Тихая ночь. Сергей Данчев, 2020

Velkominn, blíði vegfarandi, til Jǫtunn-Halla háva, þar sem sálir várar reika, en aldregi týnask.

Velkommen, blid vegfarende, til den høye Jotnerhallen, der hvor våre sjeler vandrer, men går aldri seg vill.

A must-read for all Norse mythology fans! :D

Not so long ago, I was telling you I could not find anymore the thesis I had read a few months ago about the Norse goddesses, and that contested Riccardo Ginevra's paper about Sigyn's name, but I did not remember its title... Well I found it on Academia.edu, and EVEN BETTER, I found the academic who wrote it, the amazing and very knowledgeable Ellis B Wylie , aka @loptrcoptr.

Her Master thesis is truly interesting, and give us more information on the Norse goddesses, allowing us to get to know them a little better :3
