Njörðr ( Freyja and Freyr's father ) says that it is harmless for a woman to have a lover or " someone else " beside her husband, and that what is surprising is a " pervert god coming here who has borne children.

" Freyr's subjects loved him greatly, and he was " blessed by good seasons like his father.

" In stanza 43, the creation of the god Freyr's ship Skíðblaðnir is recounted, and Freyr is cited as the son of Njörðr.

The toasts begin with Odin's toasts, described as for victory and power for the king, followed by Njörðr and Freyr's toast, intended for good harvests and peace.

The god Njörðr asks Freyr's servant Skírnir to talk to Freyr, and in the first stanza of the poem, Skaði also tells Skírnir to ask Freyr why he is so upset.

It was offered as a gift by Freyr's servant Skírnir in the wooing of Gerðr, which is described in the poem Skírnismál.

The Æsir started to fear that they would not be able to bind Fenrir, and so Odin sent Freyr's messenger Skírnir down into the land of Svartálfaheimr to " some dwarfs " and had them make a fetter called Gleipnir.

In Norse mythology, Skírnir ( Old Norse " bright one ") is the god Freyr's messenger and vassal.

In the Poetic Edda poem Skírnismál, Skírnir is sent as a messenger to Jötunheimr to conduct Freyr's wooing of the fair Gerðr on condition of being given Freyr's sword as a reward.

In Skírnismál, the beautiful jötunn Gerðr first encounters the god Freyr's messenger Skírnir, and asks him if he is of the elves, of the Æsir, or of the " wise Vanir.

Later in the poem, Skírnir is successful in his threats against Gerðr ( to have Gerðr accept Freyr's affections ), and Gerðr offers Skírnir a crystal cup full of mead, noting that she never thought that she would love one of the Vanir.

Gerðr, the daughter of Gymir bids him enter the hall ; without further ado, Skírnir tries to woo Gerðr on Freyr's behalf, offering first gifts then threats ( in other versions Skírnir does not use threats but manages to successfully woo Gerðr ).

Freyr's page, Skírnir, first attempted to bribe Gerðr then subsequently had to threaten Gerðr with banishment and a life devoid of pleasure in order to convince her to lie with Freyr.

High relates that when Fenrir had grown so large that the gods began to grow concerned, the god Odin sent the god Freyr's messenger Skírnir down to Svartálfaheimr to " some dwarfs " who made the silky yet immensely strong fetter Gleipnir from six fantastical ingredients.

According to Skáldskaparmál, when Loki had Sif's hair, Freyr's ship Skidbladnir and Odin's spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi, he bet his own head with Brokkr that Eitri would not have been able to make items that matched the craftsmanship of those mentioned above.

When Loki had Sif's hair, Freyr's ship Skíðblaðnir and Odin's spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi, he bet his own head with Brokkr that his brother Eitri ( Sindri ) wouldn't have been able to make items to match the quality of those mentioned above.

According to Skáldskaparmál, Loki had Sif's hair, Freyr's ship Skíðblaðnir and Odin's spear Gungnir fashioned by the Sons of Ivaldi.

" Alaric Hall has equated the Vanir with the elves, and Joseph S. Hopkins and Haukur Þorgeirsson, building on suggestions by archaeologist Ole Crumlin-Pedersen and others, link the Vanir to ship burial customs among the North Germanic peoples, proposing an early Germanic model of a ship in a " field of the dead " that may be represented both by Freyja's afterlife field Fólkvangr and by the Old English Neorxnawang ( the mysterious first element of which may be linked to the name of Freyja's father, Njörðr ).

In all sources, Skaði is the daughter of the deceased Þjazi, and Skaði married the god Njörðr as part of the compensation provided by the gods for killing her father Þjazi.
