  Rune Gild: 'On Havamal' by Philip Quadrio
The first section of Havamal is called Gestathattr or the guest’s section, containing allusions to a narrative related to a variant of the myth of the winning of the mead of poetry from Gunnlod (strophe 13).
Despite this we must also consider that the runes may have become mystified by their association with a new technology, that of literacy, and the inscriptions on memorial stones may be more indicative of care for the dead and respect for ancestors, than of mystical associations for runes.
Havamal was not directly quoted in Snorri’s Edda, raising the issue of whether he had access to this myth.

 OccultForums.com - Ásatrú Hello/Question   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It's definitely possible that the Poetic Edda in general in general and The Havamal in particular were meddled with by christians, but I'll add that they were both written in Iceland which was always a very tolerant country.
Another thing to consider when reading The Havamal is that when you read it, it becomes evident that the advice given in it is based on mistakes made by the All-Father himself.
Going back to these alleged distortions in The Havamal, why would a christian, like the monk Saemond if in fact he was actually a christian and not only posing as one for political reasons, want to preserve a book on the ethical principals of his forefathers if he were ashamed of them?

The sources in question are Havamal strophes 104-110; Havamal 13 & 14, Grímnismál 50, Ynglingatal 15, and a loose strophe preserved in the Younger Edda's Skáldskaparsmál 9; all of which make reference to Odin's recovery of the mead from a group of giants.
Thus from Havamal 104-110, we gather that Odin has arrived in a hall, filled with guests, to participate in a wedding and that he, in disguise, has taken the place of the expected groom.
In Havamal, Odin must play the part of the groom to achieve his aim, to retrieve the mead of inspiration kept by the giants.

Note: as Havamal teaches, Even Lord Wotan must pay a price when he acted in a dishonest way.
