(July 4, 2023, updated April 13, 2025) The Voluspa is a creation story created from the mixing Druid and Christian cultural traditions. Its Christian influence is evidenced by its apocalyptic theme and by some of the proper names. For example "Jotunheim" is its name for heaven using the Druid Akkadian phrase of "Yahu's/Yahweh's pasture revealed" where "pasture" is an epithet for the starry night sky.
Names are not a translation! This is because names can be any arbitrary cluster of letters. The more names a translation has the more likely it is incorrect. Name translations are the last refuge of the incompetent translator.
In this case, dwarf names are found in the Nordic creation story called the Vǫluspá (also Völuspá, Vǫlospá or Vǫluspǫ́). This word is the Akkadian phrase U'.LW.S.P.A meaning "Fate curses loved by Su can be opened with this." The word "Dvergatal" is the Druid Akkadian phrase DW.ER.G.AT.AL meaning "The convulsions of the harbor energizing the monitoring of Alu." The variants dverga and dvergar are found in paragraph 10 respectively meaning "The convulsions in the harbor (sky shell full of rain making stars) are energizing those" and "The convulsions of the harbor are energizing the Controllers (eagle-vultures)."
The letter /o/ is the Akkadian glottal stop sign called ayin ('). It is replaced in Indo-European languages with either /a/ or /o/.
In another surprise, this whole text turns out to have originally been a Druid Akkadian text as evidenced by its coherent translation in Druid Akkadian. This is a good example of how bards created new written local language words out of Akkadian phrases by roughly matching them to words heard from the local spoken dialect which may or may not have had any relation to the Akkadian words.
What is significant here is that all the Dvergatal's word divisions correspond to the sentence divisions of the underlying runic text. This means some runic text was directly copied. Additionally, the copiest had knowledge of current pronunciation of the Akkadian word in the developing native language. For example, the copiest wrote the Akkadian letter "P" either as þ or p. The copiest also combined Druid Akkadian words where they would have been slurred together. Pu and Aru became "Par." The nominal ending /u/ of the Akkadian words would have been dropped early in European history because endings no longer conveyed grammatical states in Druid Akkadian.
Paragraph 10 - Blaming fate controlled life powers for the current problems, especially the eagle-vultures
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with "OF" attached to the prior word: Þar var Móðsognir mæztr of orðinn): Pu ARu Wa ARu. Ma'u Di'u Gi Nu IRu. Mu EZu Tu Re'u. Pu. ARu Du INu Nu.
- Opening the Controllers (eagle-vultures) has cursed the Controllers. Pushing-away the divine energy has revealed the astrology-fate-powers. The fertility-fluids can frustrate astrology-magic's openings. The Controllers are manifesting the Moon-Eye's (Su) fate-revelations.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: dverga allra en Durinn annarr): DaWu ERu Gu A. A Lu LaRu A. ENu Du IRu INu Nu. ANu Nu ARu Ru.
- The convulsions in the harbor (life network and sky-shell) are energizing those (manifestations of fate). That lack is diverting them. The reassignments are manifesting the astrological-fate-powers of Moon-eye's revelations. Considerations are reveling the control of the eagle-vultures.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with "OF" attached to the prior word: þeir mannlíkun mörg of gerðu): Pu E IRu. Mu A NuNu Lu IKu UNu. Ma'u Ru Ga'u Pu. Gi E Ru Du Wu
- Openings (through the life network) can make ineffective the astrological-fate-powers. Fertility-fluids resulting from chaos will be lacking the irrigation-network's resistances. Pushing the eagle-vulture will break the openings. Energy can make ineffective eagle-vulture's manifestations of fate.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: dvergar í jörðu, sem Durinn sagði): DaWu ERu Gu ARu. Ya Ya'u Ru DaWu. Su EMu Du URu INu Nu. Su AGu Du Ya.
- The convulsions of the harbor are energizing the Controllers (eagle-vultures). Are not Yahu's eagle-vultures being convulsed? Su is supervising the life-manifestations of the dawn's Moon-eye revelations. Su's anger is not being manifested.
Paragraph 11 - Fate can be controlled by the shepherd-priests with their astrology magic
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: Nýi, Niði, Norðri, Suðri) Nu YaYa. Nu IDu Ya. Ne'u ReDu ReYu. Su UDu ReYu
- Fate-revelations are causing pain. The fate-revelations can be be channeled. Emotional-effects can be driven by the shepherd-priests. Su can be crafted by the shepherd-priests.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: Austri, Vestri, Alþjófr, Dvalinn) AWu SaTu RuYu. Wa ESu Tu ReYu. ALu Du Ya'u PaRu. DaWu A Lu INu Nu.
- Emotion-powers can be allocated by the shepherd-priests. The curses can be filtered by astrology-magic's shepherd-priests. Alu will be manifested from Yahu's emotional-coercions. The convulsions result from lacking the Moon-eye's revelations.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Nárok Náinn Nípingr, Dáinn): Nu A Re'u Ku. Nu AYu NuNu. Nu IPu INu GeRu. Du AYu NuNu.
- The revelations (of fate) are resulting from the shepherd-priests involvement. The revelations of Ayu's eagle-vultures are becoming chaotic. The revelations are freeing-up the Moon-eye's (Su) guidance. The manifestations of Ayu is becoming chaotic.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: Bívurr, Bávurr, Bömburr, Nóri) Bu IPu URu Ru. Bu AWu URu Ru. Ba'u MaBu URu Ru, Ne'u ReYu
- Nourishments can free-up the dawn's eagle-vultures. Nourishments can emotionally-empower the dawn's eagle-vultures. The network-birds can mobilize the dawn's eagle-vultures, emotionally-affecting the shepherd-priests.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Ánnok, Ánarr, Óinn, Mjöðvitnir). ANu Ne'u Ku. ANu ARu Ru. AYu NuNu. Mu Ya'u DaWu ITu Nu IRu
- Considerations (focused emotions of emotion magic) can emotionally-affect the involvement (between life and e/motion powers). Considerations can control the eagle-vultures. Ayu is being chaotic. The fertility-fluids of Yahu are being convulsed by omens revealing the astrological-fate-powers.
Paragraph 12 - Use emotion-based astrology magic to overcome fate
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Veggrok Gandalfr, Vindalfr, Þorinn): Wa E GaGu Re'u Ku. Gi ANu Du ALu PaRu. Wa INu Du ALu PaRu. Pa'u ReYu NuNu
- Curses are making ineffective the isolation of the shepherd-priests involvements. Energy from considerations can manifest Alu's emotional-coercions. Curses from the Moon-eye can manifest Alu's emotional-coercions. The network-birds are shepherding the chaos.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Þrár ok Þráinn, Þekkr, Litr ok Vitr) PaRu A Re'u Ku. PaRu AYu NuNu. Pu EKu Ku Ru. Lu ITu Re'u K. Wa ITu Ru.
- Emotional-coercion will result from the shepherd-priest's involvement. Emotional-coercion of Ayu causes chaos. Opening starvation will involve eagle-vultures. The lack of omens is from the shepherd-priests involvements. Curse the omens of the eagle-vultures.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Nýr ok Nýráðr, nú hefi ek dverga) Nu Yu Re'u Ku. Nu IRu ADu Ru. Nu Wu Ḫu. EPu Ya EKu. DaWu ERu Gu A
- Don't reveal the shepherd-priest's involvement. Reveal the astrological-fate-powers instigations of the eagle-vultures. Reveal the curses of Hu. Don't bake-in the starvation. Convulsing the harbor is energizing that.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Reginn ok Ráðsviðr, rétt of talða) Ru EGu INu Ne'u K. Ru ADu Su Wa IDu Ru. Ru ETu Ta'u Pu. Tu A LuDu A.
- Eagle-vultures are neglecting the Moon-eye's shepherd-priest involvement. Eagle-vultures can instigate Su's curse on the life-channel's eagle-vultures. The eagle-vultures boundary can pasture openings (of the life network). Astrology magic will result in cultivating that (like turning pasture into a plowed field)
Paragraph 13 - Don't open fate but control it
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: Fíli, Kíli, Fundinn, Náli): Pu Ya LeYu. Ku Ya LeYu. Pu UNu Du INu Nu. Nu A LaYu.
- Don't open fate. Don't involve fate. Open resistance to manifesting the Moon-eye's revelations. (Those) revelations will involve fate.

(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Frár, Hornbori, Frægr ok Lóni): PaRu ARu. Ḫu'u Ru Nu Ba'u ReYu. PaRu EGu Ru. Le'u Nu Ya
- Emotionally-coerce the Controllers (eagle-vultures). The astrological-fate-owls for the eagle-vultures can reveal the divine-birds of shepherd-priests. Emotional-coercion can neglect the eagle-vultures. Fate is not being revealed.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text: Aurvangr, Jari, Eikinskjaldi): AWu ReWu ANu GaRu. Yu A ReYu. E IKu INu Su Ku Ya, ALu Du Ya
- Emotion-powers (Awen) from the shepherd-priest's considerations can guide. Shouldn't that result in shepherding? (Any) Ineffectiveness of the irrigation-network's Moon-eye Su will not be involved, with Alu not being manifested.
Paragraph 14 - Need the emotion-powers (Awen) of shepherd-priest's astrology-magic to energize life powers
(Using the word divisions in the text: Mál er dverga í Dvalins liði): Mu A Lu ERu. DaWu ERu Gu A. Ya DaWu A Lu INu Su. Lu IDu Ya
- The fertility-fluids are resulting in deficiencies in the harbor. The convulsions of the harbor are energizing those. Are not the convulsions resulting in deficiencies in the Moon-eye Su? Deficiencies cannot be channeled.
(Using the word divisions in the text: ljóna kindum til Lofars telja): Lu Ya'u Nu A. Ku INu Du UMu, Tu ILu. Le'u Pu ARu Su. Tu E LeYu A
- The deficiency of Yahu (Y') has been revealed by this. Involve the Moon-Eye (Su) for manifesting the storm-powers, astrology-magic for the high-powers. Fate can be opened-up by control from Su. Astrology-magic can make ineffective the fate from those (the high powers).
(Using the word divisions in the text: þeir er sóttu frá salar steini): Pu E IRu. ERu Se'u Tu TaWu. PaRu A. Su A Lu ARu. SaTu E Nu Ya
- Openings can make ineffective the astrological-fate-powers. The harbor can inhibit astrology-magic's pasture (starry night sky). Emotional-coercion is the result. Su can result in a deficiency of control. (But) Allocation ineffectiveness is not being revealed.
(Using the word divisions in the text: Aurvanga sjöt til Jöruvalla): AWu ReWu ANu Gu A. Su Ya'u Tu. Tu ILu. Ya'u ReWu U ALu Lu A
- Emotion-powers (Awen) of the shepherd-priests considerations can energize these: Su, Yahu (Y'), astrology-magic, astrology magic of the high-powers. Yahu's (Y') shepherding and Alu are lacking these.
Paragraph 15 - Controlling fate and various divine powers with emotion magic.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Þar var Draupnir ok Dolgþrasir): Pu ARu. Wa ARu. DaRu AWu PaNu Ya Re'u Ku. Di'u LaGu PaRu ASu IRu
- Openings can be controlled. Fate-curses can be controlled. Shaping the emotion-powers (Awen) will not winnow the shepherd-priest's involvements. The divine-powers can attune to the emotional-coercion of the Celestial-healer's (Selu/Selene) astrological-fate-powers.
(Using the word divisions in the text: Hár, Haugspori, Hlévangr, Glóin) Ḫu Aru. Ḫu AWu GaSu Pa'u ReYu. Gi Le'u INu

Paragraph 16 - Defining how astrology-magic is different from emotion magic.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Alfr ok Yngvi, Eikinskjaldi) ALu Pu Re'u Ku. INu Gu UYa. E IKu INu Su KaYa A LaDu Ya
- Alu can open the shepherd-priests involvements. The Moon-eye can energize the fate-curses. The ineffectiveness of the irrigation-network from the Moon-eye Su's prodding that is not being cultivated.
(Using the dwarf word divisions in the text with the "OK" attached to the prior dwarf: Fjalarr ok Frosti, Finnr ok Ginnarr) PaYu A Lu ARu Re'u Ku. Pu Re'u Su Tu Ya. Pu INu Nu Re'u Ku. Gi INu Nu ARu Ru.
- The network-birds (eagle-vultures) are resulting from a deficiency in the control of the shepherd-priest's involvement. Opening the shepherding of Su is not doing astrology-magic. Opening the Moon-eye's revelations for the shepherd-priests involvement is. Energy from the Moon-eye will reveal the control of the eagle-vultures.
(Using the word divisions in the text: þat mun æ uppi meðan öld lifir) Pu A Tu. Mu UNu, E UPu PaYu. Mu EDu ANu. A Lu Du. Lu IPu IRu
- Openings can result in astrology-magic. Fertility-fluids will resist, the ineffectiveness, of the wind's network birds (owls). (Therefore) Fertility-fluids can motivate considerations (focused emotions of emotion magic). That will make deficient the life-manifestations. Deficiencies will free-up the astrological-fate-powers.
