	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.
		The same Groa is also the witch or Völva, summoned from beyond the grave, in the Old Norse poem Grogaldr, (a section of the Svipdagsmál), by her son Svipdag.

	Sigrdrifa's Lay
		This is to be combined with allusions to the runic songs were made in the nine incantations that Groa sings to protect her son on his journey "to find Freya".
		Groa's incantations were therefore intended for a journey that is strongly reminiscent of those of the Siberian shamans towards the celestial fiancé.
		As for Groa, the verse referring to protection is logically the first of her blessings for her sons, but it is obscure, and I associated it to the runes of Protection only because she advised throwing that which seems sinister above your shoulder, a classical gesture associated with protection against evil.

		Gram, chancing to hear that Groa, daughter of Sigtryg, King of the Swedes, was plighted to a certain giant, and holding accursed an union so unworthy of the blood royal, entered on a Swedish war; being destined to emulate the prowess of Hercules in resisting the attempts of monsters.

		The two poems, Grougaldr (Groa's Spell) and Fjolsvinnsmol (the Ballad of Fjolsvith), which many editors have, very wisely, united under the single title of Svipdagsmol, are found only in paper manuscripts, none of them antedating the seventeenth century.
		The general relationship between dialogue and narrative in the Eddic poems is discussed in the introductory note to the Grimnismol, in connection with the use of prose links.
		The love story of Svipdag and Mengloth is not referred to elsewhere in the Poetic Edda, nor does Snorri mention it; however, Groa, who here appears as Svipdag's mother, is spoken of by Snorri as a wise woman, the wife of Orvandil, who helps Thor with her magic charms.
