Overview
Galdr is an enchanted song. Odin is said to be the master of galdr with the ability to use his voice to achieve supernatural results. It’s unclear how galdr was used in ancient times: Al-Tartushi writes that the Viking Rus would sing in a way that sounded like barking dogs, but it’s uncertain if this was in any way related to galdr at all. Today, galdr is an evolving artform. It can be used for healing songs, to chant the runes into crafts, and to cast spells.
