• The Story of the God Borr Aug 10, 2025

  

  In the very beginning, when ice and fire first met across the great void, when the giant Ymir walked alone in the endless twilight, there came forth from the marriage of elements a being who would father gods. His name was Borr, and though the skalds speak less of him than of his mighty sons, without him there would be no Asgard, no Midgard, no stories at all.

  Borr was born from Buri, the first god, who had been licked from the primordial ice by Audhumla, the great cow. Where Buri was the spark of divine consciousness in a world of giants and chaos, Borr became its foundation—solid, reliable, strong enough to support the weight of all the gods who would come after.
