The Norse goddess Eir (‘help’ or ‘mercy’) was linked with medical skill and is described as a very good physician. Some sources for Norse mythology suggest that she was a Valkyrie rather than a goddess. Greetings all!

Old Norse: Veiztu um ϸá sǫk sverði of rækak, var ǫlsmið[r] allra tíma; hroða vágs brœðr ef vega mættak; fœra ek andvígr Ægis mani. [6] Chapter 33 of Skáldskaparmál discusses why skalds may refer to gold as "Ægir's fire". The section traces the kenning to a narrative surrounding Ægir, in which the jötunn employs "glowing gold" in the center of his hall to light it "like fire" (which the narrator compares to flaming swords in Valhalla). The section explains that "Ran is the name of Ægir's wife, and the names of their nine daughters are as was written above ... Then the Æsir discovered that Ran had a net in which she caught everyone that went to sea ... so this is the story of the origin of gold being called fire or light or brightness of Ægir, Ran or Ægir's daughters, and from such kennings the practice has now developed of calling gold fire of the sea and of all terms for it, since Ægir and Ran's names are also terms for the sea, and hence gold is now called fire of lakes or rivers and of all river-names."

Skadi is a complex character in Norse mythology. As a giantess, Skadi is associated with winter, hunting, and skiing [8], all of which reflect her origins as a creature of the harsh and unforgiving wilderness. Her association with winter is particularly significant, as it symbolizes the long, dark months of the Scandinavian winter and the challenges it poses to those who live in the region. I do not find images of nude adults, adults engaged in sexual acts, or other sexual material to be offensive or objectionable. It is in this same story from Norse mythology that Loki procures the spear Gungnir and the ring Draupnir for Odin, the ship Skidbladnir and the golden boar Gullinbursti for Freyr, and the mighty hammer Mjolnir for Thor. As the daughter of a giant, Skadi is both an outsider and an ally of the gods. Her marriage to Njord highlights the tension between her nature as a mountain-dwelling goddess and her attempt to integrate into the more refined and cultured world of the gods. Skadi’s story also highlights the importance of humor and play in Norse mythology, as well as the ways in which the gods sought to avoid conflict by negotiating with their enemies [2]. Skadi choosing her husband by Louis Huard Skadi’s Appearance and Personality Bjarni Einarsson translation: You know, if I took revenge with the sword for that offence, Ægir would be dead; if I could kill them, I would fight Ægir and Rán. [7]The Old Norse common noun rán means 'plundering' or 'theft, robbery'. [1] In turn, scholars view the theonym Rán as meaning, for example, 'theft, robbery'. [2] On the etymology of the theonym, scholar Rudolf Simek says, "although the meaning of the name has not been fully clarified, Rán was probably understood as being 'robber' ... and has nothing to do with [Old Norse] ráða 'rule'. [2] Devoted to her husband, Sigyn chooses to stay by his side throughout, protecting him from the poison by catching it in a bowl. However, when she must leave to empty the bowl, Loki must suffer.
