The Prophecy
The Prophecy is an ancient poem from Scandinavia, often called Voluspa, which literally means “the prophecy of the seerees” and describes a vision which appears to her. The Prophecy is the story of the creation of the world, as told in the ancient faith of the Vikings. It is also a prophecy about the fate of heaven and Earth.
The Prophecy is not only a unique record about the way people thought and viewed the world in ancient times; The Prophecy is also the most famous and undoubtedly the most beautiful poem from the Viking Age.
