	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		Orvandil has the Elivagar and the coasts of Jotunheim as the scene of his exploits during the time in which he is the friend of the gods and the opponent of the giants.
		The sea in question is the Elivagar, and the tradition correctly states that the inn is situated on its southern (western) side.
		On the north side of Elivagar dwell accordingly giants hostile to gods and men; on the south side, on the other hand, beings friendly to the gods and bound in their friendship by oaths.

	Hvergelmir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The well is guarded by Ivaldi and his sons who are charged with the defence of Hel against the incursions of the storm giants.
		All cold rivers are said to come from here, and it was said to be the source of the eleven rivers, Elivagar.
		Above the spring, the serpent Nidhogg gnaws on one of the roots of the world ash, Yggdrasil.

	Ginnungagap
		Ginnungagap ("seeming emptiness"), in the cosmology of Norse mythology, is the primordial void separating Niflheim and Muspell, the land of eternal ice and snow and the land of eternal heat and flame.
		In the beginning, before the world of men and gods existed, the spring Hvergelmir, deep in the frozen wastes of Niflheim, gave rise to eleven rivers known as the Elivagar.
		Over a long period of time, water of the Elivagar ran across Niflheim and poured into the northern part of Ginnungagap.

	Northvegr - A Brief Introduction to Heithni
		After a great long length of primal time, these two great powers began to overlap in the middle, and layers of mist would solidify and become rimes and poisons and fumes, and rivers would begin to run over their layers, and surfaces would rise up, and something solid began to form.
		The greatest of these rivers was called Elivagar, and its torrents ran across the face of this solid land, amidst the northern ices where it would freeze at the extreme end, and the southern fires where it would steam up into mists and fumes.
		Elivagar was tamed by time and sank into the worlds to come up in streams and new rivers and wells, and the greatest of these wells is under her branches.

	Elivagar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Elivagar ("Unknown Waves", "Stormy Waves"or "Poisonous Stream") were the twelve streams, floating out the well Hvergelmir.
		The primal cow Audhumla, and the giant Ymir (or Aurgelmir) were created when the hot fire of Muspellheim spray to the Elivagar's glacier.
		The cow Audhumla licked the salty ice-blocks, till Buri came forth from the blocks.

	Groa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After Thor had despatched Hrungnir with his hammer Mjollnir, Groa was asked to help magically remove shards of Hrungnir's whetstone which had become embedded in Thor's head.
		Unfortunately while Groa was about her work, Thor distracted her by giving her news of her husband's whereabouts (he had earlier helped Aurvandil cross the river Elivagar), telling her that her husband was now at home.
		Groa's spell miscarried and the pieces of whetstone remained permanently embedded in Thor's head.

		Elivagar, too had welled up from its unknown source since time immemorial.
		However that may be Elivagar's crunching, creaking, groaning mountains of ice expanded and exploded and spread layer upon layer of glacier all over the northern quarter of Ginnungagap, and across the ever growing sierras of ice, whirled winds of hail, blizzards and frozen torrents of rain.
		At last the yawning void which lay to the north quarter was blocked with heavy and crushing ice and frost; while in contrast, the southern sky of Ginnungagap glared with sparks and molten gases gushing out of Muspell.

	Elivagar: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Elivagar
		In Norse mythology the "waves of ice" (glaciers) which flow from the fountain Hvergelmir into all the worlds and which provide the life forms for the embodiment of all beings.
		In the cosmogony of the Eddas, it was from elivagar, the glacier or unmoving waters of nonbeing, that the frost giant Ymir was formed: the void of non-existence in which there was "no soil, no sea, no waves" (cf Voluspa in the elder Edda).
		Into the elivagar massed in Ginnungagap (formless or sacred void) fell showers of sparks from Muspellsheim (home of fire), the energic counterpart of Niflheim (home of clouds, nebulae), creating a vapor -- Ymir, the frost giant from which the gods created worlds.

		Hymirskvida 5 tells us that Hymir lives east of the Elivagar, (Icy-waves), "austan elivaga" and in strophe 17, he and Thor "à vàg roa," row out on the waves, which confirms that Hymir's home is located near a body of water.
		There seems to be no consistancy as to the name of this sea, but that is not unusual since it, like all things in the myths can be called by many names, as long as the name and circumstances are sufficent to distinquish it clearly.
		Alfheim is conceived of as being in the east.

		In Niflheim was a spring called Hvergelmir from which the Elivagar (eleven rivers - Svol, Gunnthra, Fiorm, Fimbulthul, Slidr, Hrid, Sylg, Ylg, Vid, Leiptr, and Gioll) flowed.
		The mix of fire and ice caused part of the Elivagar to melt forming the figures Ymir the primeval giant and the cow Audhumla.

	XII. Dark Heart
		Elivagar whirled beneath the prince; a monstrous slab of ice, tumbling end over end as it flew into the air caught him and carried him with it.
		The cauldron of Elivagar was dark as night, and clouds of fl ice crystals swirled around it like the eye-wall of a hurricane.
		Yggdrasil shifted; its third root, sunk in Elivagar's well, was cracked and twisted; it could no longer bear its share of the load.

		With this closure of the upward-pointing and downward-pointing triangles, the ice melts and yields salt, that compound of basic and acid radicals which the ancients considered the chief formative principle in organic creation.
		With the presence of Niflheim at the north of the abyss, the twelve streams of Hvergelmir (called collectively Elivagar) rushed forth laden with a "yeasty venom" which congealed and thickened like slag turning to ice.
		In the Eddie poem, the venom pours forth into the Elivagar without its ultimate source being known, and the serpent simply circles the whole cosmos as it emerges.

		Although the name Elivagar creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, we emphasize that it frustrates you through a scattered and emotional nature.
		This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the heart, lungs, bronchial area, liver, and bloodstream.
		Your name of Elivagar is a dual influence: at times you can be extremely happy, expressive, full of fun, and good-natured; yet at other times you find congenial association impossible, being controlled by self-pity, moods, and depression.

		One such image, which appears in many mythological systems, is that of the kozmic being, on whose body the twelve signs of the zodiac are marked, and so correspond to the different regions of the body.
		In Rökkr kozmology, this primal being is Ymir, the androgynous giant that emerged from the void of Ginungugap, into which flowed the twelve-fold river of Elivagar; which corresponds to the twelve signs of the zodiac.
		However, another expression of this primordial being is in the face of the goddess, which is represented by twelve separate goddesses.

		Across Elivagar they went, and past the vast fishing ground of Hymer, where he is wont to catch whales on great hooks.
		Not until he had slain all those who fled not did Thor swing high the boat and the kettle upon his shoulders, and with Tyr again pursue his way.
		Elivagar they could not have crossed in safety had they not had Hymer's boat, for the waves ran high because of the violent writhings of the Midgard serpent as it lay wounded by hook and hammer on the rumbling floor of Ocean.

		Thorsdrapa preserves a similar tale in regard to the men from "Idis setr," that accompany Thor across the Elivagar rivers.
		In strophe 3, the skald says that Grimnir's (Odin's) men, who are called "Gang's warriors" in the next strophe, "measure Endil's meadow with footsteps." As we have seen, Gang is the name of one of Ivaldi's sons, most likely Egil.

		Like a volcano of ice, it flung bombs of ice high into the air--Vegeta dodged one that came his way--and spewed clouds of ice crystals and snow high, high into the air, fuelling the perpetual blizzard that raged across Niflheim.
		Plunging into poisoned Elivagar was one tremendous root, a root that ran up a mountain and into the sky, to join something Vegeta could barely make out in the ice fog and snow--something that looked like a tree.
		Instinctively he clawed at the ice, trying to stop himself, but there was very little strength in the small part of his soul not trapped by the Corpse-Tearer, and the one hand was still useless.

		Indeed as was pointed out, Thor is returning from battle, he "travels along eastern-ways" a stock phrase for his traveling in Giant-land (see Lokasenna 60 and Harbardsljod 23).
		Thus Harbard is standing in Midgard and Thor is standing in Jotunheim across the Elivagar.
		The poem refers to them as "vik-ings" and speaks of Thjalfi "and his companions." Harbard says that he was "among the host that marched hither." In other words, he marched here to giant-land, in the host led by Thor.
