One in a series of presentations for the Hurstwic Heathen Study Group, an organization that meets monthly for informal presentations and discussions on topics of interest to heathens and to anyone with a passion for Norse-related topics.
In this presentation, Ethan C discusses dwarfs in northern folklore. Snorri Sturluson tells us in Gylfaginning that the dwarfs began as maggots in the rotting flesh of the giant Ymir, and that the gods endowed these beings with reason. Yet other sources paint a different picture. Who were these beings, and where do they fit into the nine worlds of northern mythology?
