There was wiseman, a great builder, and H ewho Is That He Is Begat L ove for him and Fenged him that he should behold the uppermost dwellings and be witness to the W ise and G reat and Unthought and Unwended Swail of God Almighty, of the altherwonderful and thruhmsome and bright and manyeyed st owe of the Lord’s thegns , and of the Uninganged Seld of Hewho Is That He Is, and of the hoads and atewings of the fleshless hosts, and of the utterless thegning of the feelfold stuffkinds , and of the manikin dwimmer and unsaid singing of the host of Kinderlings and of the ormete light. 2. At that time he sai d: When my one-hundred-sixty-fifth year was fulwrought , I begat my son Dartman . 3: After this too I lived two-hundred years and fulwrought the years of my life three-hundred-sixty-five. 4: On the first day of the month, I was in my house alone and was resting on my bed and slept. 5: And when I was asleep, great angst came up into my heart, and I was weeping with my eyes in sleep, and I could not understand what this angst was nor what would befall me. 6: And there atewed to me two men over big such as I never saw upon the earth, ansensunshining , eyes too like burninglight and from their lips was fire coming forth with clothing and si ng ing of sundry kinds in atew whalkred, wings brighter than gold, hands whiter than snow. 7: They were standing at the head of my bed and began to call me by my name. 8: And I arose from my sleep and saw lutterly those two men standing in front of me. 9: And I hailed them and was gripped with fear, and my ansenatew was went with brow, and they two said to me 10: Bolden Lear, and do not fear ; the Everlasting God sent us unto you, and lo you shall today go up with us into heaven, and you shall tell your sons and all your household all that they shall do without you on earth in your house, and let no one seek you till HIThHI yensend you to them. 11. And I made haste heed of them and went out from my house, and made to the doors as was behested me, and I beckoned my sons Dartman and Bricklime and Sinew a nd made known to them all the mearths those men had told me. 2: 1: Listen to me, my children, for I know not whither I go nor what will befall me, so my children, I tell you: eftwharve not from God before the ansem of the idle.

Lear raised to the First Heaven, of stars and wind and snow and dew 3: 1: It came to be when I had told my sons that the sondsmen took me onto their wings and bore me up to the first heaven and set me on the clouds. And there I looked, and again I looked higher, and I saw the a ether, and they set me on the first heaven and showed me a n althergreat sea, greater than the earthly sea. 4: 1: They brought before m y ansen the elders and drights of the st ardights , and showed me two-hundred sondsmen who r ix the stars, and their thegnings to the heavens, and they fly with their wings and gobeclip all those who sail. 5: 1: And here I looked down and saw the hoardcoves of snow and the sondsmen who keep these athelhoardcoves , and the clouds whence they come and whence they go. 6: 1: They showed me the hoardcove of the dew, like berryeal , and the dwimmer of its form, as all the blooms of earth; further many sondsmen keeping the hoardcove of these and how they are made to shut and open. The Other Heaven, of the offstanders 7: 1: And they took me and led me up unto the other heaven and showed me darkness greater than earthly darkness, and there I saw hafts hanging watched, awaiting the great and boundless deeming, and these sondsmen were dark more than earthly dark and unblimmingwise weeping through al lstounds . 2: And I said to them with me: Why are these unblimmingwise t intreyed ? They an quothe : These are God’s offstanders , who heeded not His behests but took rede of their own will and charred even from their own athelfengle , who is fastened on the fifth heaven; 3: And I felt great ruth for them, and they hailed me and said to me: Man of God, bede for us to Hewho Is That He Is; and I an quothe : Who am I, a deathling , that I should bede for sondsmen ? Who knows whether I go or what befall me or who will bede for me? The Third Heaven, of the tree of life and the abodes of the dead 8: 1: And they took me thence and led me up to the third heaven and set me there; and I looked down and saw the wassom of these stowes such as never has been known for goodness. 2: And I saw all the sweet blooming trees and beheld their sweetsmelling wassom and all the foods borne, bubbling with vrahnsome outbreathing . 3: And in the midst of the trees, that of life, in that stead 3 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear whereon Hewho Is That He Is rests when he goes up into the inwalling ; and this tree is of utterless goodness and vrahnsomeness , and agraithe more than any being thing; and on all sides in form of gold and tiver and fire, and belids all; and it has wassom from all kinds . 4: Its root is in the garden at earth’s end. 5: And the inwalling is between worsomeness and unworsomeness . 6: And two springs come out which send forth honey and milk, and their springs send forth eal and win e , and they shed in four and go about in softfareld down into the inwalling of Hands between worsomeness and unworsomeness . 7: And thence they go forth along the earth and have a wharft even as other shaftkinds . 8: And here there is no un wassom tree and e very stead is blessed. 9: And there are three-hundred altherbright sondsmen who keep the garden and with unblimming sweetswinging and nevers wywoothes thane HIThHI through all days and all stounds . 10: And I said: How althersweet is this stowe?; and they said to me: 9: 1: This stowe is tawn for the righteous who bear allmanner of grill from those that roughout their souls, who put away their eyes from unevenness an d deem rightly and give bread to the hungering and garb the naked with clothing and raise up the fallen and help the wretched fatherless, who walk without shild before the Ansen of H ewho Is That He Is and thane Him alone; and for them is tawn this stowe for everlasting erf; 10: 1: And they two led me up to the northern side thereof and showed me there a n athelwoesomestowe and all kind of t intry there: atternd arkness and unlit myrk , and there is no light there but m y rk some fire unblimmingly flaming aloft, and a fi restour coming forth; and that whole stowe is everywhere fire, and everywhere there is frost and ice and thirst and shiver, while the bonds are very cruel and sondsmen fearful and grithless. bearing angry weapons, grithless t intrey ; and I said 2: Woe O woe; how very woesome this towe; 3: And they said to me: t his stold is tawn for those who forfeng God, who on earth sin against kindbeing, which is the worsoming of children in the manner of Sodom , spellcraft, begaleings , bewitchments, and who boast of their wicked deeds of theft, lies, hool , ond , stinking wrath , for lieing , murder, and who bemansed steal the souls of men, who seeing the poor take away their goods, who mowing to queem make the hungry to die, who mowing to cloth e strip the naked, and who know not their Maker but bow to lifeless gods who neither see nor hear, idleg ods of hewn likeness , and bow down to unclean handwork. F or all these is tawn this stowe among these for everlasting erf; 4 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear The Fourth Heaven, of the sun and moon and the reckoning of the years 11: 1: They took me and led me up to the fourth heaven and showed me all the enspeeding goings and all the lightbeams of sun and moon. 2: And I reckoned their goings and likened their light and saw that the sun’s is greater than the moon’s. 3: Its wharft and the wheels on which it goes always like the wind going by with mearthful speed, and day and night it has no rest. 4: Its sithefat and its yencome are with four great stars, each under it a thousand stars, to the right of the sun’s wheel, and by four to the left, each under it a thousand, together eight-thousand coming forth with the sun forthgoingly. 5: And by day fifteen tenthousands of sondsmen yeem it, and by night a thousand. 6: And six winged sondsmen come forth with them before the sun’s wheel into the firebrands, and a hundred sondsmen kindle the sun and set it alight. 12: 1: And I looked and saw other flying shafts of the sun whose names are Feonixes and Brasswyrms , mearthful and wonderful, their a tew of whalkred like a rainbow; their size nine- hundred breadths , their wings those of sondsmen, each having twelve, and they yeem the sun bearing heat and dew, as behested by God. 2: Thus the sun bewharfts and goes and rises under the heaven, and its rake goes under the earth with the light of its beams unblimmingly. 13: 1: They bore me away to the east and set me at the sungates where the sun goes forth enthwearing to the fetters of the yeartides and the wharfting of the months of the whole year and the tally of the stounds day and night. 2: And I saw six gates open each having sixty-one-and- a-fourth stadia (athelnear furlongs) , and I reckoned them truly and understood their mete (so much) through which the sun goes forth and to the west and is made even and rises throughout all the months and wharfts again from the six gates enthwearing to the rowgoing of the yeartides. T hus the whole year is fuldone after the tides’ yencome. 14: 1: And again they led me away to the western deals and showed me six great gates open witquoth (corresponding) to the eastern gates against wh ich the sun sets enthwearing to the reckon of the days three-hundred-sixty-five-and-a-fourth. 2: Thus again it goes down to the western gates and draws away its light, the greatness of its brightness, under the earth. F or since the kinband of its shining is in heaven with Hewho Is That He Is and kept by four-hundred sondsmen while the sun goes wharft on wheel under the earth and stands seven great stounds in night and half its rake under the earth, when it comes nigh to the east in the eighth nightstound it brings its lights and the kinband of shining. A nd the sun brandshines forth more than fire. 5 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear 15: 1: Then the shafts o f the sun, the Feon ixes and Brasswyrms, break into song and every bird flutters with its wings, glewing at the giver of light, and they do so at Behest of Hewho Is That He Is. 2: The giver of light comes to give brightness to the whole world and the morning ward takes shape, which is the sunbeams , and the sun of the earth goes out and underfengs its brightness to light up the whole ansen of the earth, and they showed me this chalkreckon of the sun’s going. 3: And the gates which it infares are the chalkreckon of the stounds of the year; for this, the sun, is a great making whose wharft l asts twenty-eight years and begins again from the beginning. 16: 1: They showed me the other rake , that of the moon, twelve great gates banded from east to west by which the moon goes in and out at sidful times. 2: It goes in at the first gate to the western stowes of the sun by the first gate with thirty-one days alsuch, by the second thirty-one alsuch, by the third thirty days alsuch, by the fourth thirty alsuch, by the fifth thirty-one days alsuch, by the sixth thirty-one alsuch, by the seventh thirty alsuch, by the eighth with thirty-one days flawlessly, by the ninth with thirty-one days alsuch, by the tenth with thirty days flawlessly, by the eleventh with thirty-one days alsuch, by the twelfth with twenty-eight days alsuch. 3: And it goes through the western gates in the stightment and tally of the eastern and fulcomes the three-hundred-sixty-five-and-a-fourth days of the sunyear while the moonyear has three-hundred-fifty-four and are wanting twelve of the sunwharft which are the moon’s onforths of the year. 4: Thus too the great wharft contains five-hundred-thirty-two years. 5: The farthing day is balked for three years; the fourth fulfills it alsuch. 6: Therefore they are taken outside of heaven for three years and are not eaken to the tally of days because they wend the time of the years to two new months towards wax and to two others towards wane . 7: And when the western gates are fulcome , it comes yen and goes to the eastern to the lights and goes thus day and night about t he heavenly wharfts , lower than all wharfts and swifter than the heavenly winds, and ghosts and shaftkinds and sondsmen flying, e ach sondsman ha ving six wings. 8: It has a sevenfold rake in nineteen years. 17: 1: In the midst of the heavens I saw armed drings thaning Hewho Is That He Is. with drum and pipeworks and unblimmingwooth , swee twooth , with sweet unblimming manikind singing which is unmow to retch and a mazes every wit, so wonderful and m earthful is the singing of those sondsmen, and I was be lighted listening to it. 6 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear The Fifth Heaven, of the Watchers 18.: 1: They took me on to the fifth heaven and set me, and there I saw many tallyless drings called Watchers of human atew , and their mete was greater than that of great thurses , their ansens withered, the swy of their mouths everlasting , and there was no help in the fifth heaven, and I said to them who were with me 2: Wherefore are these alther withered and their ansens blackbile , their mouths s wy , and wherefore is there no hep in this heaven?; 3: They said to me: These are the Watchers who with th ei r prince Foeos forhowed the Lord of Light and after them are those who are held in great darkness in the other heaven, and three of them went down onto earth from the Lord's Seld to the hillstead Hermon and broke their oaths on the shoulder of Hermon and saw of the daughters of men how good they are and took them wives and befouled the earth with their deeds, who in all times of their eald made lawlessness and (unright) melding , and thurses were born, mearthful big men, and great fiendred. 4: And therefore God Doomed them with G reat Deeming , and they weep for their brethren and will be grilled (not (sundrily) as meat is) on the Lord's G reat D ay; 5: And I said to the Watchers: I saw your brethren and their works and their great t intreys , and I bade for them, but Hewho Is That He Is H as fordeemed (doomed) them under the earth til this heaven and that earth shall end forever. 6: And I said: Wherefore do you wait, brethren, and do not thane before the Lord’s Ansen and have not put your thralldom before the Lord’s Ansen , lest you anger your Lord utterly?; 7: And they listened to my warning and spoke to the four hoads in heaven and lo as I stood with those two who had taken me thence four trumpets shilled together with great wooth and the Watchers broke into song with o ne wooth and their wooth went up before the Lord ruthful and rining. The Sixth Heaven, of the sondsmenbands 19: 1: And thence they took me and bore me up to the sixth heaven and there I saw seven bands of sondsmen athel bright and athelthruhm, their ansens shining over sunshine , glistening, and there is no otherness in their ansens , their behavi ng , nor their shridesid ; and these make the stightnings and learn the goings of the stars and the wending of the moon and wharfting of the sun and the good stighteling of the world. 2: And when they see evildoing they make bodeword and behest and sweet and loud singing all of herryloave . 3: These are the rixsondsmen who are above the sondsmen and mete all life in heaven and on earth, and the sondsmen who are over tides and years, the sondsmen who are over stours a nd sea and over earthwassom , and the sondsmen 7 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear who are over every grass giving food to all and to every living being , and the sondsmen who write all the souls of men and all their deeds and their lives before the Lord’s Ansen. I n their midst are six Feonixes and six Kinderlings and six Sixwingeds always singing with one wooth, and it is not mow to retch their singing, and they glew before H ewho Is That He Is at H is Footstool. The Seventh Heaven, of the rixsondsmen 20: 1: And they two lifted me up thence on to the seventh heaven and I saw there a n athel great light and fiery t hrum s of great rixsondsmen, unbodily mights , lordships, dights and stightlings , Kinderlings and Blazelings, Selds and Manyeyedones , nine drightens (regiments) , the HIThHI- Seeln Lightsteads , and I became afraid and began to reese with great brow , and those who lifted me thence took me and led me after them and said to me 2: Bolden Lear and do not fear ; and they showed me Hewho Is That He Is from afar sitting on His Athel- High Seld . For what is there on the tenth heaven, seeing that HIThHI Dwells There? 3: On the tenth heaven is God, called in Hebrew Aravat (Sweetwiss – this is the name of the heaven, not a Name of God) . 4: And all the heavenly host would come and stand on the ten steps enthwearing to their drighthoad and would bow down to Hewho Is That He Is and would again go to their steads in glew and sealth , singing songs in the ormetel ight with small tid wooths , thruhmthegning H im. 21: 1: And the Kinderlings and Blazelings standing about the Seld, the S ixwinged s and Ma nyeyedones leave not , standing before the Lord’s Ansen doing His Will, and belid His Whole Seld singing with lithewooth before the Lord’s Ansen: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord Dight of Hostsrest , heavens and earth are full of Your Thruhm. 2: When I saw all these things, those who had lifted me thence said to me: Thus far it is bode us to ensithefat with you; and they went away from me and thereupon I saw them not. 3: And I abode alone at the end of the seventh heaven and became afraid and fell on my ansen and said to myself: Woe is me; what has befallen me? 4. And Hewho Is That He Is sent one of His Bethrummed , the rixsondsman Helethoos , who said to me: Bolden Lear, and do not fear but arise before the Lord’s Ansen into everlast. A rise and come with me; 5: And I anquothe him and said in myself: M i lord, my soul is forsaken me from brow and reese ; and I called to those who led me up to this stowe: On them I lipped , and with them I go before the Lord’s Ansen; 6: And Helethoos caught me up as a leaf caught by the wind and set me before the Lord’s Ansen The Eighth Heaven, Tideswend 7: And I saw the eighth heaven which is called in the Hebrew tongue Muzaloth, that is Tideswend , of drought and of wet and of the twelve startokens 8 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear of the wharft of the rodder which are above the seventh heaven. The Ninth Heaven, Soothe 8: And I saw the ninth heaven which is called in Hebrew Kuchavim (Soothe) , where are the heavenly homes of the twelve startokens of the wharft of the rodder. The Tenth Heaven, Sweetwiss 22: 1: On the tenth heaven, Aravoth, (Sweetwiss) I saw The Atew of the Lord’s Ansen, like iron made to glow in fire when brought out putting forth burning sparks . 2: Thus I saw the Lord’s Ansen, though the Lord’s Ansen is utterless , mearthful , and athel awful, and athelathelbrow 3: And who am I to tell of the Lord’s Utterless Being and of H is Athel- Wonderful Ansen? And I cannot tell the reckon of His Many Learnings Behests a nd Manikin Woothes ; the Lord’s Seld is athel great and not made with hands, nor can I tell the tally of those standing about H im, douths of Kinderlings and Blazelings , nor their unblemmed singing nor His Wendless Lite ; and who shall tell of the Utterless Greatness of His Thruhm ? 4. And I fell forth down and bowed to H e who Is That He Is and H e with His Lips said to me 5: Bolden Lear and do not fear. Arise and stand before My Ansen unto everlast; 6: And the rixhartow Likeanos lifted me up and led me before the Lord’s Ansen. 7: And Hewho Is That He Is said to His Thegn s, Costening t hem: Let Lear stand before My Ansen unto everlast; and the enthruhmed ones bowed down to HIThHI and said: Let Lear go enthwearing to Your Word. 8: And HIThHI said to Likeanos: Go and take Lear from out his earthly godwebs and ensalbe him with My Sweet Salbe , and put him into the Godwebs of My Thruhm; 9: And Likeanos did thus as HIThHI told him. He ensalbed me and enshrode me, and the atew of that Salbe is more than T he G reat Li ght, and H is Salbe is Like Sweet Dew, and I ts Smell M ild, Sunbeamshining , and I looked at myself and was like one of H is Bethrummed O nes. 10: And HIThHI Beckoned one of H is R ixsondsmen, Wharftoos whos e knowledge was quicker in wisdom than the other rixsondsmen, who wrote all the deeds of HIThHI. A nd HIThHI said to Wharftoos: Bring out the Books from My Hoard-Houses , a reed of quickwriting, and give to Lear and bring to him the Choice and Reeting Books out of your hand; Lear crosswrites Books of Hewho Is That He Is 23: 1: And he was telling me all the works of heaven, earth, and sea, and of all the kindshafts, their coming and going, and the thunderings of thunders, and the sun and moon, and the goings and changes of the stars, tides, years, days, and hours, and the risings of the wind, the tally of the sondsmen and the make of their songs, and of all man’s things, the tongue of every song and every 9 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear life, the bodewords, behests, and sweetwoothsongs, all things that are fitting to learn. 2: And Wharftoos told me: All things that I have told you we have written. Sit and write all the souls of mankind, however many of them are born, and the tawnsteads of their everlast, for all souls are tawn to everlast before the making of the world; 3: And all doubly thirty days and thirty nights I wrote out all things alsuch and wrote three-hundred-sixty-six books. Lear’s unsclaring 24: 1: And Hewho Is That He Is summoned me and said to me: Lear, sit down on my left with Helethoos; 2: And I bowed down to HIThHI, and HIThHI spoke to me: Lear, My Beloved, all you see, all things that are standing finished I Tell to you even before the very beginning, all that I Made from nonbeing, and seen things from unseen. 3: Hear, Lear, and take in these my words for not to My Sondsmen have I told my rune, and I have not told them their rise, nor My Endless Realm, nor have they understood My Making which I tell to you today. 4: For before all things were seen, I Alone Used to Go about in the unseenthings as the sun goes from east to west and from west to east. 5. But even the sun has peace in itself, while I Found No Peace since I Was Making All Things, and I Begat the Thought of Setting Staddles and of Making Seenmaking. 25: 1: I Behested in the very lowest that seenthings should come down from unseen, and Adoil came down very great, and I Beheld him and lo he had a belly of great light. 2: And I said to him: Become undone and let the seen come out of you. 3: And he came undone and a great light came out. And I In the Midst of the Great Light, and as there is born light from light there came forth a great eald and showed all making which I had Thought to Make. 4: And It Was Good. 5: And I set for Myself a Seld and Took my Seat on It and Said to the Light: Go thence up higher and fix yourself high above the Seld, and be a Staddle to the highest things. 6: And above the light there is nothing else, and I Bent Up and Looked Up from My Seld. 26: 1: And I Beckoned the very lowest a second time, and said: Let Rixas come forth hard, and he came forth hard from the unseen. 2: And Rixas came forth, hard, heavy, and very red. 3: And I Said: Be opened, Rixas, and let there be born from you; and he came undone, an eald came forth athelgreat and atheldark bearing the making of all lower things, and It Was Good, and I Said to him 4: Go thence down below and make yourself firm and be a staddle for the lower things; and it happened and he went down and fixed himself and became the staddle for the lower things, and below the darkness there is nothing else. 10 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear The First Day 27: 1: And I Bode that there should be taken from light and darkness, Saying: Be thick; and it became so , and I Spread it out with the light and it became water, and I Spread it out over the darkness below the light, and I Made Fast the waters, the bottomless, and Made a Staddle of light around the water and Made Seven Rings from inside and Likemade the water like crystal, wet and dry, like glass, which is the wharftcut of the waters and the other kindshafts , and I Showed each of them its road, and the Seven Stars each of them in i ts h eaven that they go thus. A nd It Was Good. 2: And I Sundered between light and darkness, in the midst of the water hither and thither, and I Said to the light that it should be the day and to the darkness that it should be the night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 28: 1: And then I Made Fast the heavenly wharft and Made the lowerwater which is under heaven to lease itself into one whole and that the dwolm become d ry, and it was so. 2: Out of the waves I Made rock hard and big, and from the rock I Heaped up the dry, and the dry I called Earth, and the midst of the earth I called Abyss, Bottomless. I Gathered the sea in one lough and B ound I t with A Y oke. 3: And I Said to the sea: Behold I give you Everlasting Pennings , and you shall not break loose from your deal parts. 4: Thus I Made Fast the rodder . This day I called First made The Next Day and the Fall of Foeos 29: 1: And for all the heavenly douths I Likemade the Likeness and Pith of F ire, and My Eye Looked at the athel hard athelfast rock, and from the Gleam of My Eye the lightning fenged its wond er , both fire in water and water in fire so that the one does not put out the other nor the one dry up the other, therefore the lightning is brighter than the sun and softer than water and f aster than rock. 2: And from the rock I Cut Off a great fire and Made from it T he Dights of the Ten Fleshless Douths of S ondsmen and T heir W eapons of F ire and their Kinshroud of Blazing Brand, and I Behested that each should stand fettle . 3: And one from out of the s ondsmen dight having erftwharfted with his trum begat an undeedful thought to place his seld higher than the clouds above the earth that he might become same in hoad to My Might. 4: So I threw him out from the height with his sondsmen and he was flying in the air forthgoingly above the bottomless. 11 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear The Third Day 30: 1: On the third day I Bade the earth to make grow great and wassom trees and hills and seed to sow, and I Laid Wale of The Inwalling and Walled it and Set armed brandburning sondsmen, and thus I Made Ednewing. The Fourth Day 2: Then came evening and came morning, the fourth day. 3: On the fourth day I Bode that there should be great lights on the heavenly wharfts. 4: On the uppermost wharft I Set the stars and the godstar Time, and on the other Want (that is Freya), and on the third Marcheos (Tyr), and on the fifth Skyshine (Thunar), and on the sixth Wareos (Woden), on the seventh and lesser the moon, and I Adorned it with the lesserstars. 5: And on the lower I Set the sun for daylighting, the moon and stars for nightlighting. 6: The sun that it should go enthwearing to each startoken of the twelve, and I Allotted the following of the months and their names and lives and thunderings and stoundmarkings and how they should follow. The Fifth Day 7: Then evening came and morning came, the fifth day. 8: On the fifth day I Bode the sea that it should bring forth fishes and feathered birds of many kinds and all wyrms creeping over the earth going forth over the earth on four legs and skywinging in the air, were and wife, and every soul breathing lifeghost The Sixth Day 9: And there came evening and there came morning, the sixth day. 10: On the sixth day I Wielded My Wisdom to Make man from seven innards: first his flesh from the earth, next his blood from the dew, third his eyes from the sun, fourth his bones from stone, fifth his wit from the swiftness of sondsmen and cloud, sixth his veins and hair from the grass of the earth, seventh his soul from my breath and from wind. 11: And I Gave him seven beings: to the flesh hearing, the eyes sight, the soul smell, the veins touch, the blood taste, the bones lasting, the wit liking. 12: I Begat a Cunning Saying to Say: I Made man from unseen and from seen being, of both are his death and life and likeness. He knows speech like some madebeings, small in greatness and again great in smallness, and I Sent him on earth as another sondsman, fengsome, great and wonderful, and I Allotted him as drighten to rix on earth and have My Wisdom, and there was none like him of earth of all My Edwistlybeings. 13: And I Gave him a name from the four innards, from east and west and south and north, and I Set for him four sunderstars and Called his name Eaweson (Adam then is a Greek name, though the Hebrews hold the same name of him.), and (I) Showed him the two ways that are light and darkness, and I Told him: 14: This is good, and that bad; That I Would Learn whether he has love for me or hatred, That It Be Lutter which of his 12 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear theed (would) love me. 15: For I Have Seen his pith, but he has not seen his own, not seeing that he will sin worse, and I Said: After sin, what but death?; 16. And I Put Sleep into him and he fell asleep. And I Took from him a rib and made him a wife that death should come to him by his wife, and I Took his last word and called her mother, that is Bauernhof. The Fall of Man 31: 1: Eaweson has life on earth, and I Made a garden in Hands i n the east, that he should sight T he W it and keep T he Bode . 2: I Made the heavens open to him that he should see the sondsmen and hear their reethsong and see the myrkless light. 3: And he alone was inwalleda bout , and the devil understood that I Would Make Another World since Eaweson was lord on earth to rix and wield it. 4: The devil is the evil ghost of the lower loughs, a runaway who ma de unfrith from the heavens as his name was F oeos. T hus he be befoed the sondsmen but did not wend in wit as far as understanding of right and sin. 5: And he understood his fordeeming (his doom) and the sin which he had sinned before, therefore he begat thought against Eaweson. In such form he incame and forteed Bauernhof but did not touch Eaweson. 6: I Mansed notknowing, but what I Blessed before I Mansed Not. I Mansed N ot man nor earth nor other beings but man’s evil wassom and his works. 32: 1: I Said to him: Earth you are, and into the earth whence I Took you you shall go, and I Will Not Wrake you but Send you whence I Took you; 2: Then I Can Again Underfeng you at My Other Anwarding. 3: And I Blessed all My Begotten seen and unseen. And Eaweson was five-and-a-half stounds inwalled. The Seventh Day 4: And I Blessed the seventh day which is the Hostsrest on which he rested from all of his works. The Eighth Day 33: 1. And I set the eighth day also that it should be the firstmade after my work and that the seven bewharft in the form of the seventh thousand and that at the beginning of the eighth thousand there should be a time of no tally, endless, with neither years nor months nor weeks nor days nor stounds. The Great Errand 2: And now, Lear, all that I Have Told you and all that you have understood and all that you have seen of heavenly things and all that you have seen on earth and all that I Have Written in Books by My Great Wisdom, all these things I Have Sired and Made from the uppermostgroundline to the lower and to the end, and there is no redeman nor erfson to My Making. 3: I Am Everselflasting, Not Made With Hands, and Without Wend. 4: My 13 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear Thought is My Reder, My Wisdom is my Redeman and My Deed Is My Word, and My Eyes Sight All Things how they stand here and bever with brow. 5: If I Turn My Face, then all things will be forspillen. 6: Trust your wit, Lear, and know He (I) Who Is (Am) Speaking to you, and take thence the books which you yourself have written. 7: And I give you Heareos and Leasowos who led you up, and the books. Go down to earth and tell your sons all that I Have Told you, and all that you have seen from the lower heaven up to My Throne, and all the trums. 8: For I Made all mights and there is none that gainstands Me or that does not heed Me. For all heed themselves to My Kingdom and labor for My Lone Swinge. 9: Give them the books of the handwriting and they will read and will know Me for the Maker of all things and will understand that there is no other god but Me. 10: And let them to deal the books of your handwriting son to son, kinrun to kinrun, and theed to theed. 11: And I Will Give you, Lear, My Gobetweener, the highhartow Likeanos for the handwritings of your fathers Eaweson, Set, Deathling, Nest, Inshiningoos, and Reese your father. The Flood foretold 34: 1: They have spurned My Bodewords and My Yoke that worthless seed has come up not fearing God, and they would not bow to Me but have begun to bow to idlegods and withsaid My Onehood and have laden the whole earth with untruths, hookeries, grisly lecheries with oneanother, and all kind of other unclean wickedness which are grisly to mield . 2: And therefore I Will Bring Down A Brim upon the earth and Will Forspill all men and the whole earth will crumble together into great darkness. The Keeping of the Rune 35: 1: Behold: from their seed shalll arise another kincoming, much (long) afterwards, but of them many will be athelunquemt. 2: He who raises that kincoming shall unsclare to them the books of your handwriting, of your fathers, to whom He must entrust the keeping of the world, to the rightrown men and workers of My Frith who do not take my name in vain. 3: And they shall tell another kincoming, and those having read shall be enthruhmmed hereafter moreso than the first. 36: 1: Now Lear, I give you a time of thirty days to spend in your house, and tell your sons and all your household that all may hear from My Ansen what is told them by you, that they may read and understand that there is no other God but me. 2: And that they may always keep my 14 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear bodewords and begin to read and take in the books of your handwriting. 3: And after thirty days I shall send my sondsman for you, and he will take you from the earth and from your sons to me; 37: 1: And Hewho Is That He Is called upon one of the aldersondsman browful and threatening and set him by me, atewsnowhite icehandsatewathelfrost and he froze my ansen since I could not take The Brow of the Lord as one cannot take a stovesfire or sunsheat or airfrost. 2: And HIThHI said to me: Lear, if your ansen be not frozen here no man will be able to behold your ansen. 38: 1. And Hewho Is That He Is said to those men who first led me up: Let Lear go down onto the earth with you and await him until the wittenday. 2: And they set me by night on my bed. 3: And Dartman foredeeming my come watchkeeping day and night at my bed was filled with awe when he heard my come, and I told him: Let all my household come together that I tell them all things. Lear witnesses to his household 39: 1: O beloved children, hear the warn of your father as enthweared to the Lord’s Will. 2. I have been let come to you today to herald not by my lips but by those of Hewho Is That He Is all that is and was and all that is now and that will be till doomsday. 3: For HIThHI has let me come to you that you hear the words of my lips, of a man made big for you, but I am one who has seen the Lord’s Own Ansen like iron made to glow in fire when brought out putting forth burning sparks. 4: You look now upon my eyes of a man big with meaning for you, but I have seen the Lord’s Eyes Sunbeamshining and Full-Awful to man’s eyes. 5: You see now, children, the right hand of a man that helps you, but I have seen the Lord’s Right Hand Filling Heaven as He Helped me. 6: You see the wharftmete (compass) of my work like your own, but I have seen The Lord’s Ormete and Flawless Wharftmete Which Has No End. 7: You hear the words of my lips as I heard The Words of The Lord, unblimmingreathunder hurling cloud. 8: And now, children, hear the Learnings of the Father of the Earth. How Fearful and Awful it is to come before the Ansen of the Lord of the Earth, how muchmore Browful and Awful it is to come before the King of Heaven, Deemer of the Quick and the Dead, and of the heavendights? Who can take that endless throe? 40: 1: And now, my children, I know all things, for this is from the Lord’s Thilk Lips and this my eyes have seen from beginning to end. 2: I know all things and have written all things into books: the heavens and their end and their fulth and all the trumhordes and their marchings. 3: I have meten and retched the stars, the great tallyless dray thereof. 4: What man has seen their 15 The Book of Lear called Slavonic // The Runes of Lear wharftings and their foregates? For not even the sondsmen see their tally, while I have written all their names. 5: And I meted the sun’s wharft and meted its beams, tallied the stounds. I wrote down too all things that go over the earth. I have written the things that are moosed and all seed sown and unsown which the earth brings and all plants and every grass and every bloom and their sweet smells and their names and the dwellingsteads of the clouds and their makeup and their wings and how they bear rain and raindrops. 6: And I undersaught all things and wrote the road of
