Vör
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vör is one of the Ásynjur according to the Prose Edda.
|
Tíunda Vör, hon er ok vitr ok spurul svá at engi hlut má hana leyna. Þat er orðtak at kona verði vör þess er hon verðr vís. |
"The tenth is Vör: she is wise and of searching spirit, so that none can conceal anything from her; it is a saying, that a woman becomes 'ware' of that of which she is informed." |
Apart from this pithy quote the goddess is essentially unknown.
