MYTHOLOGY
JÖTUNN – THE DEVOURER
Depending on translations, these devourers, or giants of Norse Mythology resided in Jotunheim, an uttangard place described as “beyond the enclosure.” A direct contract to Asgard and Midgard, a place existing in an uttangard location is that of chaos and anarchy. Many would travel to these places to learn about living in the wilderness laced with situations fraught with such extreme vulnerability. Embrace the wilderness, join the devourers.
