History

In Norse mythology, before the creation of the world, there existed two realms - the icy realm of Niflheim and the fire realm of Muspelheim. When the icy rimes of Niflheim met the heat from Muspelheim, drops formed which shaped the first being - Ymir/Aurgelmir, a frost giant. Ymir fed from the udders of the cosmic cow Audhumla. As Audhumla licked salty rime stones, she licked into shape the first man, Buri. Ymir was able to reproduce asexually. Under his arm pits grew a male and female, and his feet reproduced another giant with six heads. From Ymir came all the early races of frost giants. Buri's son Bor married a giantess and they had three sons - Odin, Vili and Ve. These became the first gods. read more
