    Ok, disregard the other translation. This one is it :

    To Open Hill

    Carve this character on a pole of rowan. Paint the lines with blood from under your tongue.

    Knock on hills or rocks with the rowan and they will open.

    Hólastaf skal skera í reynistaur sem er eins og sproti. Blóð sem tekið er undan tungurótum á að bera í skurðinn.

    Ef sprotanum er slegið í hóla eða steina opnast þeir.

    Hólastaf should be cut into a testicle that is like a wand. Blood taken from the roots of the tongue should be carried into the incision.

    If the wand is hit by a stick in a hill or rocks, they open.
