Laufey, Mother of Loki

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how to accent the image without giving it any more color, lol.

I am sorta winging it regarding these goddesses. Learning stuff along the way.

Interesting question! From what I gather, the "giant" thing is a bit of an ancient mistranslation. I remember reading a text that states Jotuun/Jotnar means something closer to eat/consume in the original language but when the Norse myth was being translated to Latin they mixed it up with the concept of titan in Greek myth.

I think Jotnar represent chaos or forces of nature. Some Jotnar are described as ugly while others beautiful. Their sizes seem to be varied in the myth, too. For example: Ymir, the first giant is so big that when he is slain the surviving jotnar (presumed to be a lot smaller than him) sails away in a flood of his blood and pieces of his body are used to create the world. Yeah, Norse myth is pretty metal.

Was she? I know that's true in the God of War series, right? I'm not too sure about the specifics of the more tertiary Norse mythos.

Also this:

"Nál means "needle"; according to Sörla þáttr. Laufey also was called this because she was "both slender and weak.""
