Happy Thorsday - Fjorgyn, Earth Goddess - V2

Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic) mythological characters. This week it’s a second version of 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.
