Edda,

Baltoscandia. Edda [when making peace, aces and vana went to the bowl and spat in it. From this content, the gods made Kwasir a wise man. He came to visit Carls Fialar and Galar (Hiding and Singing). His blood was poured into the cauldron of Odrörir (Spirit-Driving), mixed with honey; whoever drinks would become a skald or a scientist. Asam was told that Kwasir himself drowned in wisdom. The Carls invited giant Gilling and his wife to visit them. They called Gilling for a boat ride, pointed her at the rocks, and Gilling drowned. The wife weeps, walks out the door, millstones fall on her head, she dies. Their son Suttung grabs the Carls and puts them on a rock that sinks into the sea at high tide. The Carls give a ransom - precious honey. Suttung hides honey in the rocks of Hnitbjörg (Colliding Cliffs), leaves his daughter Gunnled to guard him. Odin met nine slaves mowing hay. I sharpened their braids. They want to buy a sharpener. One threw the sharpener up. They all wanted to grab him and slashed each other's necks with braids. Alone spent the night with giant Bauga, Suttung's son. He complains that his nine slaves stabbed each other and does not know where to get the others. One called himself Bölwerk (Villain) and agreed to work for nine for a sip of Suttung honey. Baugie is willing to help get it. In winter, both went to Suttung, who refused to give honey. Bölwerk gave Baudy a drill and told him to drill the rock. He says it's ready. Deceives. Drills again. This time Bölwerk crawls inside like a snake, Baudy fails to pierce him with a drill. Bölwerk spent three nights with Gunnled, and for this she let him drink three sips of honey. He drained all three vessels, i.e. took all the honey. He turned into an eagle and flew away. Suttung also became an eagle and went in pursuit. The aces put up the bowl, and one eagle spit honey into it. Part is through the anus. This honey wasn't harvested, it's "the rhymoplet share"]: Younger Edda 1970:58-60.
