List of Norse Beings
Aegir
His name is connected with the word for water. He is also called Hler. Aegir
was the god of the seashore or ocean, and called the ruler of the sea by Snorri.
He was a personification of the ocean, be it good or evil. He caused storms
with his anger and the skalds said a ship went into "Aegir's wide jaws"
when it wrecked. Guerber states that Aegir was crowned with seaweed and always
surrounded by nixies and mermaids while in his hall. He was one of the Vanir
and a giant. His father was Mistarblindi [Mist-Blind], and his brother, Logi
[Fire]. Aegir's wife (and sister) was Ran and they lived under the sea by
the island Hlesey. Ran and Aegir had nine daughters who were the waves --
all of their names are poetic names for waves. Aegir brewed ale for the gods
after Thor brought him a big enough kettle. Every winter the gods would drink
beer at Aegir's home. He was, therefore, famed for his hospitality. Gold was
put onto the floor of the hall to provide light, instead of having a fire.
Gold is therefore called Aegir's fire. The cups in Aegir's hall were always
full, magically refilling themselves. Aegir had two servants in his hall,
Fimafeng [Handy] and Eldir [Fire-Kindler]. According to Lee Hollander, Aegir's
function as the gods' ale brewer was suggested by the ocean's foam. After
the death of Balder, the gods gathered for a feast in Aegir's hall. Loki showed
up and insulted everyone (this is told in Lokasenna in the Poetic Edda). The
gods couldn't do Loki harm in the hall since it was a sanctuary where no violence
could be committed. Aegir was also referred to by the name of Gymir [the Blinder]
(the name of Gerd's father -- it is not known if they are one and the same).
Sailors feared Aegir, and thought he would sometimes surface to destroy ships.
Early Saxons made human sacrifices to a god of the sea, possibly connected
with Aegir.
Balder/BaldR
One of the Aesir, his name means "The Glorious". He was also called
the "god of tears" and the "white as". Balder, the son
of Odin and Frigg, was described as a very handsome and wise god. Some consider
him to be a god of light since he was so bright, light shined from him.
Balder's wife was Nanna and they had a son named Forseti. Balder and Nanna lived in Breidablik [The Broad-Gleaming], where nothing unclean could be and there were "fewest baneful runes". Breidablik had a silver roof on golden pillars.
At one point Balder had a foreboding dream. Odin rode to Hel's realm to wake a volva from the dead to find out the meaning of Balder's dream. She foretold Balder's death by Hod (Hodur), his fraternal twin. Frigg asked all things to swear not to hurt Balder but didn't ask the mistletoe because it was so young. Loki, diguised as an old woman, visited Frigg and found out Balder was invunerable to everything but mistletoe. Loki made a dart out of mistletoe and tricked the blind god Hod into throwing it at Balder -- all the other gods were playing games by throwing various items at Balder --, thus killing him. Hermod rode to Hel's realm and got her to agree to let Balder return to the living if all things would weep for him. One giantess named Thokk, Loki in disguise, refused to weep for Balder, so he remained dead and was cremated on his funeral boat, hringhorni. He is supposed to come back to life after the Ragnarok.
Snorri and Saxo Grammaticus give very different views of Balder and his death. In Saxo's version of this story, Hod is alone responsible for Balder's death. Snorri's account is available online. Saxo gave a very different picture of Balder: he was a vicious god who fought with Hod to marry Nanna. Balder's name rarely occurs in place names, therefore, it is thought that not many people worshipped him. The poets used his name to mean warrior.
Bor
Son of Buri. His wife was Bestla, daughter of the frost giant Bolthorn. Bor
was the father of Odin, Vili, and Ve.
Bragi
God of poetry, (adopted?) son of Odin and the giantess Gunlod. He was the
chief poet of Odin. He was married to Idun.
There was a 9th century skald named Bragi Boddason and some believe he may
have been raised to a god by later writers.
Others believe Bragi was a pseudonym of Odin.
__Bragi was the god of poets and the skald of Valhalla, welcoming the honoured
dead into the hall. Runes is said to be carved
on his tongue. According to myth, Odhinn got Bragi on Gunnlodh when he stole
the mead of poetry. The minne-cup is also
called bragar-full when drunk to dead heroes or to seal an oath. Folk etymology
connects it with Bragi, but it is actually
derived from bragR, meaning hte "foremost" or "the best".
Bragi is called upon for poetic skill and eloquence; the harp is
traditionally associated with him. He is shown as old and long-bearded, in
spite of the fact that his wife keeps the apples of
youth.
Buri
The first god. The cow Audumla formed him by licking ice. He was the father
of Bor.
Eir
A goddess of healing, considered the best doctor. She taught her art to women
who were the only physicians in ancient Scandinavia.
Forseti
God of justice. He is the son of Balder and Nanna. His name means "presiding
one" and in The Poetic Edda, it says he is "the god that stills
all strife." His home is Glitnir [shining]. Forseti is said to reconcile
legal strife between men. He was mainly
worshiped by the Frisians. The Greatest seat of his cult was the temple on
the island Helgoland, near a sacred spring wich
the god brought forth when he gave the Frisians their code of laws. He hear
oaths and keeps the peace between men, his
justice being fair and reasonable to all.
Frey/FreyR
God of weather and fertility. He ruled over the land of the light elves, Alfheim.
He was the son of Njord and Njord's sister, and the brother of Freya. His
step-mother was Skadi. To make peace, the Aesir and Vanir exchanged hostages.
He, along with Njord and Freya, were sent by the Vanir to dwell with the Aesir.
He owned the ship Skidbladnir which was made for him by dwarves. It could
sail on the land, sea, or through the air. It was large enough to hold all
the gods, yet could be folded up and fit into a pocket. He also owned a chariot
drawn by two boars, Gullinbursti and Slidrugtanni. He could ride Gullinbursti
[golden-bristled] through the sky. It was made by dwarfs for Loki to give
to Frey. His name means "Lord" and it is thought that he was at
one time the consort of his sister Freya [Lady]. His wife was Gerd, a beautiful
giantess who he fell in love with when he espied her from Odin's throne. He
sent his servant, Skirnir, to win her for him. For this task, Frey lent Skirnir
his sword which "swings itself if wise he who wields it" and his
horse. After Skirnir's threatening of her, Gerd agreed to give herself to
Frey in nine nights at the forest Barri. At the Ragnarok, Frey will be killed
by the fire giant Surt.
Also known as Yng, Frey is named as the progenitor of the swedish royal family. There was a statue of Frey in the temple at Uppsala in Sweden, the center of his cult.
Freya, Freyja
Goddess of love, fertility, war, and wealth. Originally one of the Vanir.
She was the daughter of Njord, and the sister of Frey. Her daughter, by Od,
is named Hnoss who is so beautiful that whatever is valuable and lovely is
named "treasure", after her. She lived in Folkvang [battlefield]
and each day chose half of the slain warriors to split with Odin. She had
a husband named Od, whom she somehow lost and cried golden tears for. Many
believe Od is Odin. Her chariot was drawn by cats and she owned the precious
Brisings' necklace, which she slept with four dwarves to acquire. She also
owned a feather coat which she could use to fly between the worlds. After
she went to live with the Aesir as a hostage, she taught them -- including
Odin -- seiðr. Some sources say Friday is named after her.
Frigg/Frigga
Goddess of marriage. She is the wife of Odin, and Friday is named for her
(according to some). Her abode was called Fensalir [The Ocean Halls]. She
weaved the clouds.
Fulla (Volla)
Listed by Snorri as one of the twelve divine goddesses, she appears mainly
to function as Frigg's maid, taking care of the goddess's shoes. She also,
sometimes, functions as Frigg's messenger. Some believe she is Frigg's sister.
Snorri stated she was a virgin with long golden hair who wore a gold band
around her head. It has been suggested that this band represents the binding
around a sheaf of grain.
Gefjon
A prophetic virgin goddess and a member of the Aesir and Vanir. All women
who die virgins go to her hall. She was also a fertility goddess. In one myth,
Gylfi, king of Sweden, tells Gefjon, who was disguised as a beggar, that she
could have as much of Sweden as she could plough with four oxen in one day.
She traveled to Jotunheim and found her four oxen sons whom she had by a giant
(she isn't a virgin in this myth!). She returned to Sweden in Midgard with
her sons and ploughed all of the land now known as Zealand so it became part
of Denmark, thereby tricking Gylfi. Her name means "Giver".
Gna
Listed by Snorri as one of the divine goddesses but appears only to be a handmaiden
of Frigg who sends her on errands. She has a swift horse named Hoof-flourisher
which can run in the air and over water.
Gullveig
A Vanir goddess. The Aesir's attempt to kill her brought about the first war
in the world (the Vanir against the Aesir) which the Vanir won. The two tribes
exchanged gods and then ruled together. Gullveig [Power of Gold] has been
identified by some as the Triple Goddess, which was prevalent throughout the
old world. Also called Heid [witch]. According to some she is Freya.
Heimdall/HeimdallR
Watches the rainbow bridge, Bifrost , for the coming of the frost giants at
the Ragnarok, at which time he will sound his horn Gjallar. In the Ragnarok,
he and Loki will kill each other. He never sleeps, can see in the dark, and
can hear sheep wool growing. His dwelling place is Himinbjorg [heavenly mountains].
Nine sisters, signifying the waves, gave birth to him. As Rig, he begets Thrall,
Carl, and Earl, representing the three classes of man; slave, freeman, and
noble.
Hel/Hella
Daughter of Loki and the giant Angurboda. She is the sister of Fenrir (Fenris-wolf)
and Jormungand (Midgard serpent). She is the goddess of the underworld. Her
realm was Niflheim and her hall, Elvidnir [misery]. She was described as half
white and half black.
Hermod
Messenger of the gods. He rode to Hel's realm after the death of Balder to
try and convince her to let Balder come back from the dead.
Hlin
Snorri lists Hlin as a goddess charged with protecting those men who Frigg
wants kept safe. Called by others a goddess of consolation who was supposed
to "kiss away the tears of mourners". In most sources, Hlin is just
another name for Frigg.
Hod
Son of Odin. He is the blind god of winter, who is tricked by Loki into killing
Balder. His name means "war". Vali, a son of Odin, avenged Balder's
death by killing Hod.
Hoenir
After the war between the Aesir and the Vanir, he was sent as a hostage to
the Vanir. He gave sense to the first humans. He possibly was Vili, a brother
of Odin who helped create the world.
Huldra
A goddess who was attended by wood nymphs. They had cow tails which could
be seen hanging out from beneath their white robes. They were the protectors
of cattle, and sang beautifully. She is an aspect of Frigg.
Idun
Goddess who is married to Bragi and is the keeper of the apples which keep
the gods eternally young. The storm giant Tjasse abducts her and the gods
start to age until Loki kills the giant and retrieves Idun. Goddess of youth,
her name means "The Rejuvenating One".
Jord/JorðR
Earth goddess. Mother of Thor and Frigg.
Kvasir
His function depends on which source you read, like many of the Norse god/goddesses.
In one myth, he is the wisest of the Vanir and sent to the Aesir as a hostage
in a peace making process. In another tradition, he is created when the Aesir
and Vanir mix together their spit in a peace making ritual. He is the wisest
being. Later on, he is killed by dwarves who make his blood into mead, the
mead of poetry.
Lodur
He gave appearance and speech to the first humans. He is identified with Ve
by some and Loki by others.
Lofn
Goddess concerned with sparking passionate love. She had permission from Odin
and Frigg to do so even for those who were forbidden to marry.
Loki
A giant. He became a member of the Aesir when Odin made Loki his blood brother.
He is the god of mischief, a trickster, and very cunning. After causing the
death of Balder, he was bound by the gods until the Ragnarok, at which time,
he will be freed. There are quite a few sites dealing with Loki including
a wonderful on-line essay by Johannes Persson, an article by Eric A. Anderson
regarding Loki's offspring, and the Loki Cult Web Page.
Magni
A son of Thor, he will survive the Ragnarok. His name means "strong".
Mimir
A wise being. Possibly the son of Bolthorn. In some myths a god and in others
a giant. He was sent as a hostage by the aesir to the vanir. The vanir became
mad and cut his head off. Odin preserved his head so he could seek wisdom
from it and placed it next to Mimir's well.
Modi
A son of Thor, he will survive the Ragnarok. His name means "courage".
Nanna/Selüne
Moon goddess according to Bulfinch. Wife of Balder and mother of Forseti.
She dies of heartache after Balder's death and is burned with him on his funeral
boat -- along with his chopped up horse and an unfortunate dwarf who Thor
kicked in at the last minute.
Nerthus
Possibly an older version of Njord (as the opposite sex) or his sister with
whom he has Frey and Freya. She was a fertility goddess whose worship was
centered in Denmark.
Njord
God of the wind and sea, father of Frey and Freya.He is a member of the vanir
and his home is Noatun. His wife was the giantess Skadi. As compensation for
the death of her father Thjatsi, the gods decided to let her pick a husband
from among them -- one catch, she had to pick her new husband based only on
the appearance of his feet. She picked Njord by mistake, assuming his feet
belonged to Balder. Njord and Skadi could not agree on where to live. She
didn't like his home, and he didn't like her's, so they split up. She was
associated with skiing and hunting.
Odin/Wotan/Wodan/Woden/Oddhinn/Odhinn/Oden
Leader of the Aesir. Odin had a myriad of names including Allfather, Ygg,
Bolverk [evil doer], and Grimnir. He also had many functions including being
a god of war, poetry, wisdom, and death. His halls were called Gladsheim Valaskjalf
and Valhalla. Odin's high seat, Hlidskialf, was in Valaskjalf. It was from
this throne that he could see over all the world. Valhalla is where he gathered
his portion of the slain warriors, Einheriar, whom the valkyries had chosen.
The valkyries would serve mead which forever flowed from the udder of Odin's goat, Heidrun. They also served the warriors meat that came from the boar Saehrimnir, which the cook Andhrimnir would prepare for eating by boiling it in the cauldron Eldhrimnir. The boar magically came back to life before the next meal. After eating, the warriors would go outside the hall and fight each other to the death. They were, of course, brought back to life before the next feast. All of this fighting was practice for when Odin would lead the Einheriar in the final battle, Ragnarok.
Odin had a spear named Grungir which never missed its mark and a bow which unleashed ten arrows with every pull. He also owned a magic ring called Draupnir which created nine of itself every night. It was this ring that Odin laid on his son Balder's funeral pyre and which Balder returned to Odin from the underworld. Another one of Odin's prized possesions was his wonderful steed named Sleipnir which had eight legs.
The horse was the offspring of Loki, who in mare form seduced a giant's horse named Svadilfari. Sleipnir could travel to the underworld and through the air. Odin also had two wolves, Geri and Freki, and two ravens, Hugin [thought] and Munin [memory]. He sent his ravens out every day to gather knowledge for him.
Odin sacrificed himself for knowledge by hanging on the world tree, Yggdrasil, which means Ygg's horse. Ygg is a name for Odin and horse is a metaphor for the gallows. He thereby learns the runes. Another sacrifice he made for wisdom was his eye. He gave it up in order to drink from the Well of Mimir which bestowed great knowledge. Because of this, he is typically depicted as having one eye. He is also depicted as wearing a cloak, being old, having a long grey beard, and wearing a wide brimmed hat down low over his face to conceal his one-eyed visage.
Odin was destined to die at Ragnarok; Fenris-Wolf swallowed him. Knowing his fate, he still chose to embrace it and do battle. Showing the true warrior ethic. He was the god of warriors and kings, not the common man. Many heroes genealogies start with Odin, including Sigurd. His name is not found in many place names and therefore it is believed that not many people worshipped him. He was thought to be a traitorous god, as shown in the sagas, who would strike down a warrior at his whim.
Ran
The wife of Aegir, she was the sea goddess of storms. She collects drowned
people in her net.
Saga
Goddess who drinks with Odin in her hall Sokkvabekk. Her name means "seeress"
and is connected with the norse word for history -- thus, some call her the
goddess of history. Some consider her just an aspect of Frigg.
Sif
Goddess of crops and fertility, married to Thor. At one point, Loki stole
her hair and had to replace it. He went to the dwarves and had them make her
a new set of hair out of gold. An interesting thing to note is that short
hair was a sign of a whore or a slave.
Skadhi/Skaði __Although Skadhi is not herself one of
the Vanir, she is classes among then because of her marriage to Njord. She
is the daughter of the jotun Thajzi. It has been considered that, like UllR,
she was one of the original gods of Scandinavia, possibly Finnish in origin,
and Branston even claims that she was the eponymous founder of Scandinavia:
Skadinauja. Her name may mean "Shadow" or "Scathe"; she
is the goddess of snowshoes and a great huntress with the bow.
__Skadhi came armed to the Æsir seeking weregild for her father Thjazi,
whom they had slain. She set two conditions: The first was that the gods should
make her laugh, the second that she might choose one of then as her husband.
To fulfill the first condition, Loki tied one end of a rope to his testicles
and the other to a goat, and the grotesque antics performed by the two of
them until the rope broke and Loki tumbled into her lap finally made her laugh.
Here one may see the formula of ingwaz again: the mock castration and the
surrender of the fiery masculine to fertilize the frozen feminine. The husband
Skadi wished was BaldR-a solar figure-but she had to choose her husband by
his feet alone, and it so happened that the handsomest pair of feet belonged
to Njord. This is obviously, part of the ancient fertility ritual symbolized
by the bare footprint. They married and lived comfortably for a while, but
since Skadhi could not bear to live by the sea and Njord could not bear the
howling of the wolves and wind in her mountain home Thrymheim, the two finally
separated.
Sjofn (Vjofn)
Goddess concerned with causing men and women to think of love. It was her
duty to stop fights between married couples.
Snotra
Wise and gentle goddess. Guerber calls her the goddess of virtue and master
of all knowledge. She knew the value of self-discipline.
Syn
Goddess who was invoked by defendents at a trial. She was another attendant
of Frigg and guarded the door of Frigg's palace.
Thor/ThorR, Thunnar
The son of Odin and a member of the Aesir, he was the god of thunder and the
main enemy of the giants. He would smash their heads with his mighty hammer
Mjollnir. To wield this awesome weapon he needed iron gloves and a belt of
strength. Mjollnir would return to Thor's hand after being thrown and was
symbolic of lightning. Thor would ride around middle-earth in his wagon drawn
by two goats, His abode was Thruthheim [Land of Strength] and his hall, Bilskinir.
His wife was Sif.
The god ThorR was, along with FreyR, the most generally worshipped of the
Teutonic gods. In the great temple at Uppsala,
his statue was set in the highest place between and above those of Odhinn
and FreyR. ThorR was generally seen as a
faithful warder and provider, a god who would keep faith with his worshipers,
as contrasted with Odhinn.
__In myth, ThorR is usually show as the common man writ large: a tireless
eater, drinker, and fighter (though none too bright).
The Eddic lay Harbardzljodh gives an interesting picture of the differences
between ThorR and Odhinn. The two gods meet.
Odhinn being disguised as a ferryman, and they engage in a contest of boasting.
ThorR's list of triunphs deals with his slaying
of giants and bersekers; Odhinn's with seduction, betrayal, and stirring up
war. Odhinn then insults ThorR, who can only
reply with the threat of force, and refuses to ferry him over the river, forcing
him to walk around the long way. It is interesting
to note that ThorR, who fights against the giants, is very like then in strenght,
size, great appetite, and seemingly uncomplicated
character. This is why he is so effective as a warder, being able to beat
then at their own game, as it were. ThorR is the foe
of Midgaardhr Wyrm.
__ThorR is the warder of Midgardhr; he is also the warder and hallower of
all things holy. The hammer is swung over
something to hallow it. It is put in the lap of the new bride both as a fertility
symbol and as a consecration; it is also used to
hallow the funeral pyre. The uses of the hammer symbol have already been described.
A flash of lightning at the beginning of
any undertaking was thought of as a very good omen. In this side of his being,
ThorR is sometimes called upon in runic
inscriptions to hallow the runes or that upon which they are carved. He is
also called VeurR-Hallower
or Holy Warder - and VingThorR, "ThorR the Hallower".
__Like Oddhinn, ThorR seems to have usurped certain aspects of the Sky-Father's
position. He is often compared to Jupiter,
as the benevolent sky-god who can also hurl thunder and lightning and who
is the greatest of gods. ThorR's aid was called
upon in bringing ships safely out of storms. He is also the god of pilars
which support the roof of a house or temple. His image
was sometimes carved into these, and some of the early settlers in Iceland
called upon his aid in finding their seats by throwing
their house-pillars overboard and building where the god sent them.
__As the god ruling thunder, lightning and rain, ThorR is something of a fertility
god. The hammer is, of course, a phallic
symbol, and the success of a harvest is as dependent on the sky as it is on
the earth. He was thus invoked for prosperity and
for a good harvest.
__ThorR can always be seen to embody the powers of order, protection, and
holiness. He, rather than Odhinn, was the
defender of Norse heathenism against Christianity; the battle of the faiths
was the struggle between Red ThorR and the
White Christ. The most beloved of theTeutonic heroes were those such as Beowulf
who, like ThorR, fought only against the
woe-working chaos embodied by the out-dwellers. If one should be unable to
restrain a need to call upon Loki, or if that
wight's presence should at once call upon ThorR, "whose strength keeps
Loki in line" (Ingvar Solve Ingvisson, conversation).
__ThorR is always show as large, burly, and red-bearded; flame flashes from
his eyes. He walks or rides in a chariot drawn
by the two he-goats Tanngnjost (Tooth-gnasher) and Tanngrisnir (Tooth-gritter).
It is interesting that in parts of Germany,
Santa Claus also rides in a chariot draw by the two goats Donner and Blitzen
(Thunder and Lightning). ThorR can slay and eat
his goats, and when he hallows their hides and bodes with his hammer Mjollnir,
they come to life again. This Hammer, which
always returns to his hand after it has been Thrown, is the lightning he wields.
His name, ThorR, girdle of strength, and iron
gloves, as Mjollnir's handle is a little short. He is the son of JordR (earth)
and father of a daughter named ThrudhR (mighty),
and two sons named Magni (The Strong) and Modhi (the Courageous).
__The holy animal of ThorR is the goat.
He was foremost of the gods to the common man, who would call on him to ensure fertility, and widely worshiped. Hammer shaped amulets, a symbol of Thor because it was his weapon, were worn about the neck well into the christianization of Scandinavia. There are molds from that time which contain both cross and hammer shapes, side by side. His name occurs in numerous place names, and it was his statue which was central in the great temple at Uppsala. Thursday is named for him and he was associated by the Romans with Jupiter. Donar was an early version of Thor among the early Germans. The anglo-saxons worshiped a thunder god named Thunor.
Thrud
Daughter of Thor. The dwarf Alvis wanted to marry her but Thor tricked him
into being above ground when the sun came up, turning him into stone.
Tyr
God of war. He was the only god brave enough to put his hand in the Fenris-
wolf's mouth so the gods could bind it. The wolf bit off his right hand. There
is much debate about his lefthandedness. In the norse culture the right hand
was given for a pledge, which could be why the right hand was placed in the
wolf's mouth. It has also been noted, however, that the offering of the right
hand is to show that it is free of weapons. A left handed person was sometimes
considered evil because he could use a weapon with his left hand even though
he shook with his right hand. Tuesday is named for Tyr who was known as Tiw,
or Tiu, by the Anglo-Saxons.
Ull
God of archery and the hunt, according to some he was a god of skiers and
the snowshoe. His weapon was a longbow made out of Yew and he lived in Ydal
[Yew Dales]. He was called upon for help in duels. He was the son (or step-son)
of Thor and Sif (or Ovandrill, depending on the source). His name, which means
glorious, is a part of many place names, therefore, he is considered to be
an ancient god who was widely worshipped. It is believed that at one time
he was one of the highest gods.
Vali
In some sources, the twin brother of Vidar. In other sources, he is the youngest
of Odin's sons. His mother is the giantess Rind and he was born for the express
purpose of avenging Balder's death since the gods could not kill one of their
own. When he was only one night old, he killed Hod. He will be one of the
seven Aesir to survive the ragnarok.
Var
Goddess who punishes those who do not keep their marriage vows. Probably the
same as Vor, and just a part of Frigg.
Ve
Son of Bor and Bestla, brother of Vili and Odin. He is identified with Lodur
by some. Killed the giant Ymir and created the world out of its carcass along
with his brothers. He gave the first humans feeling, appearance, and speech.
His name means "Holiness".
Vidar
He was a son of Odin and Grid (a giantess), and had a twin brother named Vali.
He dwelled in Vidi. He was one of the strongest of the gods and can be considered
a god of vengance. In the ragnarok he will avenge his father by killing Fenris.
He is one of the Aesir who will survive the final battle.
Vili
Son of Bor and Bestla, brother of Odin and Ve. Along with Odin and Ve, he
killed the giant Ymir and created the cosmos out of Ymir's carcass. He made
the first man and woman, along with Odin and Ve. He gave the humans thought
and motion. He is identified with Hoenir by some and only as a part of Odin
by others. His name means "Will".
Vor
A godess whose name means "vow". Nothing can be hidden from her
because she is so wise. She is considered by some to be a goddess of marriage
and contracts. She is probably an aspect of Frigg.
