Light, bright, fiery red
Kenaz in my heart and head
A torch, a beacon on a hill
Lights my path and windowsill.
Crafty dwarves with skill and might
Forge for me a flaming light
Deep in Earth where caverns dire
Rejoice to see the blessed fire.
A lantern, Freyja gives to me
A blessing sure, so I can see
When midnight darkness blinds my eyes
To keeps me safe until sunrise.
Sure I am warmed by Love’s flickering flame
That quickens in me Love’s gladsome game
Just as the fire that flickers hot
Warms the meat, within the pot.
Fire of Freyja I draw you down
From starlit Asgard, where you are crowned
Fire of Ken give light and heat
This torch in my hand, gives light for my feet.
Kenaz I send you by my hand
To be for me a fire brand
A torch of understanding, wise
Until the day lights up the skies.
