Myths about Ginnungagap

In the primordial void of Ginnungagap, the cosmic cow Auðhumla emerged from the melting rime-frost. While her milk nourished the giant Ymir, she herself found sustenance by licking salty ice blocks. Over three days of persistent licking, she revealed the first god, Búri, who would become the grandfather of Odin and the progenitor of the Æsir.
