I was really pleased with the footage that my brother and I got during and before the total summer eclipse August 21st. I thought I'd put up a special version of that video, with the readings from Vǫluspá in Old Norse rather than English, as a Patreon exclusive.

The stanzas in both videos are (using the Codex Regius version or my translation of it) stanzas 50, 51, 55, 57, 58, and 60.
