• The Story of the God Aegir Aug 9, 2025

  

  Beneath the heave and hush of the sea, where sunlight falls in coins and the currents hum like harp strings, stands a hall whose pillars are whale-bone and whose roof is kelp stitched with pearls. This is the hall of Aegir, the sea’s old king and master of ale, whose beard is the foam of breakers and whose laugh rolls like a friendly wave along a stony shore.

  The skalds tell that Aegir and his wife, Rán of the net, have hosted feasts that even the Aesir praise. On a day when the winds were gentle and the longships idled like gulls, the gods came to Aegir’s threshold to share bread and stories.
