The Turning of the Mind
Sjöfn, gentle of the Ásynjur, whose care is to turn the minds of men and women toward love, come quietly to this hall. Where there is coldness between us, thaw it. Where there is pride, soften it without shaming. I ask nothing forced and nothing owed — only that affection be given room to return.
Spoken low, once, with mead or clear water raised and then poured; leave the horn or cup unwashed until morning.
