Text

Wire curlsIn deft hands.The sun’s own whorlsCoaxed into Gleaming ornament. Echoing arcs first shaped By Creidhne at Bridgid’s Bench.Hammer drives her Strength into metalSpiraling through time itself.
We praise Rúna Skógadóttir, artificerAnd bid her join The argent Pearl And grant her arms. So say we, Eckehard Rex and Jane Regina20 November AS LVI
