About the product
Hávamál 139–140 — The Price of Wisdom | Hall Banner

Wisdom is not given freely, it must be earned through sacrifice.

In Hávamál 139 and 140, Odin recounts his ordeal upon the windy tree: nine nights hanging wounded and offered to himself, without food or drink. Looking downward, he takes up the runes before finally falling from the tree.

These verses capture one of the defining images associated with Odin — the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the price he is willing to pay to obtain it. Wisdom here is not passive learning. It is something sought through ordeal, sacrifice, and transformation.

This double-sided Hall Banner depicts that moment upon the tree, when suffering gives way to discovery and Odin takes up the runes he sought. The same artwork appears on both sides, allowing the lesson to be seen from either direction.

Featuring Hávamál 139 and 140 from the Henry Adams Bellows translation.

Designed for the home, hall, ritual space, gathering place, or anywhere the old wisdom still has a place.

Part of the Northfire Hearth Hávamál Collection.
