"Völsungar"= Descendants of the völ. The völ was the sacred staff of spiritual authority carried by the völur (witches, priestesses), and also symbolised the potency and generating power of the world tree. The Volsungar were descendants of the Vanir god Freyr and the giantess Gerd. The last Volsung, Sigurd the Dragonslayer (in reality a serpent-slayer) is related to the Aesir on his mother´s side: His mother Hjördis ("Goddess of Herds") is the sister of Gripir, one of Odin´s many names.
This story is a summarised version of the heroic poems of the Elder Edda:
The poems of Helgi Hundingsbani
The poem of Helgi Hjörvardsson
The Speech of Regin (Reginsmál)
The Prophecy of Gripir (Gripisspá)
The Speech of Fafnir (Fafnismál)
The Speech of Sigrdrifa (Sigrdrifumál)
Backup from the Volsunga saga and from Snorri´s Skaldskaparmál (Prose Edda), but wherever I have encountered discrepancies between the versions, I have applied the Poetic Edda version, as it is the oldest we have and the most archaic and thoroughly pagan.
A story about clan wars and spiritual growth and the quest for the sleeping valkyria.
First part of a trilogy that together will cover all the heroic poems of the Edda.

Bright shining arms of Gerd, would that be the Milky Way? Or the ancient memory of the Milky way in Southern Hemisphere? Or Aurora Borealis? Or just moonlight? It could also be realization..."luminous emptiness".

@mogrhod Difficult to say for sure, but her bright arms "illuminate land and sea" with their "rays". Could very well be associated with the sun, which was feminine. The sun tends to "hide in the underworld"...

@basic204 "Svarterabben" by Kari Tauring, it is a Norwegian folk tune. You can look her up by searching on her name. :)
