Frost Giants!
A Winter Invocation by Rupert Ferguson.
Frost Giants, Jötnar, Children of Ymir! Your deeds echo down the ages, In the poetry of the Skalds!
Frost Giants, Jötnar, Children of Ymir! Your Father, spawn of ice floes, In Élivágar of Ginnungagap!
Frost Giants, Jötnar, Dwellers in Jötunheimr! Darkest, most foreboding, Of all the Nine Worlds!
Frost Giants, Jötnar, Children of Ymir! Dwellers in that place, Where Winters never cease!
Rupert Ferguson is a writer, published author, journalist and filmmaker. His bardic ancestors include the Clan MacVurich Hereditary Bards to the Chiefs of Clanranald.

The child Ymir Suckling the Cow Audhumla by Nicolai Abildgaard (1743-1809)
The primordial Norse God Ymir would eventually father the Frost Giants or Jötnar in the Élivágar or Ice Floes of Ginnungagap!
