	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		This expression was misunderstood by the author of Gylfaginning himself, and the misunderstanding has continued to develop into the theory that Bergelmir was changed into a sort of Noah, who with his household saved himself in an ark when Bur's sons drowned the primeval giants in the blood of their progenitor.
		Thus Bergelmir had secured a boat to sail in; and although more reliable editions of the Younger Edda have been published since from which the boat disappeared, still the mythologists have not had the heart to take the boat away from Bergelmir.
		We may be sure that the myth would not have laid Bergelmir on "a mill" if the intention was not that he was to be ground.

	The Rökkr: Grandmother Nal
		Under the names of Nal and Bergelmir, Laufey and Farbauti appear as the primordial couple in the Norse version of the universal flood myth.
		Bergelmir's act of being laid on Nal the mill seems to suggests the procreative process that load to the creation of the new Jotun race.
		There is much evidence that suggests that Angrboda and Ran are really the same goddess (though they are both fully individuated), for example both are associated with the violent and stormy side of the sea, and both are married to Eggthir (another son of Nal).

	Northvegr - The Culture of the Teutons
		Ymir's death is an ancient sacrificial myth that reads like the programme of a creation play; the wording of the legend still bears the impress of its dramatic setting: the gods carried Ymir to Ginnungagap and placed him in the middle of the vast abyss.
		One single scene appertaining to this drama is still left standing among the débris of mythology, viz, the myth of Bergelmir, which alludes to an incident in the birth of the waters; but unfortunately it is worded in too concise and obscure a form for us to be able to complete the picture.
		35 the giant is introduced saying: “the first thing I remember is Bergelmir being born and placed on a lúðr”; this verse evidently reproduces a ritual act of dramatic import, but unfortunately the explanation hinges upon a word of unknown significance.

		The previous root races can also be associated with Bergelmir, who survived the flooding of the world by Ymir's blood, in a ship.
		As the Gods slaughtered Ymir, and began fashioning the ordered universe from his remains, Bergelmir tapped into their power to build the ship and thus survived.
		We can interpret this by understanding that the survivors of the great flooding of the Black Sea did not kill all the ancient Aryans or Atlanteans, and by using the power of the Vril to assist them, many of them were able to survive that great catastrophe.

		Popular books on Norse mythology often state as fact that the giant Bergelmir saved himself from the primeval flood in a boat.

		Since there is some question in regard to this myth, let us go to the source: Of the Bergelmir myth, Snorri says "Hann fór upp á lúðr," He climbed up on a "ludr." (Gylf.
		The original text reads that Bergelmir was "laid upon "lúðr." And, as you see, a lúðr is strongly connected to the idea of a mill.
		The original notion therefore was probably that Bergelmir was to be ground up on a mill and used as soil, like his father and grandfather before him.

	The Rökkr: The Faces of Loki
		The essay on Grandmother Nal shows that Naglfar was synonymous with the world mill beam on which the primal giants Bergelmir and Nal escaped to Jotunheim during the world flood.
		Importantly, Bergelmir and Nal, who are so firmly associated with the world mill, are also known by the names Farbauti (Cruel Striker) and Laufey (The Wooded Isle), the parents of Loki.
		The creative act of Bergelmir-Farbauti being laid on the mill of Nal-Laufey, may have thus, created the future guardian of the mill, Loki- Mundilfore.
