poems about the gods were probably composed in the last centuries before Christianity. After that they lived on by word of mouth until they were written down.

Reykjavík · 21 April 1971
On 21 April 1971 the Danish naval ship “Vædderen” docked in Reykjavík. The harbour was crowded as naval officers carried ashore three parcels in brown paper, with the Codex Regius and the Flateyjarbók inside.
The books are back in Iceland and are kept in Reykjavík today. We say the names every week.
“Has the whole population ever gathered with enthusiasm to receive two books?”
