Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Happy Thorsday - Fjorgyn, Earth Goddess

Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic) mythological characters.  This week it’s Fjorgyn / Fiörgyn mentioned in the Völuspá and Hárbarðsljóð.

Her name has been translated from Old Norse as 'Earth'. And is considered the feminine version. With Fjörgynn being the masculine and attributed to Friggs father.

Mentioned as Thor's mother. As Jord is also mentioned as such it's possible that these are just two names for the same person. As both names mean 'earth', and are considered Earth Goddesses.

So I worte a new years prayer dedicated my Gods, Fjorgyn, Lofn and Vidar. Thought I would share it with you all 💙

May Fjorgyn bless me

with Strenght, to grow and bloom,

and with Calm from the World

May Lofn bless me

with Love, for self and all,

with Frienship, from unexpected places,

and with Confidence in my feelings.

May Vidar bless me

with Courage, to stand up for myself and others,

with Resilience, to survive this year,

and with Silence when it gets to much.

Working with deities has been something I have been very standoffish about for a while and I've been sort of pushing the idea away, all while feeling pulled to a certain few. So I finally did it, I jumped in and made little offerings/symbols to Freya, Frigga, and Fjorgyn and put them on my makeshift altar. . . Freyas bottle is layered with pink salt, cinnamon, glitter, citrine points, and shed cat claws. 🐱 . The box for Frigga is filled with different spices and it smells so amazing and homey! Also contains sewing needles, a piece of cast off yarn from my current project, a rose quartz heart and an electric candle. 🏡 . The mini planting pot is for Fjorgyn of course. Layered with fake and real plants, acorns, bark, and both tree and moss agate. 🍃

Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Happy Thorsday - Fjorgyn, Earth Goddess - V2

Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic) mythological characters.  This week it’s a second version of Fjorgyn / Fiörgyn mentioned in the Völuspá and Hárbarðsljóð.

Her name has been translated from Old Norse as ‘Earth’. And is considered the feminine version. With Fjörgynn being the masculine and attributed to Friggs father.

Just did a talk with Fjorgyn (Jord), after not getting contact a few times, and the only thing I got from her was Jera on the question: “Is there something you would like to tell me?”. All other questions got blank answers. She basically told me that this is resting now after a year of hard work and to come back later.

#FJORGYNN #FJORGYN References to him in Old Norse literature are even sparser than those to his female counterpart. In the Lokasenna, one of the poems in the Poetic Edda, the goddess Frigg is called Fjörgyns mær.[5]This phrase can be literally translated as “Fjorgynn’s maiden,” which could mean either “Fjorgynn’s daughter” or “Fjorgynn’s mistress.” The medieval Icelandic historian Snorri Sturlusonclaimed that Frigg was Fjorgynn’s daughter,[6] but Snorri can’t be taken at face value. The passage in the Lokasennahas Loki taunting Frigg over her infidelity and promiscuity, and in that context, mær can hardly mean anything but “mistress.” So this passage tells us nothing about Fjorgynn except that he slept with Frigg. Of course, few if any of the Norse gods and goddesses have been noted for their chastity or fidelity, so this passage tells us essentially nothing about Fjorgynn. Unfortunately, those two throwaway mentions are Fjorgynn’s only appearances in Old Norse literature. To gain any insight into Fjorgynn’s character, then, we have to turn to another kind of source: comparative religion. The thunder god of the Slavs and Balts of Eastern Europe, who was called Perun (“Striker”) or Perkunas, was essentially identical to Thor in his attributes and role within the Slavic and Baltic pantheons and mythologies. There are also many areas of overlap between those deities and the Hindu storm god Parjanya.[7] Such correspondences are relatively common amongst the various branches of the Indo-European peoples, which include the ancient Slavs, Balts, Norse, and Indians (India’s Indians, not American Indians, of course).
