	The Aesir & The Elves: Thor and Egil
		Grimnismal 4 (Benjamin Thorpe's translation, hereafter unless noted): Holy is the land, which I see lying to Aesir and Alfar near; but in Thrudheim Thor shall dwell until the powers perish.
		Grimnismal 5: Ydalir it is called, where Ull has himself a dwelling made.
		It would be a mistake to assume that all the dwelling-places named in the first several strophes of Grimnismal are located in Asgard.

		Interestingly, when Ull is named beside the gods in stophe 42 of Grimnismal ("Ullr and all the gods favor shall have, whoever first shall look to the fire" Thorpe, translation) the reference is immediately followed by a reference to the this myth:
		Grimnismal 42 seems to suggest that Ull held a high rank among the gods ("Ullar hylli hefr ok allra goda").
		Strophes 36-41 inform us that she is a goddess and one of the highest, while Grimnismal 47 tells us that the name of the watchman at the gate, Fjolsvidr, is a byname of Odin, himself.

	The Masks of Odin by Elsa-Brita Titchenell, ch 16 (Grimnismal)
		It deals with the properties of living worlds, with the character and functions of their planetary deities and the interrelationships and vital forces that circulate through and among the heavenly bodies.
		In Grimnismal we find the earth's two earliest races growing under direct divine supervision, Agnar, the elder, being trained by Frigga, mother of the Aesir, and Geirrod, the younger, by Odin.
		As the twelve deities named in Grimnismal vary greatly in their attributes, it is not surprising to find included such diverse characters as Ull and Trym, respectively the highest, most spiritual sphere of life in our terrestrial system, and the one most deeply sunk in matter, the globe we at present inhabit.

	Annotated Voluspa
		(Elsewhere we learn that Freyja receives half of the slain [Grimnismal 14], though Egil's Saga 78 implies that she receives women.) Since Völuspa is addressed to both gods and men, we should perhaps visualize the gods and the Einherjar assembled together in Odin's hall as they await the Seeress' inspired predictions.
		Sol is called "the bride of the sky" (Grimnismal 39), across which she journeys daily in a chariot drawn by the horses Arvak and Alsvid, the chariot itself fashioned by the gods from a spark that flew out of Muspellsheim (Grimnismal 37; Gylf 11).
		In the language of men the sun is called Sol; in the language of the gods she is called Sunna (Alvissmal 16), which is also her name in the Second Merseburg Charm.

	Aegir
		We know from the Grimnismal 46 that the gods sit "on Aegir's benches at Aegir's feast".
		Aegir's hall does not necessarily reside in Asgard, as it is not listed in the Grimnismal, though it is described in some detail in the Lokasenna, thus one cannot claim with total assurance that he is a member of the Aesir or Vanir (though as a Jotun, he is no less deserving of worship).
		In the Lokasenna, Aegir is mentioned many times, both by the gods themselves, and by the narrator who describes his hall and the events leading up to the drama.

	[No title]
		In Grimnismal, the homes of the Elves are intimately associated with those of the Aesir: Grimnismal (Benjamin Thorpe's translation, hereafter unless noted): 4.
		To this we can compare Grimnismal 28, which names one of these rivers flowing out of Hvergelmir by the Old Norse name "Hraunn." (In some translations rendered as Hrön) Hymirskvida 36 & 38 use this same name, Hraunn, of the body of water in question.
		Of the 3 times he is named in the Elder Edda (Grimnismal 5 and 42; Atlakvida 30), only the first provides us with any direct information about Ull: Grimnismal (Benjamin Thorpe's translation): 4.

	A couple of years ago, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As the author wrote, "Grimnismal provides the only detailed account of Valhalla in Old Norse Poetry".
		The runic used was a mixture of Scandinavian and Gothic, and done literally letter for letter from my attempt at the Norse phrasing of "By the Five hundred..." (Worked from a Scandinavian version of "Grimnismal").
		All this may be close to the mark, or veering wildly off the course, regarding accuracy, but the enthusiasm and the 'inherent meaning' that comes with it, is the important thing I believe!

		The Masks of Odin by Elsa-Brita Titchenell, ch 16 (Grimnismal)
		This may be the most explicit esoteric instruction concerning the composition of worlds to be found in any extant mythology.
		Analogy is a valid guide to understanding myths, provided it's not distorted or carried to extremes.

	Arvakr: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Arvakr
		Arvakr (Icelandic) Early awake; in Norse mythology, one of two horses that draw the sun across the sky in the Elder Edda (Grimnismal).
		He is said to have the runes of Odin in his ear, while his companion Alsvinnr (or Alsvidr) has them inscribed on his hoof.
