Ullr Quotes

Ullr, the Norse god of snow, was a favorite of local ski bums.

Het is Snorri maar, met de NachtUllr.' Septimus begreep er niets van, maar als Jenna niet bang was van een grommende panter, zou hij zich er ook niets van aantrekken.

Thor, Odin’s son, is the thunderer. He is straightforward where his father Odin is cunning, good-natured where his father is devious. Huge he is, and red-bearded, and strong, by far the strongest of all the gods. His might is increased by his belt of strength, Megingjord: when he wears it, his strength is doubled. Thor’s weapon is Mjollnir, a remarkable hammer, forged for him by dwarfs. Its story you will learn. Trolls and frost giants and mountain giants all tremble when they see Mjollnir, for it has killed so many of their brothers and friends. Thor wears iron gloves, which help him to grip the hammer’s shaft. Thor’s mother was Jord, the earth goddess. Thor’s sons are Modi, the angry, and Magni, the strong. Thor’s daughter is Thrud, the powerful. His wife is Sif, of the golden hair. She had a son, Ullr, before she married Thor, and Thor is Ullr’s stepfather. Ullr is a god who hunts with bow and with arrows, and he is the god with skis.

Vanatru As Ásatrú is “true to the Æsir”, Vanatru is “true to the Vanir.” Vanatru takes spiritual practices inspired by the Vanir. Vanatru focuses on the Vanir-centric aspects of heathenry, including divination, being attuned to nature, folk magic, and witchcraft. Gods and goddesses venerated in Vanatru include Njord, Freya, Frey, Nerthus, Ullr, Frodi, and so forth. Since the Æsir are considered gods of order, war, civilization, and justice, and the Vanir are considered the gods of nature, those who are drawn to Vanatru tend to be more earth-centric. This is the key difference between the two practices. In Vanatru, importance is given to the individualistic nature of worship, where each god and goddess is worshipped or venerated in a way that’s unique to them.
