Yes, the wording was for "that Eydis" who also happens to be a friend of mine and fellow Dancing Lady. She was given her AoA by Brennan and Caoilfhionn on April 9th at the coronation of their heirs.
Marieta did a lovely craving based on the Osberg ship that featured intertwined cats. For a lovely viking lady who happens to be a bard, I took a stab at skaldic style poetry. I didn't have a lot of time to research how to phrase or set up sections of the poetry or to see if there were actually set "rules" for writing skaldic poems. That will be part of my "to do" list when I take another stab at this.
This is my first attempt at this type of poetry. Copious amounts of looking at text from rune stones happened and Googling Norse gods/patrons. Bygul and Trigul are the names of Freya's cats that pulled her chariot.
"Fierce Caoilfhionn and wise Brennan called their people to hear their word. On this day of Eostre’s pride, winter wanes and the skald’s words are known to all:
Thorgrim’s daughter, fair Eydis
Friend of Bygul and Trigul kin.
Bragi-favored skald, gifts wordfame to the north.
Ring givers Brennan and Caoilfhionn
Honor and arms to her proclaim."
