Sigrdrífumál
Appearance
Sigrdrífumál or Brynhildarljóð is one of the heroic poems of the Poetic Edda. It relates the meeting of the valkyrie Sigrdrífa with the hero Sigurðr and largely consists of Sigrdrífa's advice to him, which includes cryptic references to Norse mythology and magical runes.
The beginning of the poem is preserved in the Codex Regius. The end is in the lost part of the manuscript but it is preserved in later copies. The Völsunga saga describes the scene and contains some of the poem.
