Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Durathor - Branch Eater of Yggdrasill 

Happy Thorsday! - Here’s another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, Celtic) mythological characters. This week it’s Durathror / Duraþrór . One of the four Red Stags / Harts that endlessly walk and graze on the branches of Yggdrasill. 

The male deer are, Duraþrór, Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr. They each look upward to chew on the branches or leaves and small shoots of the World Tree. Considered to be able to nimbly walk among the branches of the tree at it’s highest points.

Their names have been translated as… (*The below notes are just some thoughts on their possible purpose.)   Dáinn - dead, dead one, swooning / fainting, the drowsy.  *Possibly indicating it as the clearer of the dead growth. 

Dvalinn / Dvalar - sleep, one who dallies, dawdler, quiet sleeper, to delay, to slow down.  *Possibly indicating it as the cause of the slowing down the trees growth.  Duneyrr - murmur, quiet noise, quiet thundering, noisy maker of din.  *Possibly indicating the rustling of leaves as they eat and walk the branches. Duraþrór / Durathror - delay, drowsy, door breaking, snoring, or thriving slumber.  *Possibly indicating it as causing the noise of breaking branches.

The symbolism may be related to the winds that tear down branches and leaves, much like the dwarves of the four winds. This lines up as two of the four names are also Dwarf names.

There’s also been some discussion that there was originally only one hart, Eikþyrnir, mentioned earlier in Grímnismál, and that these four are later creations.

Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Durabor - The Slumbering Boar

Happy Thorsday! - Here’s another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, Celtic) mythological characters. This week it’s Durabor / Duraborr / Durathor. A notable Boar likely interpreted wrongly from the Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda.

A magical sleeping boar that likely was a misunderstanding of the translation of the name of one of the deer Duraþrór / Durathror that eat the branches of the world tree. Whose name translates literally as ‘sleeping boar’. Though likely was an indication of it’s snoring, or the sound of breaking breaking branches as it walks among them..

Even though Durathor the slumbering boar was likely initially a misunderstanding, I wanted to include it for completions sake, and because as with most ideas, once created it’s hard to ignore. Much like the sounds of a large porcine snore.

Happy ThorsDay - Austri 

Well here we are another Thor’s Day and another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic) mythological characters.  This week it’s Austri. Dwarf ( Dverg / Dvergr / Dwarven).Austri “The East”, was the Eastern Pillar. After Ymir was killed, the the Dwarfs emerged, made of his blood mixed with his bones the mountains. Four of these first Dwarfs were Nordri (North), Sudri (South, Austri (East), and Vestri (West). Each would be tasked with holding up the heavenly dome of Aurgelmir’s Skull as the sky at it’s four corners, or cardinal points.  As Odin Vili and Ve threw sparks from fiery Muspel into it to form the stars in the night.  

Sometimes associated also with the four winds, as something they push out, and can control.  Associated as either aspects of themselves, or something they give birth to. I imagined that he’s grown large and strong holding up the sky, and his billowing lungs could push the winds of the east, sending them on their way, as a means for them to be out in the worlds they sustain but can never go into themselves.

Also sometime associated with the Four Stags that eat the branches of Ygdrasil, the World Tree. As they’re associated with the four winds as well, and their names are dwarven names. Dainn, Dvalinn, Durathor, and Duneyrr.  The association is either as an aspect of the four pillars, or an aspect of the wind that comes from them.
