Gullveig speared and burned by Lorenz Frølich 1895
"The war I remember, | the first in the world,
When the Gods with spears | had smitten Gollveig,
And in the hall | of Hor (Odin) had burned her,
Three times burned, | and three times born,
Oft and again, | yet ever she lives.
Heith they named her | who sought their home,
The wide-seeing witch, | in magic wise;
Minds she bewitched | that were moved by her magic,
To evil women | a joy she was."
-Völuspá 21-22
