You can read all about Mimir and Odin and the gifts he won for humanity in my Novel Rune Magic. It’s available on Amazon worldwide, as paperback or Kindle, but it’s the Amazon UK link that I’ve just shown. And in this passage from my novel Rune Magic, Declan, the hero of the novel, tells about the birth of Mimir: Declan stared the challenge at his spell-bound audience, then continued to declaim the contents of the iridescently now flaring tablet.
‘The First World: Muspellheim is created
‘Eventually! To one side of the void, Ginnungagap, in the endless empty darkness,
There stirred a spark: The First Spark manifested: Elemental Fire
Spark was fanned to flame. Flame grew to inferno. Inferno turned to magma flare. And in the lava-heat and fire, the first world grew, The Fire World, first of Nine: Muspellheim.
‘Then forged from fire, Musspelheim’s great guardian arose: the Fire Giant:
Surt. Surt of the mighty flaming sword.
‘Would you know more?
And what?
‘The Second World: Niflheim is created
‘To the other side of Ginnungagap, a place of endless night and immaculate coldness: Niflheim was formed, Second of the worlds. Niflheim: realm of ice and fog.
And at its centre lay the roaring, seething tarn of Hvergelmir, from which twelve icy gelid rivers flowed.
‘Would you know more?
And what?
‘The emergence of the First Being: Mimir
‘Over endless aeons, the essences of two worlds leached. They met in freezing Ginnungagap.
‘Gelid waters flowed to the Abyss from Hvergelmir, Whose icy blasts created glaciers. Huge blocks of ice rolled downward with continual thunder
Into the impenetrable Chasm
‘Sparks of Muspelheim too, showered the Abyss
‘And from this slow union of opposites, of Fire and Ice, amid the ice blocks of the Chasm,
Arose The Primordial Being:
Mimir.
‘Mimir’s was the Dream Time,
Huge union of Fire and Ice, Mimir’s mind was mystic, submerged in dream. Not knowing past nor future. Giant consciousness, inexpressible, ocean-like. The eternal now.
‘And what sustained the Primordial Being in his timeless contemplation?
He drank the milk of Audhumla the Gigantic Cow, the Nourisher, who also formed from the melt. And Mimir drank Audhumla’s milk.
‘Young were the years when Father-Mother, Mimir, moved outward into Time.
Parthenogenous, he begat two children of himself: a boy giant and a girl giant.
Parents of the Frost Giants’ race.
‘Would you know more?
And what?
