"Muspellsheimr"	Norse	The abode of Muspel. This interesting word was not confined to the Norse mythology, but appears twice in the old Saxon poem Heliand. In these instances muspel stands for the day of judgment, the last day, and answers to Ragnarok of the Norse mythology. Norse
"Ymir"	Norse	A primal giant, also called Aurgelmir; he was androgynous and had six heads. He was created as the first living being together with Audhumla when the fire of Muspellsheimr met the water of Niflheimr. Ymir is the ancestor of the Thursir, the Hrymthussir, and of the Aesir. Slain by his grandson Odin, his body was set adrift in the emptiness, and from the parts of his body the nine worlds were created. His blood is the water of the worlds, his hair are the trees, his skull is the sky, the brain the clouds, his flesh is Midgard and his eyebrows are a fence which protects Midgard. Norse
