High key headcanon Fjorgyn (Thor’s mom) to look like this

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.

Do you have designs of Team SPRN’s families as well?

Team SPRN is a bit of a funky one simply because I actually haven’t changed many of the designs, so I haven’t done any full body models of most of them. 

Pyrrha and Ren are simply because their canonical designs in RWBY is how they look in AZRE. I like the designs of all three of them, and I didn’t add any additional family members. The only difference is Pyrrha’s mother has brown eyes rather than green, so that she doesn’t follow the RWBY issue of the mothers literally being clones of their daughters.

Obligatory edit to show her with brown eyes. She really popped off with them. 

Now Sun’s family is different because his entire backstory is different to his canonical one. His family is Eliana and the Marrón siblings, and they have their designs already posted to this blog, so I don’t wanna bog this post down by reuploading them. 

That really does just leave Nora, and I actually changed her mother in canon to a grandmother who Nora travelled around with. 

Her name is Fjorgyn, and she is the badass viking grandma that taught Nora everything when she was a kid. 

Obviously, Nora wears more modern clothing, but older people in AZRE tend to prefer to wear clothing that’s more connected to their ancestry, and that goes especially for the Ankou; an ethnic group that come from Western Solitas. Both Nora and her grandma come from this group, so both have more Norse style clothing and naming to fit the Scanadanvian coding of the Ankou. 

Since her allusion is Jörð, the personification of Earth, and her name specifically comes from earth, I made her colour pallete a very earthy one with browns, oranges and greens. The white adds another colour that helps break up a lot of the very dark and muddy colours.

The marking on her face is actually face paint. In the lore, the Ankou used face paint to denominate one’s place in their society, and Fjorgyn originally had the markings of a seamstress, but the exile of her and her house ended up forcing her to wear the marking of an outcast.

I like the grandma and her design. It’s nothing crazy like some of my favourite designs, but she is ultimately a backstory character to connect one of the more prominent characters in Nora.

[woundedheartwithin]

Hither there comes the son of Hlothyn, The bright snake gapes to heaven above; Against the serpent goes Othin's son. In anger smites the warder of earth, — Forth from their homes must all men flee; — Nine paces fares the son of Fjorgyn, And, slain by the serpent, fearless he sinks.

The Poetic Edda, Völuspá 55 Henry Adams Bellows’s translation (1936)

Everything except mistletoe who was too young and harmless to even understand. Loki disguised himself as an old woman and tricked Frigg into telling him about the mistletoe, she said "East of Valhalla is a plant called mistletoe; it seemed to me to young to wear." Loki took a twig from the plant and made it into a dart, then telling Baldr's blind brother Hodr to throw it at him, it pierces the god's skin and he fell to the ground leaving the god's speechless before they began to weep bitterly. Some say that they had a funeral for him on a Pyre ship, Nanna accompanying him, but others say Frigg persuaded all gods, animals, plants to say that they wanted the god back. His life was restored and Frigg repaid them with kisses. Either way, Loki was then locked in a cave as punishment for his crime -this is where he waits for the Doom of the Gods, aka Ragnarock.

[elementalmysticblog]

In this reading I ask the Norse Goddess Fjorgyn what they want us to know about them. I got a beautiful response that show synchronicity between the cards and what information is out there on the internet. I pull at least 1 card from 7 different decks, each deck represents a different element or archetype of energy.

Keep in mind that these readings are for entertainment purposes only, I do not claim to be an expert in any subject that I am exploring. Just enjoy the journey with me if you choose to!

[the-sister-of-samhain]

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. 🍃

Viking Adds Eight New River Cruise Ships to Fleet

Viking Adds Eight New River Cruise Ships to Fleet

Viking adds eight new river cruise ships to Fleet Viking recently christened eight new river cruise ships during a celebration in Paris. Of the eight Viking Longships, four ships – Viking Fjorgyn, Viking Kari, Viking Radgrid, and Viking Skaga – were built to navigate the river Seine and bring guests to the heart of Paris with an exclusive docking location at Port de Grenelle, just one short walk…

[wolfanitas-art]

There are many pictures of Norse deities where they look as if the local biker gang had staged a Wagner opera. So all the more I wanted to give them a respectful and more accurate design. I gave my best to draw them with their basic and most known attributes, but still I did neither try nor want to make this an archeological reconstruction of how the Norse depicted their gods. It is still just an artist’s interpretation, I drew them how I imagine them.

Since these myths are very old and very much of them is lost, there are in parts so many different, often contradicting versions of who is how related to whom and did what where and why, that I will give you just a very simple Who’s Who:

Odin: first of the gods, one-eyed god of battle, death and poetry, father of Thor and Balder, husband of Frigg, has two all-seeing ravens, will be devoured by the wolf Fenrir during Ragnarok (the end of the world)

Thor: red-bearded god of thunder and the sky, son of Odin and Fjorgyn (the Earth), husband of Sif, guardian of the gods, drives a chariot drawn by goats, will be poisoned and killed by the giant Midgard Serpent Jormungand during Ragnarok

Loki: attractive, ambivalent, shape-shifting, mischief-making god, son of giants (mostly named as Farbauti and Laufey (the latter is the mother, btw)),husband of Sigyn, grows progressively more evil, causes the death of Balder, then bound till Ragnarok, when he and Heimdall will kill one another (they never got along)

Frigg: first of the goddesses, goddess of love, life, marriage, protection, sees much, tells nothing, wife of Odin, mother of Balder

Freya: goddess of love, lust, fertility, magic, battle, mistress of the Valkyries, a Vanir (the two god ‘clans’ were Aesir and Vanir), daughter of Njord, twin-sister of Freyr, has a magical falcon cloak and a chariot drawn by huge cats

Sif: golden-haired goddess of harvest, wife of Thor, her spectacular hair was cut off by Loki, so he had to ask the dwarfs for a wig for her, which was in all aspects like real hair, just better (the hammer Mjolnir was forged then, too)

Freyr: charming god of fertility, prosperity, sunshine, a Vanir, husband of the frost giantess Gerd, son of Njord, twin-brother of Freya, has a magical ship and a magical sword which he gives away and will desperately miss when he fights the fire giant Surt during Ragnarok (he loses).

Heimdall: golden-toothed god of protection, watchman of the gods, guards the Bifrost rainbow bridge, son of nine mothers, owns the horn of Gjall, he and Loki will kill each other during Ragnarok

Hel: the just goddess of the underworld and the dead, daughter of Loki and the giantess Angrboda, sister of Fenrir and Jormungand, her upper half is that of a woman, her lower half is that of a dead, blueish corpse

Tyr: brave, one-handed war god, scarified his right hand so the wolf Fenrir could be bound, either son of the giant Hymir or of Odin, during Ragnarok, he slays the hellhound Garm and is killed by him

Skadi: goddess of winter and the hunt, originally a giantess, she joined the gods when she married Njord as a form of compensation for her father Thiazi being slain by the gods, put the snake over bound Loki, whose (the snake’s) venom constantly drips on his face (Skadi is quite cool and tough)

Balder: gentle, wise, beloved god, son of Odin and Frigg, Loki tricked Balder’s blind brother Hod into killing him with a mistletoe (the only thing that could hurt him), husband of Nanna (who died from shock over his death),he and his wife will return from Hel after Ragnarok

Idun: goddess of youth, provides the gods with the golden apples that grant their immortality, married to Bragi

Bragi: god of poetry and eloquence, husband of Idun, son of Odin, greets the fallen warriors at Valhalla

Njord: god of the sea, wind and fertility, father of Freya and Freyr, a Vanir, married Skadi, but they separated cause she was a mountain woman and he a man of the sea, she chose him from among the gods for his apparently very handsome feet  Prints and other nice stuff available here:  www.redbubble.com/de/people/wo…

Norse Mythology

ig: @sunshine.writing

As with every culture, there are many different interpretations and I tried my best to use the most popular ones. There are also many different versions and spellings for the names of the gods and goddesses, but I used the anglicized and most popular spellings. 

Aesir and Vanir

The Norse gods are divided into two families, the Aesir family, and the Vanir family. The Aesir family is the larger of the two and is mostly connected with war and government and includes the gods Odin, Thor, Loki, Baldr, Hodr, Heimdall, and Tyr. The Vanir family includes the fertility gods and goddesses such as Njord, Feyr, and Freyja. Both families reside in Asgard but don’t see eye-to-eye as shown through the Aesir-Vanir war. 

Besides the Aesir and Vanir, there are also female deities known as Disir, Alfar (elves), Jotnar (giants), and Dvergar (dwarves).

Aesir Gods and Goddesses

Odin - Odin was the King of the Aesir clan and known as “the father of all gods.” He’s depicted as a one-eyed, bearded old man wearing a hat and a cloak. He was said to have slain the first being known as Ymir before carving up his body to help create the Earth. He was one of the most powerful and revered of the gods and associated with wisdom, knowledge, healing, death, and war. He also ruled over Valhalla. 

Thor - Son of Odin, he was regarded as the strongest of all the Norse deities because he was tasked with safeguarding Asgard. He was the most popular of all the gods and worshipped by most Vikings. He was the god of thunder and lightning and wielded the Mjolnir. He rode a chariot drawn by two massive goats called Tanngnjostr and Tanngrisnir.

Loki - Loki was considered a “blood brother” of Odin. He was known as the trickster god and was equipped with the ability to shapeshift into different forms. He was the chief engineer behind the death of Balder.

Frigg - Frigg was the wife of Odin and the queen of the Aesir gods. She was the only one allowed to sit next to her husband and always stuck by her partner even though he had many extramarital affairs.  She was worshipped as the goddess of the sky and associated with wisdom, marriage, family, and fertility. She was blessed with the power of divination but never revealed her visions to anyone. 

Baldur - Son of Odin and half-brother to Thor, Baldur was the god of light and purity. He was described as fair, kind, and handsome, whose beauty was unparalleled. He was the epitome of all things wise and good and often praised for his mercifulness. Also thought to be immortal, he had been prophesied to die and was slain by an arrow made out of mistletoe, his death orchestrated by Loki. 

Heimdall - Heimdall is the son of Odin and no less than nine mothers, and is the watchman of the god. He dwelt at the entry to Asgard where he guarded Bifrost. 

Tyr - Tyr is the god of War and the Lawgiver of the gods. The bravest of the gods, he makes the binding of Fenrir possible by sacrificing his right hand. He’s the son of Odin and the son of the giant Hymir.

Fjorgynn and Fjorgyn - Fjorgyn, also known as Jord, is a giantess and the mother of Thor through an affair with Odin. Her masculine form Fjorgynn is the father of the goddess Frigg, the wife of Odin. 

Sol and Mani - Sol and Mani were the beings who drove the sun and the moon in their courses through the sun. They were sister and brother, and both were fair and beautiful. Sol had to travel at great speed, pursued by a wolf named Skoll who would eventually devour her. Mani kidnapped two humans named Bil (waning) and Hjuki (waxing), children of Vidfinn, and forced them to travel with him. Like his sister, he was also being chased by a hound named Hati Hrodvitnisson. 

Ullr - Ullr is the god of sports, particularly archery and skiing. He’s the son of Sif and Egill and step-son to Thor. 

Hoenir - Hoenir is a warrior god and is the travel companion of Odin and Loki. He was also part of the creation of Ask and Embla. He goes with Mimir to the Vanir as a hostage in order to seal a truce to the Aesir-Vanir War. He’s the god of indecision, avoidance, and mystery. 

Vidar - Son of Odin and Gridr, he was known as Vidar the silent, the possessor of the iron shoe, the enemy and slayer of Fenrir, the avenger, and he who inhabits the homestead of his father. He’s a warrior god and an excellent fighter. 

Hodr - Hodr is the blind god of winter and warriors. Oftentimes he’s depicted with a bow and arrows, or the spear that Loki used to trick him. He was the son of Frigg and Odin and twin brother of Baldr. Sometimes he’s thought to be a god of darkness.

Vali - Son of Odin and the giantess Rindr, Vali was born for the sole purpose of avenging Baldr. He kills Hodr and binds Loki with the entrails of his son Narfi. He’s the god of vengeance.

Vanir Gods and Goddesses

Freya - Freya was the goddess of fate, love, beauty, gold, war, and fertility. She ruled over the meadow of Folkvangr and owned a torc or necklace known as the Brisingamen as well as a cloak made of falcon feathers. She rode a chariot drawn by two cats and was accompanied by a board called Hildisvini most of the time. She practiced Seidr, which is a form of magic that allowed her the ability to control and manipulate the desires and prosperity of others. 

Freyr - Freyr is associated with sacral kingship, virility, peace, prosperity, sunshine and fair weather, and good harvest. He’s the son of Njord and the god of fertility, rain, and sunshine. His twin sister is Freyja.

Odr - Odr is the husband of Freyja

Norse Creatures

Dwarves - Also known as dark elves, they’re small creatures that originated as maggots from the corpse of Ymir. They live underground in Svartalfheim (literally means “home of the black elves”) and are said to have crafted the finest weapons and jewelry such as Mjollnir and Gungnir. In certain myths, they’re portrayed as turning to stone if exposed to sunlight. 

Draugar - The Draugar are the undead. Some myths describe them as creatures who drink blood, they’re more similar to zombies than vampires. They possess superhuman strength and can increase their size at will, but have a constant stench of decay and appear as a dead body. They often live in their graves to defend the treasure they were buried with but can also enter communities to torment those who wronged them in life. They’re said to be able to enter the dreams of the living to torment them, and would leave behind a gift so the victims knew the encounter was real. 

Elves - Elves are separated into two different types; Dokkalfar, or dark elves, and Ljosalfar, light elves. Dark elves are thought to be the same as dwarves and light elves are described as more beautiful than the sun. They’re generally described as having an ambivalent relationship with humans.

Fenrir - Fenrir was the son of Loki and the giantess Angroboda. He was raised by the gods of Asgard to stop him from wreaking havoc across the nine worlds but the gods ended up deciding to chain him up. It’s believed that when Fenrir breaks his chains to get his revenge, it will lead to Ragnarok, the end of the world. 

Fossegrimen - Also known as the grim, he’s a water spirit who plays the fiddle mimicking the sounds of the forest, wind, and water. He can be bribed to teach his skill with an offering that he deems sufficient. He’s also known to lure women and children to lakes and streams where they drown.

Huldra - Wardens of the forest and part of a group of Ra that protects various locations. Female Huldra are described as beautiful and seductive, with a long tail of a cow and their back covered in bark. They can disguise themselves as young women to walk in the world of men but their power of illusion is broken if someone sees their tail. They lure young, unmarried men into the forest and keep them as slaves, lovers, or sometimes they’ll suck the life out of them. 

Jormungandr - Also known as the Midgard Serpent, Jormungandr is another child of Loki and Angrboda. He is a snake or dragon that lives in the sea surrounding Midgard. He is described as an enemy of Thor and during Ragnarok, the two are fated to slay one another. 

Jotnar - Jotnar, meaning “devourers”, are giants with powers that rival the power of the gods. They’re the enemy of the gods and the Jotnar embody chaos. Many of the Asgardian gods are descended from Jotnar such as Odin and Thor. 

Kraken - Aquatic monsters that are believed to live off the shores of Norway and Greenland. They’re depicted as gigantic octopi or squids. They mostly ate fish but when it rose to the surface, it was believed to cause large whirlpools which would help it attack ships.

Valkyries - The female helping spirits of Odin, depicted as elegant maidens who ferry the slain to Valhalla. Their name means “choosers of the Slain”, which hints at their more sinister side, the fact that they also choose who lives and dies in battle. They would sometimes use malicious magic to ensure their preferences.

Sleipnir - Odin’s mighty eight-legged horse is the child of Loki and Svadilfari. It had eight legs so that it could have one leg in each of the Norse worlds. 

Mare - The Mare monster gave people bad dreams at night by sitting on them in their sleep. Often they were witches whose souls took the forms of animals, but normal people, particularly adolescents, were also thought to become Mare when their spirits wandered. It was believed that when the Mare touched a living thing, people, cattle, or trees, it would cause their hair to become entangled. 

Trolls - There are large ugly trolls that dwell in forests and mountains, and small gnome-like trolls that live underground in deep caves and caverns. They’re depicted as not very intelligent and malevolent but can show kindness in exchange for a favor.

Norns - The three principal Norns served as the caretakers of the tree of life, but their care only slowed the death of the tree. 

Ratatoskr - A squirrel that runs up and down the tree of life delivering the messages of the gods. He enjoys stirring trouble between the wise eagle that sits atop the tree and the hungry dragon that swells in its roots. 

The Nine Realms

Yggdrasil - Yggdrasil is the mighty tree whose trunk rises at the geographical center of the Norse spiritual cosmos. It’s believed that the nine worlds are all held in the branches and roots of the tree of Yggdrasil. It’s commonly said to be an ash tree.

Niflheim - The realm of fog and mist. It’s the darkest and coldest region of all the realms. It’s one of the first two realms and is placed in the northern region of Ginnngagap. Hvergelmir is located in Niflheim, which is said to be the source of the elven rivers. As Yggdrasil started to grow, it stretched one of its large roots far into Niflheim to draw water from Hvergelmir. 

Muspelheim - The land of fire. Muspelheim was created at the same time as Niflheim but was created far to the south. It’s a burning hot place filled with lava, flames, sparks, and soot. It’s the home of the fire giants, fire demons, and is ruled by Surtr.

Asgard - Home of the Gods. The most commonly known realm, Asgard is located in the middle of the world, high up in the sky. It’s the home of the gods and goddesses and is ruled by the chief of Aesir Odin. Inside the gates of Asgard is Valhalla, the place where half who die in battle will go for the afterlife and the other half go to Folkvangr.

Midgard - Home of the humans. “Middle earth” is located in the middle of the world below Asgard. Midgard and Asgard are connected by Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge. It’s surrounded by a large, impassable ocean that is occupied by the Midgard Serpent. The first two humans were Ash and Embla and were sent to Midgard after being created from tree logs by Odin and his brothers Vili and Ve.

Jotunheim - Home of the giants. Jotunheim consists mostly of rocks, wilderness, and dense forests, and lies in the snowy regions on the outermost shores of the ocean. There is no fertile land in Jotunheim. Jotunheim is separated from Asgard by the river living which never freezes over.

Vanaheim - Home of the Vanir. Nobody knows where exactly the land is located or how it looks. 

Alfheim - Home of the light elves. Alfheim is located right next to Asgard in heaven. The god Freyr is the ruler of Alfheim. 

Svartalfheim - Home of the dwarves. Svartalfheim means dark fields, and they live under the rocks, in caves, and underground. Hreidmar was the king of Svartalfheim until he was killed. 

Helheim - Home of the dishonorable dead. Hel is where the dishonorable dead, thieves, murderers, or those the gods and goddesses feel are not brave enough to go to Valhalla or Folkvangr. Helheim is ruled over by Hel and is a very grim and cold place. Any person who arrives at Helheim will never feel joy or happiness again.
