Invoking the name of hunger and its tools to fulfill one's desires.
lyrics
Grógaldr, stanza 4:
"Löng er för,
langir ro farvegar,
langir ro manna munir,
ef þat verðr,
at þú þinn vilja bíðr,
ok skeikar þá Skuld at sköpum."
Obsidious, Membross, ok Gremnîrhaitir!
Gouged Lord, Grey-Eye
Reacher, Reaver
Ear-In-Shadow
Mist of Madness
Nature's Maw
Infinite Hunger, Inktide
Reacher, Reaver
Teeth in the Darkness!
Gather, clouds!
Hither, hither, come, to the meek and bold.
Hither, hither, come, march and thunder fall.
Hither, hither, come, to the meek and bold,
Hither, hither, come, and wyrd remold.
Obsiðious, Organ-String,
In appetance aches from pain,
Bellowing ballads of burden!
Membross, Hammer of Hunger
Master of manifest forms
Battle-crazed and bloody-faced,
Born from Gremnîr's storm!
Gather one, gather all,
His Galdr reaches deep
To bowel of Being's gut.
Voice within, venom-fed,
In vehemence it growls
To carnage yet enclosed,
To cravings kept captive.
Thus is the name of Hunger:
Gebo - Giver
Raidho - Traveler
Ehwaz - Trusted
Mannaz - Supporter
Naudhiz - Desired
Isa - Deceiver
Raidho - Ever searching
Gremnîrhaitir!
