A description of the experience
The Poetic Edda
She remembers the first war in the world,
when they buttressed Gullveig with spears
and in One-eye's hall [Odin] they burned her
three times they burned her, three times she was reborn,
over and over, yet she lives still.
Bright One they called her, wherever she came to houses
the seer with pleasing prophecies, she charmed them with spells
she made magic wherever she could,
with magic she played with minds
