Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Eisa and Eimyja, Glowing Embers, and Ashes Embers - V2 Well here we are on another ThorsDay with another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, sometimes Celtic) mythological characters.  This week it’s a version of Eisa / Eysa and Eimyja / Einmyria of the Jotnar (Jotun / Jotunn / Jetten / Eoten / Giant / Risi) mentioned in the Eddas

Eisa / Eysa, translated as ‘glowing embers’ Is likely from the Proto Germanic meaning “glowing”, “hot coal” or a “burning fire”. With Eimyja, translated as ‘Ashes and Embers’ Is likely from the Proto Germanic words ‘aimuzjǭ’, meaning “embers”, “hot ash” or a “pyre”. And ‘aimaz’ meaning “to burn”.

Jotuns and Daughters to the elemental god Eldr Logi / Logi / Hálogi ‘high flame’. Elemental Personification of Wildfire and described as Risi or a towering giant type of Jotun. Along with their mother the giantess Glöð / Glut / Glod ’glad’ or “’glowing embers’.

Both Eisa and Eimyja are renown for their beauty. They’re described as the first family of kings of Norway and their royal line. All are described initially as, unusually tall, muscular, and beautiful.

Portraying them as older and elemental versions of themselves this time. I think I’ll likely do one more elemental version and an older but human looking version after this.

Portraying them as older and more human looking versions for this last version. And in some fire giant formal attire for good measure.

Portraying them as older and more literal elemental versions of themselves this time. I think I’ll likely do one more older but human looking version after this.

I chose to portray them ask their younger selves first. I’ll do some aged up versions and some more elemental versions next.
