Volve, or Völva (noun), in Old Norse, means a female practitioner of magic, divination and prophecy; by extension, any prophetess, sooth-sayer or witch. The poem Voluspå (Völuspá) tells the story for the creation of the world and its coming end and subsequent rebirth, told to Odin by a völva. Voluspå is the best known poem of the Poetic Edda. No one knows exactly how old these poems are, the best estimate is that they can’t have been written before 985. Like most early poetry, the Eddic poems were minstrel poems, passed orally from singer to singer and from poet to poet for centuries.
