What do you think the Havamal is? Is it the direct words of Odin, words inspired him/his values, or just some good words of wisdom with no direct association to him?
Do you consider it scripture, why? Either way, what do you think it takes for something to be scripture?
What is scripture really? The words of a god? Words inspired by a god? A foundational text of a faith? A text members of the faith look to for guidance? The Havamal is certainly some of these things, maybe all of these things.
I'm not really saying we should look at it one way or the other, I'm just interested in what you all think about this.
