Great Thor the Thunderer!
Warder of life, Waker of Lightning,
Thrice mighty Thurse-queller
Of Earth Mother the Ase-son,
Allfather's Red Aetheling,
Holiness and Hallower,
Woe of the World Serpent,
Wain-God and Wind Rider:
Our greatest blot and blessing,
To help, in Midgard's holding
Against foes of frith and freedom,
You, Lorride, Lord of Mjollnir!
Thanks to You, Thor
Well do You ward us,
Bring we gladly brimming meadhorns
Your thirst to quench, Thunderer
Gift to You, God of Storms
Our life, love and laughter,
That you ever them enjoy,
For in grith grow we truly
Warded by Woden's Son!

Zauberspruch auf Althochdeutsch
von Answin
donar unde lohe fuoren zi liutin
do wart doneres bluostar bi diot giezzan
da biguol iz ansu unde ancalun wihta
wihta fele unde fleisclosun beina
bein zi beina
fleisc zi fele
avarboran si gitriuwi boc
Zauberspruch auf Deutsch
Donner und Lohe fuhren zu den Menschen
Dort wurde Donners Opfer beim Volke verspeist
Da besang es der Anse und weihte die Knöchel
Er weihte das Fell und die fleischlosen Knochen
Knochen zu Knochen
Fleisch in das Fell
wiedergeboren sei der getreue Bock
A Charm in Old High German by Answin
English Translation
Thunar and Loki travelled to the people
there Thunar's sacrifice was eaten by the Folks
Then the As (God) sang a charm to it (the sacrifice) and hallowed the ankles
he hallowed the pelt and the fleshless bones
bone to bone
flesh to pelt
born again be the faithfull he-goat .
