gleipnir,eotens |
 | | The innocent looking Gleipnir (the slippery, not easily handled witchcraft) is made from the roots of the mountain, the noise that the cat makes when it walks, the sinews of a bear, the spittle of a bird, breath of a fish, beard of a woman. |
 | | In the end Týr (Tyr), the brightness of clear sky, the valiant righteousness, the valiant fighter, the human intelligence or consciousness (the sky-god symbol of infinite space in myths), or the bull, the power of the animal in us, offered his hand into the sharp-teethed negativity. |
 | | Gleipnir was put on Fenrir, and the harder he tried the stronger became the magic bonds that hold the corrosive deteriorating negative powers in the world until ragnarök (ragna-roek). |
