Banned From Asatru

Notes about the song: 
Mentioning Raven Kaldera in a friendly fashion is a great way to get banned from Asatru groups, should you ever have need of such. Most Heathens consider him evil incarnate, or at least dangerously insane for promoting the worship of Giants (such as Loki, Hela and their family). You also have the option of mentioning authors Galina Krasskova or Elizabeth Vongvisith (the Lokean nun) if you prefer slow roasting to open flaming. All three are friends of mine whose hospitality I've enjoyed on many occasions, and really nice people. However, associating with this devious triumvirate or their minions is said to taint your luck, your wyrd and your orlog. Even discussing their ideas is forbidden: it might lead astray unwary Heathens unto the ranks of the unrighteous. Oddly, this tactic reminds me of a few other religions...

Now, having recently had the Havamal quoted at me like holy scripture (concerning enemies in the drinking hall), been banned from a group and blocked by the owner, I wrote this song to express my feelings on the matter. I dedicate it to Lofn, Goddess of Forbidden Loves whose name means "permission." Thank you Lofn for the inspiration!

All hail the holy Havamal!
All hail the holy law,
That Laufey's son shall not be named
Save from the devil's jaw.

A heretic I am today,
My soul's forfeit they say,
For caramel clings to my wyrd;
My orlog's full of clay.

The evil Raven is my friend,
and so's the twisted nun.
Galina's cry I won't deny,
And true friends I won't shun

And you who cry of heresy
When I but speak my truth,
I pity you when Sigyn weeps,
And when you torture Ruth. 

All hail the holy Havamal!
Hail the Aesir high above;
Except the ones we do not like:
Thou shalt not hail or love.

Or a heretic you'll be today,
Your soul's forfeit they say,
For caramel clings to your wyrd;
And your orlog's full of clay.

Only Raven then will be your friend,
Along with the twisted nun.
Galina's cry you won't deny,
And the likes of you we'll shun

And as we cry of heresy
When you but speak your truth,
No pity feel when Sigyn weeps,
And we will torture Ruth. 

Cause Ruth enjoys that sort of thing,
If you ask nice it's okay.
But never will Galina fist,
She doesn't play that way. 

All hail the holy Havamal!
All hail the holy law,
That Laufey's son shall not be named
Save from the devil's jaw.

And you who cry of heresy
When I but speak my truth,
I pity you when Sigyn weeps,
And when you torture Ruth.
