Nidhogg is a serpent or dragon in Norse Mythology that eats the roots of the Yggdrasil
 
By the roots that twist 
By sinew and bone 
By all that is sacred 
Twisted and grown 
I swear to the gods 
I swear on all I own
I will pull through again 
I will survive this storm 
 
I am the wind that rustles the leaves 
I am the squirrel that passes on these things 
From nidhogg to nilfenhiem 
On Odin's beard 
I swear that your venom curses both you and your wyrd 
 
By verdandis hands 
Weaving worn 
By Skuld and her waters 
By Urd it be known, 
I see the the falling and rising of tone 
May your venom rebound 
May you reap what you've sewn. 
 
May you experience all you put out,
May you take inspiration from kinder things 
After all real wisdom isn't found 
It's a gift from the gods, no need to shout.
No peice of paper can set you apart. 
If you don't hold your tribe highest in regard. 
An may you learn a lesson 
About humility dear. 
For if you are not a true vessel. 
The gods wrath you must fear
