You have a footnote on the phrase "leet-wood" mentioning that this is a reference to Heen restoring the bloot and practicing divination. Idk if you think this is relevant or not, but it might be worth adding that Tacitus described divination with wooden slips being the responsibility of the priest of a community or father of a family. It could be that this phrase is meant to clue us into to the idea that Heen is now taking on the leadership role formerly occupied by Weden.

Oh, as kind of a joke wrt "the sons of the brothers of Tway", Trev from the Discord would probably tell you that "sons of Odin's brothers" is just another way of saying "sons of Odin" because he threefold and Vili and Vé are both his brothers and also aspects of himself. Therefore the sons named here would be Baldr, Höðr, and Víðarr.
