Many of the stories tell of Bragi being in Valhalla with Odin. Bragi is very wise and has runes cut into his tongue. Bragi inspires humans by having them drink from the Mead of Poetry. Other times, Bragi pours the mead down from the Heavens and whosoever it lands on is granted with skaldic (Of or pertaining to the scalds of the Norsemen; as, scaldic poetry) abilities.
