Gestrinn svarar: "Ǫgvaldr var konungr ok hermaðr mikill. Hann blótaði mest kú eina, ok hafði hana með sér hvar sem hann fór, á sjá eðr landi. Þótt honum heilsamligt at drekka jafnan mjǫlk hennar. Ok er sá orðskviðr þaðan er margir hafa, at allt skal fara saman karl ok kýr."

ref

Midgårdsormen in Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB)

Ty det var ingen sådan katt, som det syntes dig: det var egenteligen Midgårdsormen, som ligger omkring all land: knappt hade han längd, att stjert och hufvud räckte till jorden, och du lyftade den så högt upp, att det var blott kort till himlen.

1819, Snorre Sturlasson, translated by Anders Jacob Cnattingius, Snorre Sturlesons Edda. Samt Skalda, page 62:

For it was not such a cat as it seemed to you: it was actually the Midgard Serpent, which lies around all the land: he was long enough that his tail and head barely fit the earth, and you lifted him up so high that he was only short to the sky.

Auðhumbla

Generally accepted to derive from auðr (“riches”) + *humala (“hornless”).
The compound presents some level of semantic ambiguity. A parallel occurs in Scottish English humble-cow (“hornless cow”), and Northern Europeans have bred hornless cows since prehistoric times. As highlighted above, auð- may mean "rich" and in turn "rich hornless cow" remains generally accepted among scholars as a gloss of the Old Icelandic animal name. However, auðr can also mean "fate" and "desolate; desert", and so Auðhum(b)la may also have been understood as the "destroyer of the desert". This semantic ambiguity may have been intentional.


Logi

From Proto-Germanic *lugô (“flame”). Related to Middle High German lohe, more distantly to Latin lucere (“to shine, to light”), Ancient Greek λευκός (leukós, “white”). All ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European *lewk-.

From Old High German Wōdan, from Proto-Germanic *Wōdanaz. A well-known attestation is from between 639 and 641, and relates an event most probably from 610 at Tuggen by Lake Zürich in today's Switzerland, although it has often been understood to have happened not far away at Bregenz by Lake Constance in today's western Austria, from an unscrupulous reading of the text by Jonas of Bobbio.

Deinde perveniunt ad locum, quem peragrans vir Dei non suis placere animis ait, sed tamen ob fidem in eis serendam inibi paulisper moraturum se spopondit. Sunt etenim inibi vicinae nationes Suevorum. Quo cum moraretur, et inter habitatores loci illius progrederetur, reperit eos sacrificium profanum litare velle, vasque magnum, quod vulgo cupam vocant, quod viginti et sex modios amplius minusve capiebat, cervisia plenum in medio habebant positum. Ad quod vir Dei accessit, et sciscitatur quid de illo fieri vellent. Illi aiunt Deo suo Vodano, quem Mercurium vocant alii, se velle litare. Ille pestiferum opus audiens, vas eminus sufflat, miroque modo vas cum fragore dissolvitur, et in frusta dividitur, visque rapida cum fragore cervisiae prorumpit: manifesteque datur intelligi diabolum in eo vase fuisse occultatum, qui per profanum litatorem caperet animas sacrificantium. Videntes barbari obstupefacti aiunt magnum virum Dei habere anhelitum, qui sic possit dissolvere vas ligaminibus munitum: castigatosque dictis evangelicis, ut ab his segregarentur sacrificiis, domibus redire imperat. Multi ergo eorum tunc per beati viri suasum ad doctrinam et ad Christi fidem conversi, baptismum consecuti sunt; aliosque etiam, quos jam lavacro ablutos error detinebat profanus, ad cultum evangelicae doctrinae monitis suis ut bonus pastor Ecclesiae seminibus reducebat sparsis.

Vol. II. No. 7

At length they arrived at the place designated, which did not wholly please Columban; but he decided to remain, in order to spread the faith among the people, who were Swabians. Once as he was going through this country, he discovered that the natives were going to make a heathen offering. They had a large cask that they called a cupa, and that held about twenty-six measures, filled with beer and set in their midst. On Columban’s asking what they intended to do with it, they answered that they were making an offering to their God Wodan (whom others call Mercury). When he heard of this abomination, he breathed on the cask, and lo! it broke with a crash and fell in pieces so that all the beer ran out. Then it was clear that the devil had been concealed in the cask, and that through the earthly drink he had proposed to ensnare the souls of the participants. As the heathens saw that, they were amazed and said Columban had a strong breath, to split a wellbound cask in that manner. But he reproved them in the words of the Gospel, and commanded them to cease from such offerings and to go home. Many were converted then, by the preaching of the holy man, and turning to the learning and faith of Christ, were baptized by him. Others, who were already baptized but still lived in the heathenish unbelief, like a good shepherd, he again led by his words to the faith and into the bosom of the church.

𐌰𐌽𐍃𐌰𐌿 (dative singular)
𐌰𐌽𐍃𐌿𐌼 (dative plural)

→ Latin: Ansis (from the plural)

From Proto-Germanic *ansuz. Cognate with Old Norse áss. The Latinized plural ansis found in Jordanes' Getica is the basis for this reconstruction; Jordanes glosses the word as semideōs (“demigods”).
While based on its cognates a Gothic u-stem noun is expected to underlie the mention in Jordanes' Latin text, Köbler relates the Latin form to a Gothic plural form *anseis, which looks like an i-stem plural and thus would deviate from the expected u-stem pattern. He therefore not only mentions the possible u-stem lemma *ansus, but additionally suggests an i-stem *ans as possibly being the underlying Gothic lemma. Lehmann also points out the disconnect between the apparent i-stem plural attestation and the u-stem cognates. (But compare also the mixed declension of e.g. 𐌰𐌲𐌲𐌹𐌻𐌿𐍃 (aggilus).)

Vanatru

From Old Norse vanir (“Vanir”) + trú (“faith”), after the pattern of Ásatrú.

Where Asatru is derived from an Old Norse phrase meaning "True to the Gods [Æsir]," Vanatru is typically focused on the other family of deities listed in Norse mythology, the Vanir.

2010, Nicanthiel Hrafnhild, Sea Sky Soil: An Introduction to Waincraft, unnumbered page:

While this tradition is no worse than any others—and certainly it has been observed that super-traditional mystery-religion Wiccan practice has a strong relationship to Vanatru, or Frey-and-Freya worship—it wasn't the right thing for me.

2013, Raven Kaldera, The Pathwalker's Guide to the Nine Worlds, unnumbered page:

Vanatru and Rokkatru are newer traditions that branched off from Asatru.

2019, Ryan Smith, The Way of Fire and Ice: The Living Tradition of Norse Paganism, page 9:

A form of Norse neopaganism or Asatru that focuses on veneration of the Vanir deities.


Wiccatru

'Northern' can refer to any ragbag of Wiccatru slung together to sell a book to suckers.

2001 September 27, Dirk Bruere, “Re: What is Asatru?”, in alt.religion.asatru (Usenet):

Interesting? To whom? Asatruar have been laughing at this childish gibberish for almost a decade now, although Wiccans seem to find it very profound. So why are you banging the tin drum for Wiccatru, anyway?

2003 January 11, Rorik, “Re: Wicca-Asatru”, in alt.religion.asatru (Usenet):

Some heathens denigrate such practices as “Wiccatru.”

2021, Diana L. Paxson, Essential Asatru: Walking the Path of Norse Paganism, unnumbered page:

(slang, usually derogatory) A syncretic form of Asatru that incorporates Wiccan beliefs, practices, or elements.


Rokkatru

From Old Norse røkkr (“twilight”) + trú (“faith”), referencing Ragnarok, the apocalyptic battle foretold in Norse mythology, itself from regin (“gods”) + rǫk (“fate, judgment”).

Rokkatru is a form of heathenry that many shy away from. The term Rokk as some people say, means dark or shadow. Rokkatru is a practice of heathenry that deals with worshiping the Jotunar, or the Giants.

2019, Theorodic Dukka, A Heathen's Guide Experiences & Advice On Magic & Spiritworking, pages 7–8:

Rokkatru is a controversial addendum to the family; in response to the shunning of Loki and his family in American heathenry, some who honor Loki, Angrboða, Fenrir, et al. responded by framing a subset of heathenry that focuses on the Jotuns and forces of chaos (hence the name Rokkatru, referencing faith in the bringers of Ragnarok).

2022, Lea Svendsen, Loki and Sigyn: Lessons on Chaos, Laughter & Loyalty from the Norse Gods, page 89:

A form of Norse neopaganism or Asatru that focuses on veneration of the Jotun and chaotic deities such as Loki.


Nazitru

1997 November 15, Al Billings, “Nazitru, Race and "Folkish" Asatru”, in alt.religion.asatru (Usenet):

The only form of Asatru I am totally agianst is Nazitru and the extreme racialists, […]

2000 March 9, Swain Wodening, “Re: Racialist and Universialist Bigotry”, in alt.religion.asatru (Usenet):

Ain't fair to judge a religion based on *cherrypicked* followers. Asatru looks like crap if you only look at the skinhead Nazitru wannabes.

2007 June 7, Scott Lowther, “Re: Being known by long term results ...”, in alt.religion.asatru (Usenet):

(slang, derogatory, often used attributively) Any form of Asatru which incorporates or centers white supremacist ideology.

Hœnir

The Æsir send in exchange Hœnir, an obscure figure in Old Norse mythology, and perhaps understandably so, since the Vanir soon discover that Hœnir, though extremely good-looking, is like a ventriloquist's dummy.

2008, Heather O'Donoghue, From Asgard to Valhalla, Bloomsbury Publishing, unnumbered page:

2014, Dagulf Loptson, Playing With Fire, Lulu, EPUB Edition, unnumbered page,
Unfortunately, little information remains about the Æsir god Hœnir. In Gylfaginning, Snorri tells us that Hœnir was given as a hostage to the Vanir in exchange for Njörðr in a pledge of truce.

Rather curiously, it is Hœnir who is said to have imbued the lifeless wood with óðr ('frenzy', 'passion'), rather than Odin, who derives his own name from the quality.

2003, William P. Reaves (translator), Viktor Rydberg, Our Fathers' Godsaga: Retold for the Young, [1887, Viktor Rydberg, Fädernas Gudasaga berättad för Ungdomen], iUniverse, page 203,
In the poem Fjölsvinnsmál, which portrays Svipdag's arrival in Asgard, Svipdag asks the guardian by the gate under what condition it would be possible to persuade the subterranean dis Sinmara (the "sinew maimer" Mimir-Nidhad's queen) to surrender the sword she keeps. The guardian replies that Sinmara is gripped by a severe sorrow for which Vidofnir has compassion; she will only be happy again, if a luminous sickle, lying among Vidolfnir′s völnur, is given to her.

18 Vidofnir: in v. 24 it is revealed that Vidofnir is a cockerel roosting in the tree of Mimi.
[…]
24 Sinmara: probably a giantess, cf. 'pale giantess' in v. 29. How Vidofnir oppresses her is not clear.

Light Alfs

The former were, according to the ideas of those times, of a good and elevated nature, and of a friendly disposition towards men, whence they also received the name of White or Light Alfs or Spirits.

In his Edda Snorri tells us that the Light Alfs are bright and shining, very fair to look upon, which fits well with the first reading of the word's etymology.

2010, Heilan Yvette Grimes, The Norse Myths, Hollow Earth Publishing, page 116:

To torture him into talking, the king strung Grimnir between two fires for eight nights.
King Geirrod had a ten-year-old son named after his brother, Agnar. Agnar gave Grimnir a whole horn to drink, saying it was wrong for his father to torture an innocent man.
