VöR

Vör is a lesser-known goddess in Norse mythology, closely associated with wisdom, awareness, and perception. As one of Frigg’s trusted handmaidens, she possesses an all-seeing knowledge that makes it impossible to deceive her : nothing remains hidden from Vör. Her name itself is linked to vigilance, symbolizing her role as a divine embodiment of truth and insight. While little is recorded about her deeds, Vör’s presence in the mythological tradition highlights the value of wisdom and the importance of uncovering hidden truths in both the mortal and divine realms.

JöRD

Jörd, a powerful and enigmatic figure in Norse mythology, is the personification of the Earth and one of Odin’s many Jötunn lovers. As the mother of Thor, she plays a crucial role in the lineage of the gods, though little is recorded about her beyond this connection. Some sources suggest she is also the mother of Meili, another son of Odin, though less known.

Daughter of Nótt, the goddess of Night, and Annar, who may be Odin himself, Jörd bridges the divide between the Æsir and the Jötnar, embodying both primeval chaos and divine order. Though often overshadowed by other goddesses like Frigg and Freyja, her influence is undeniable; as the Earth itself, she nurtures life and provides a foundation for existence.

Eir whose names mean grace, gentleness , reconciliation, protection and help is regarded as a goddess and or Valkyrja of healing/medical skills. You can blota to her if you want help with healing ailments and diseases.

Both Poetic Edda and Prose Edda mention her. In poetic Edda she is mentioned as one of the braidsmaids to Menglöd (Menglǫð/ Menglöð) and that Eir and her sisters will answer if someone offer to them.

I decided to draw her with a Bolmört (Henbane) and Läkemalva (Marshmallow). I should buy some and offer some to her next year. Perhaps we could ask for not only healing help but also help with studying, finding herbs.

Laufey or Nál is a figure from Norse mythology, the mother of Loki and consort of Farbauti. Eddic poetry refers to Loki by the matronym Loki Laufeyjarson. Nál means “needle”; according to Sörla þáttr, Laufey was also called this because she was “both slender and weak.” The meaning of Laufey is less clear but is generally taken to be “full of leaves”; as Fárbauti means “dangerous hitter,” there is a possible nature mythological interpretation with lightning hitting the leaves or needles of a tree to give rise to fire.

Runes! This was an assignment to create a set of flashcards that would appeal to kids and adults for my Type 1 class. They each have the rune symbol, the name of the rune, the meaning in English, the meaning (roughly translated by google, thanks google) in Norwegian, and a little icon I made. I made the big rune characters, but the display font is Comic Runes by takuminokami on Font Space (thanks internet). The cards are 3 inches by 4.5 inches. 

Also please don’t yell at me if the meanings of these are wrong, my research was not particularly scholarly. (Once again, thanks internet :p)

Ulfhednar An interesting depiction of Norse myth. Such skin-changers are now called Werewulf, or loup garou, In ancient times it was respected as a warrior–not a monster. Their ferocity in battle was much admired. Even in the Middle Ages, when such sorcery was condemned as witchcraft, one accused werewolf asserted that, far from consorting with the Devil, he was “God’s Dog.”
