	Aurvandil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Germanic Aurvandil might therefore have been the mythical "Founder of the Vandals", just as Ingve with the Ynglings, Dan with the Danes, Angul with the Angles, Saxneat with the Saxons.
		Then came the wise woman who was called Gróa, wife of Aurvandill the Valiant: she sang her spells over Thor until the hone was loosened.
		Thor said that it would not be long ere Aurvandill came home: but Gróa was so rejoiced that she forgot her incantations, and the hone was not loosened, and stands yet in Thor's head.

		Aurvandil and his father had stockpiled hay before the cold had come, but the winter had lasted longer than most and their milk cows and sheep had grown perilously thin.

	Tales and Folklore
		Aurvandil is briefly mentioned in the Prose Edda, but not at all in the Poetic.

		Unfortunatly, exactly which stars these stories refer to is unknown, so after the tale is told, I will explain which stars I think are being referred to.
		A brave warrior named Aurvandil was going about his travels far to the north.
		Since Aurvandil's toe was frozen and this episode takes place in winter, I would guess the Norsemen were referring to a blue star that appears predominatly in the colder months and didn't appear in to be in another constellation.
