About Aurgelmir

"In Norse mythology, Ymir, Aurgelmir, Brimir, or Bláinn is the ancestor of all jötnar [giants]. Ymir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional material, in the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, and in the poetry of skalds. Taken together, several stanzas from four poems collected in the Poetic Edda refer to Ymir as a primeval being who was born from venom that dripped from the icy rivers Élivágar and lived in the grassless void of Ginnungagap. Ymir birthed a male and female from the pits of his arms, and his legs together begat a six-headed being. The gods Odin, Vili and Vé fashioned the Earth (elsewhere personified as a goddess; Jörð) from his flesh, from his blood the ocean, from his bones the hills, from his hair the trees, from his brains the clouds, from his skull the heavens, and from his eyebrows the middle realm in which mankind lives, Midgard. In addition, one stanza relates that the dwarfs were given life by the gods from Ymir's flesh and blood (or the Earth and sea)."

Om Aurgelmir (Norsk)

Yme, urjotnen, Stamfaren til alle jotnene

Han ble til i Ginnungagap (det vidåpne gap) og var far til Trudgjelme, en sønn som druknet i blodet hans og Ama ?

"Yme (Ymir) var urjotunen i den norrøne gudelæra. Frå han stamma alle jotnane, og av kroppen hans laga æsene Odin, Ve og Vilje jorda etter at dei drap han. I den yngre Edda kallar Snorre han Aurgjelme. Andre namn på han er Ymer, Ym og Blåin.

Jotunen blei til i Ginnungagap då eld frå Muspelheim og is frå Niflheim møttest. Han levde på mjølk frå Audhumbla. Jotnane blei til frå sveitten frå armholene og skrittet hans.

Odin og brørne hans drap Yme for å stoppa straumen av jotnar; dei fleste av desse drukna då òg i blodet hans. Sjølve kjempekroppen blei til jorda, blodet blei til sjøar og hav, beina til fjell, og tennene og beinbitar til sand og steinar, håret hans til skogar og åmer frå kjøtet hans blei dvergar. Skallen til Yme blei sett over Ginnungagap og blei til himmelen, halden oppe av dei fire dvergane Austre, Vestre, Søndre og Nordre. Hjernen hans kasta Odin til vinden der han blei til skyer."
