		Each year, Nerthus, embodied in the statue, was drawn in an ox-cart in a sacred procession among the tribes.

	Nerthus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nerthus (also sometimes Hertha) is a Germanic fertility goddess who was mentioned by Tacitus in his work entitled Germania.
		During the centuries that passed between Tacitus's description and the Eddas, there are no remaining records of the role of Nerthus in early Germanic mythology, and thus her role and persona can only be studied in speculation and extrapolation from ancient sources.
		Grigsby argues that the monster Grendel's lake-dwelling mother is ultimately derived from the lake-dwelling Nerthus and that Beowulf's victory over her is symbolic of the ending of the Vanir cult in Denmark by the Odin-worshipping Danes.

		Nerthus' "Black Medieval Art" has to be the most medieval album I've ever heard in my entire life.
		Nerthus is way more medieval, while Ensiferum is more folk-ish.
		The only problem with the interludes is that all the instruments are played by keyboard (except for guitar, bass, and drums of course), and Nerthus could've pushed themselves a bit, like hiring some professional musicians and such, or trying to create an even more medieval atmosphere.

	Ingui
		Sacred to Nerthus, Yngvi and Ingui is the boar, a belief surrounding the boar is that it was a symbol of protection.
